          Luke 8:43-46 (paraphrase)



          The Story of the Woman Healed


          I liked this story because it reminds me of my mom.


          She was always sick and going from doctor to doctor,
          month after month and year after year. She spent all the

          money  she  had,  but  never  got  well.  Her  community
          despised  her,  so  she  stayed  by  herself.  One  day,  she

          somehow  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming  to  town.  She

          decided that no matter what, she was going out to see
          Him. She pushed her way through the crowd, thinking

          to herself, “If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I
          know that I will be healed.”


          Sure enough, she touched Him—and she was healed.


          When Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” (v45, NKJV),
          she told Him the truth.


          My stepfather smoked a pipe. One morning, he stuffed
          it with tobacco and sent me to the kitchen to light it for

          him.
