<TITLE>04. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 After I'd had a great big, long prayer line, crutches and things piled everywhere, the Lord revealing to the people and calling them out through the audience, my brother said, "You've had enough now. We've got to preach again tomorrow." So he come to get me, and I said, "Just call just a few more cards." And when he did, the next one on the platform was that little girl. She had--she had her crutches.
I said to Mrs. Isaacson (and she may be setting here today), I said, "Mrs. Isaacson, just say what I say." I said, "Honey, out there in the hall Jesus made you well. Have some of the ministers take that brace off of you. Watch what happens."
And when they went over there to take it off, I prayed for about another person, and here she come with both legs just as normal as she could be, her hands up in the air, glorifying God. Far as I know, the little thing lives in Finland today, because...

L-14 Children--children's amazing, aren't they? The simplicity of faith...
I've got two little girls. They're getting big now. They're still my girls. I used to tell a little story about, one time I was waiting--mother was, for me to come home. I'd been out on a meeting, and the little girls was waiting up with me, for me, rather. And so the sand man come along and they got sleepy, and about one o'clock mother put them to bed.
And the plane was late. When I got in I was too tired to rest. (Like last night, I couldn't even sleep at all.) So I just got up about--laid down for about two hours. I got up and went out in the living room, set down in a chair.
And I always made a parable out of it. Rebekah is my oldest daughter. Little Sharon went home to--with her mother, you know, years ago. But Rebekah is my oldest. She's four years older than Sarah, and Sarah was then about four, oh, about two years old, I guess, and Becky was about six years old. So Becky to me represented the church that's been here a long time. She was long-legged and skinny. And Sarah is a little bitty tot, brown-eyed, chubby.

L-15 And so... I don't know, I guess your children's like mine. The hand-me-downs (it's clothes that comes down), so Sarah was wearing out Becky's pajamas, and they were too big for her. They had them rabbit-feet pajamas, you know, in them days. And so, they were quite too big for Sarah.
So that morning after it got daylight, why, the first thing you know, I--I heard a noise. Somebody turned over back in the other room, the children, and Rebekah woke up. She realized, "Daddy must be home," and out of the bed she come as hard as she could. That woke Sarah up. Sarah tried to follow her.
Becky could outrun her; she was longer-legged. So she run and jumped astraddle my leg, throwed both arms around my neck, and begin to holler, "Daddy, daddy." And little Sarah, coming with them, Becky's long-footed pajamas, and she was stumbling. And she was too short. She couldn't keep up with Becky.
