He can hear!

On Palm Sunday we visited the Nursing Home, to hold a special worship service and give out palms to the residents.
We also circulated through the building to give palms to the staff. There was a festive atmosphere -- by the time we left, the wheelchairs, counters and medication carts all seemed to sport a palm frond.
But the most exciting thing happened at the end. 'S' was trying to talk to a gentleman who was deaf, and they were both frustrated by the difficulty in communicating, and so she put her hand on his ear, and prayed that God would heal him. As she continued to talk to him, he cried out
"what did you do to me? I can hear!"
He was still partially deaf -- but was excited at the hearing that had been restored. And with tears in his eyes, he proclaimed
"it's a miracle."
