Spiritual Gratitude Acknowledgment!
Approaching year-end 2009, we wish in Spiritual Xmas tradition -- to thank all persons visiting our ebay website store and auction. Special thanks in gratitude to those wonderful persons who contribute to our international plea for financial support; shopping at our eBay website store. Sale proceeds we regarded as contributions towards addressing the outstanding financial obligation incurred from cataract surgery on Grand-Father Rudy’s eyesight. Additional thanks of appreciation for those of you so thoughtful -- sharing kind words of praise, encouragement and especially, devout prayers to ensure successful cataract operations!
The trauma is over! Anxiety whether the second eye cataract surgery operation would be as successful as with the left eye! It turned out initially Rudy’s right eye surgery did not succeed as well as with the left eye. A new machine was used, supposedly better to replace the older machine that broke down. For unknown reasons the second surgery procedure made Rudy extremely sick with eye inflammation soreness and headache that nauseated him! Worst scenario right off --- vision was not improved, (Hazy - obscure)!
The following morning appointment was very discouraging as the doctor had no explanation for Rudy’s poor right eye sight. Rudy asked, “what went wrong doctor?” “I don’t know,” replied the doctor with little emotion. “Can it be redone?” asked Rudy -- the doctor answering, “no way”. So Rudy stated, “in other words the operation works or it doesn’t?” “That’s correct,” was the reply, dismaying Rudy and I to say the least!
Though dejected, Rudy and I resilient as ever, invoked Great Spirit immediately to help resolve the matter by ensuring the swelling, pain and headache fade away. We rested in faith too that all those prayers for Rudy’s welfare would prevail. The doctor offered no medication to alleviate the discomfort! Advising only to use the same eye-drops as before -- in the week prior to surgery to prevent eye infection.
In consternation over the swelling and pain with no clear vision; we prayerfully hoped to clear away the negative eye symptoms. Slowly but surely our prayers combined (We sensed) with prayers offered from well wishers were being effected. Without medication, (Only Prayers) the swelling slowly eased up and Rudy’s eyesight by the day gradually started clearing. A few days later on appointment for a check up, his eyesight showed improvement. The prognosis was that Rudy’s eyesight would clear completely when the swelling disappears. We have faith in Great Spirit to make that positive statement -- True!
We sense Great Spirit’s intercession, (People’s prayers too) as the remedy for the swelling and soreness gradually fading. Rudy’s right eye is feeling much better -- with slight soreness. His vision is not as clear as the left eye, but good enough to prevent the imbalance he felt right after cataract surgery.
At this juncture in our lives we are overwhelmed with the spiritual essence --- from supportive wonderful “unseen” folks worldwide. Responding earnestly to our plea for contributions by shopping at our web-site store for crafted items -- listed on eBay. Such display of affection and compassion creates a sense of kindred spirit, unlike anything else in our forty four years of a blissful and compatible relationship. Prompting an awesome feeling of spiritual acknowledgment!
We feel and sense that “belief” is a powerful mysterious catalyst! That the mystery of immanence of and in God -- Great Spirit as perceived but not seen, is relevant to the unseen countless persons who contribute so graciously to our mission and cause and especially for Rudy’s eyesight! Reality is, that all you existing unseen wonderful folks help us immensely, mentally and physically, to “help others help themselves spiritually,”! The reality in power of “belief” in positive manner can create seeming miracles.
Thanks again you wonderful, (Mystery unseen) persons --- for helping us to cope with the credit companies that financed our Doctor, hospital and pharmaceutical charges. A financial obligation still outstanding! Making this coming Xmas the most wonderful ever! Merry Xmas and a wonderful New Year to all of you reading this chapter of our lives!
May Great Spirit -- God -- bless all -- especially you unseen benevolent persons that answered our summons in a critical and desperate time of our lives! The miracle of sight is indeed a blessing we aught all acknowledge as the greatest of BLESSINGS!
Great love with blessings to one and all from the Quail family, Precious, (Male nine years young) Angelyna, (Female three years young) Myo, (Male, year six months young) Sheri-- fifty-nine years and Rudy -- Eagle Eyes -- the prophet Grand-Father going on eighty four winters!
