Standing - a Miracle

I've written much over the last few months about Matilda. In a way
she is an unexpected gift that the Lord brought to our Village - not
planned or sought after. Yesterday I was at the school for a short
time (recovering from the flu, so have been out for a couple of days).
All of a sudden Teacher Bosman came and got me with such excitement
in her voice. She said, "Kathleen come quick, you have to see this."
I followed her and looked out at the children lined up on the verandah
for the start of the school day. There was Matilda standing on her
own in the line, not holding on to anything. She had a huge grin on
her face. What a wonderful thing!

The thing I believe she likes to do most at school is to go into the
office and walk, unaided, from one end to another. She will have a
look of concentration on her face and joy as she finishes walking the
length of the room. So wonderful things are happening and she is
definitely making progress. Thanks for your prayers!
