4 Weeks.
My left ear had suddenly gone muffled.
I took different medicines and tried home remedies.
Every morning I placed my hand on the ear and prayed, "Ephphatha!" "Be Opened!"
Because I couldn't hear external sounds well, I got more sensitive to the inner voice.
God's grace is sufficient.

2 Weeks.
I wondered how I would hold up while Joyce was gone for surgery in Korea.
Then myriads of ravens brought the gifts of meals, prayers, babysitting, love, and encouragement day by day.
The weeks had passed before I was aware of it.
God's grace is sufficient.

Yesterday.
On the way home was treacherous because of the snowstorm.
We made it home safely,
not because I am a veteran driver, nor is our car well-equipped,
but because many were praying for us.
We felt God was watching over us all the way.
God's grace is sufficient.

Today.
I will remember what God has done and sing praises to his name.
I will speak to my soul,
"Why are you cast down? Hope in God, for God's grace is sufficient."
