I've been thumbing through my grandfather's books the past couple of days. He was a pastor and seemingly an historian [based on the books he annotated the daylights out of]. Anyway, he is the person I have looked up to most in my life, and also had to keep a close reign on the magnitude of my idolization for him.
I read a few excerpts in The Touch of the Master's Hand by Charles Allen today. Several things spoke to me, but I wanted to share the first thing I read in it. I'd never heard this before but saw such beauty in it.
This is discussing the miracle of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus's garment, Mark 5:25-34:
The Touch that Heals
"'Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole.' said Jesus. That is the only time Jesus ever used the term 'daughter' in addressing another person. As you read the New Testament, you are impressed with the tenderness He expressed so often toward those in need. He was always kind and gentle toward those who sought His help. But toward one person He seemed to feel a loving sympathy that He never felt toward any other. 'Daughter,' He said, just that one time."

Hi Erin,
ReplyDeleteI work for the company that produces Mutual of Omaha’s Aha Moment campaign; check out www.mutualofomaha.com/aha to see what an aha moment is and the incredible stories we’ve filmed over the last several years. As I came across your website, I couldn’t help but think that you might have an aha moment to share.
For the 6th year, we’re taking our 34-foot Airstream mobile film studio on the road again for the 2015 Aha Moment Tour, visiting 20 cities across America to capture inspirational, life-changing aha moments from folks all over the country. We are headed to Jackson, MS on May 18th and 19th and would love to invite you to share an aha moment, and how your life has changed since. It can be about your work, your family or other life experiences. You would just have to step into the Airstream studio for a few minutes and tell your story on film to our tour producer Jessica Henry. Your video will then be posted to www.mutualofomaha.com/aha, where you will be able to share it with your friends and family via email, Facebook and Twitter!
On May 18th and 19th from 10am to 6pm, we will be parked at the Highland Village, at 4500 Interstate 55 North (in the SW corner of the parking lot, under the billboard), Jackson, MS 39211. Here is a map link to the location: https://goo.gl/maps/Q7wyb
We’d love to have you. Let me know as soon as possible and I can reserve your time slot.
Many thanks!
