"And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying,“According to your faith be it done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.” But they went away and spread his fame through all that district."
~Matthew 9:27-31 |

Special Note From Naomi Roper
This is made it worth it-this man was our first case. David had to lead him in and place his hands on the chair to know where to sit. The surgery was a little difficult, so the doc had him stay a bit so he could check on him. When Dr. Van Dyck took his patch off 2 hours after the surgery, the guy had a big smile on his face and said (in Spanish, of course), "The doctor has on glasses." And then he could count his fingers from across the room!
Thank you God!
