Give me a grateful Heart, O Lord!  
 
Days, weeks, months and years have rolled by after I had been gifted with a special blessing from the Lord. I took it for granted and failed to witness to his mercy towards me.
 
My illness started in 1987. In the beginning it was a mild blackout. Slowly it developed into convulsions. I was given a lot of treatment for one and a half years. I felt relieved. Then the sickness started with greater frequency. Treatment by many doctors did not give me any relief. Finally I attended a prayer meeting conducted by the Potta team which was held on our school premises. I did really feel the close presence of the Lord and his healing touch. It was confirmed by the team members. I was told that the healing would take place with in seven months. True enough, within that period, I had to undergo a major operation. Then I was instructed by the doctors to continue with medicines which would keep away this type of bouts. I continued with the treatment and never was I troubled by that illness.
 
I attended two more prayer meetings of the Potta team and every time I was told to witness to Jesus' love towards me. I kept postponing, rather shrank from doing so. Once again, I have become a prey to mild attacks to remind me that I am like the healed lepers who never returned to give thanks to the Lord.
 
Lord I praise and thank you for the marvels you have done for me.   "We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks; your name is near. People tell of your wondrous deeds" (Ps 75:1)
