Fixing

At home group on Monday we played some football.

And yesterday I remembered that Mike was in hospital with a broken ankle not that long ago.
I think it's a miracle that our bodies regenerate, create new flesh, rejoin bone or whatever.
No matter how medical science explains it, it doesn't take away the wonder and awe I have for God's creation and creative power. Just like the fact that I know the water cycle and how raindrops form doesn't take away from the magic of tonnes of gallons of water floating above me, and then dispersing gently and nourishingly onto our planet.
In a world where things seem perpetually detrimental, things fall apart, new jeans become old, holed jeans - why on earth should a bleeding cut choose to zip itself back up! Stupid!
But great at the same time. Healing wounds affirming life.
The power of life, aye? Something inherent in living organisms force them to continue pursuing life. I am thankful.

I suppose our attitudes and thoughts of ourselves & others shouldn't stray far from our biological intentions...
We should be growing our minds, refining our character and learning virtue. And I think all that comes from God, as our source of life -living life. Affirming his restoration and creativity in our physical healing and growth and in the growth of our hearts and attitudes.
That is the power of the Holy Spirit. How awfully humbling.
