How wonderful are the ways of the Lord.
I can't go into much detail now but something similar happened to me. "as they went, they were cleansed." (Luk 17:14) And also blessed. I enjoyed the "both hands and all your might". You forgot the other part of the equation I am sure was there: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us", (Heb 12:1).
And this is my recipe for every day, still as valid as ever. But it came not from "The Family" but from God during the battle of being in the family, who, upon graduation at that level, moved us out to the battle of growing. TF was only a nursery nightmarish battle field with demons running rampant. Thank God for His mercy. GBY.
