ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...

This was a great series, Oneta. It shows that God is in both kinds of healing. I also agree that we can become smug in depending in God alone to heal us because our sinful nature makes us think we had a part in it. Trusting God should always come first, it we should also have confidence in his ability to work through doctors.
On the opposite side of depending on him, however, is habitual dependence on doctors. We do have a part in his healing us in the same sense that we have a part in our salvation. Not works in either, but trust and obedience in both. For today I have to dedicate about three hours this afternoon to go to the doctor! I really don’t like that much! 😀
I’m with you. Thankfully I have a doctor that I’ve. She listens to me and is interested in what I have to say. It also helps that she is a Christian.💕
This is the perfect ending to a great series. Thought provoking and humbling. I can see where your revelation applies to my own life.
“He is precious in his teaching me. He is faithful in guiding me.
In my future, Lord, thy will be done.” — Amen!
It has been a blessing to me to share our experiences. Thanks very much.
I don’t see “smug” but I think the importance of sharing about faith was / is key—to believe His word—and sometimes a healing is miraculous, through trained medical staff or not to be seen in this life…His mysteries abound yet are all interrelated as the repercussion have the ripple effect touching so many involved now and later…
Thanks for staying with me, Julie. He is the force behind all miraculous even when it is done by man. The problem with man is that he makes mistakes. So much of the workings of man can become such evil if not used with wisdom and common sense. Blessings to you and the Town Leaders, especially the Mayor, Sheriff, and their attendants. 😀
Praying hard for the dad attendant— big interview next Wednesday Oneta — needs lots of prayer that this will come through —and Heaven’s know I can’t post such as he’d kill me for all sorts of reasons 😬
I understand. 😀
this has been a wonderful blogging series to journey with you through this series. Thank you sincerely.
I had to walk this road when it came to my children their illnesses and times when I KNOW prayer and God’s Presence healed them. I myself had to walk through the journey where to my shock and disappointment I could not even have my first child without having a caesarian. Where would my first baby and I myself be today if God’s provision of expert medical treatment had not been available.? God loves me, of that I have no doubt but a home birth and no ‘trauma’ was not the way for me. I had three children all born in hospitals (caesarian). I thank God always that He is the Healer just as He is the creator of ‘Life” and I trust Him…..but I listen to His Voice now when it comes to do I stay at home and rest in Him? or do I go and seek advice from the specialist doctors.? God is ever God and one of my doctors has recently given his heart and life to Christ. I also saw miracles of Grace on the Radium journey in recent years. HE IS LORD GOD OF ALL!.
Yes, he is. If we run smack out of resources to do the medical deal sometime, however, it is important to know he does not have to have help to heal his people. 😀 The hernia issue that started all this is back – one of those “mesh” jobs that did not hold, I suppose. If the Lord had done the job, I think it would have “held.” But I’m thankful I am not sick. He is still my Healer. And I bow to His will. ♥
