Alexandra

Alexandra (bottom of picture, red shirt) is the daughter of one of our seminary students. Alexandra is a lively five year old and recently fractured her forearm while playing. The fracture was put in a cast for several weeks. When the cast came off, it was discovered that the bone had not been set straight, so now Alexandra has a crooked forearm. (Her parents opted not to put her through the trauma of re-breaking and resetting the bone.) The doctor hopes to straighten it with therapy and exercise as she is still a child and has much of her growth ahead of her. That is the health care available to people living in third world countries where progress is slow to arrive.

Alexandra’s father is faithful in bringing her to church and in teaching her God’s Word at home. May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen the faith he has put into her heart until she reaches her heavenly home, where her arm will be “crooked” no more!

The Lord bless you with his Peace,
NW
