Talk to the Hand
By Mugs Manry
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
I walked into the hospital room prepared to face the reality of the damage caused by my father’s stroke. The left side of his body was unresponsive, and he had lost the left peripheral vision in both eyes. He could not feel anyone touching his left arm or his left leg, nor could he pull up to a sitting or standing position because his left side weighted him down. Inside I felt devastated; outside I attempted to be helpful.
