actually require physical reconstruction?"

Bingo sister! It is curious too why, and perhaps it is me only, that we 
hear of folks being healed of one leg longer than the other and not one 
like us with an obvious life changing ailment??? Why is that or is it just 
me? Also you are right in saying many walk away looking at our's or other's 
situations "Gee I'm thankful I'm not in that situation". I did even see 
some of that in the devotion Rhonda posted. It is sooooo easy for people to 
say "God has blessed you with the ability to handle your situation, 
praise  and glory to him who gave you patience and look all you learned 
from this situation", and then they hop in their car and drive 
home.  Granted I bet we do the same with those we feel have harder cards to 
play in life. It is a different perspective when   someone with an 
affliction gives glory for the illness, but to me, and I reluctantly say 
anything here as I said I don't want to pull at anyone's beliefs that 
enable them to cope, but I can't see  glory in that either.  Perhaps I'm 
not spiritually mature to that point yet, maybe that's it. I do however see 
a gigantic  opportunity for people to see God's glory in my healing. I know 
many blind vendors here in WI, plus having been blind for sometime now, 
gotten to know many blind folks, and of course we become pegged as the 
blind guy who does this or does that by sighted folks, and then of course 
our relatives, think of that impact. I wonder what they'd do or say or 
wonder if they saw me driving next week, looking them square in the eye, 
waving and smiling hahaha? Now there's opportunity for glory. And you know 
what? Isn't that what Jesus meant and demonstrated with the blind guy when 
the disciples asked him who sinned this man or his parents? And Jesus said 
neither but for the glory of God, then he spit in mud, swiped his eyes and 
said wash off dude and you'll be flashing them baby blues. And didn't the 
blind man give credit to Jesus? Who in turn gave credit to the 
Father?  Perhaps I am a bit *snapping fingers* what's the word I'm looking 
for... rebellious? Brash? No no, I don't know the word, upfront 
maybe???  anyway it is almost  rather than to say God wills me this way and 
get's glory out of it,  I  can't help  not hiding my thoughts in saying "OK 
God. Point blank here, no more games, no more fooling around with this 
thing. Do you heal or don't you? And if so, why not me so I can fix what is 
out of your will and move on with the life you given me in a way I was 
originally equipped to do! If you don't then I know the score and I'll fall 
in place and accept that."  I don't mean that disrespectfully, but I also 
can't feel one way and hide it from him. That's just foolishness.
