The rate at which a wound
heals can be controlled by the
amount of oxygen reaching the
injured area, a professor of
surgery informs. Oxygen can
be applied directly to the
wound, or systemically, by
face mask or nasal tube. As an
example, a woman's ulcerated
heel resisted skin grafts, and
? amputation seemed necessary.
Instead, the doctor encased
her foot in a plastic bag, and
pure oxygen was continuously
* piped in. Within 24 hours
there was evidence of healing.

Read Romans 8:3 1 -39
"I consider that the sufferings of
this present time are not worth
comparing with the glory that is to
be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18
RSV)
Leslie D. Weatherhead tells of
watching a group of Persian carpet
weavers at work. As they worked
from the wrong side of the carpet,
their fingers moved deftly under the
direction of the master artist who
designed the pattern and who was
responsible for seeing that it was
executed faithfully. Weatherhead
asked what would happen if a
weaver made a mistake, either in
color or in design. He was told that
usually the artist did not interfere
but would simply weave the
mistake into the pattern.
The interruption of death does
not remove the threads of life, but
they continue with the Father's
master pattern for the totality of
our existence.
As we continue to pass the
dayposts and yearposts that mark
off our lives, let us recognize that
death is God's final benefit here
after a long and fruitful life.
Abundant living, inspired by the
leadership of God's love, means the
threads of life are woven into the
faith of resurrection.
PRAYER: Gracious Lord,
thread into our living the eternal
design of resurrection. Give us faith
to commit our lives to You that in
the world to come we may have life
everlasting. In the name of Him
who is the resurrection and the life.
Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
With God. we always have a
glorious future.
