Today we held a family fast for our Seth Stapel. He will be turning 6 this month and was just found to have one eye that has never focused. It is lazy eye and he now has a patch to put on one eye and glasses.
He is such a miracle kid. How he made it here is a miracle by God. Everyone in the family joined today in fasting and then giving him a special blessing.
Grandpa Chris Paulsen anointed him with healing oil and Val Paulsen, his grandfather gave him a blessing that his eye would be healed yet wearing these glasses would help give him compassion for others.
Jeremy and Heidi the Red were able join us and The Harrs fasted and by means of the speaker phone were able to hear the song, prayer, and blessing.

Our Bishop spoke real recently on the proper way to fast. Healing Seth was a sufficient reason to fast the full 24 hours and with a purpose and pay a fast offering.
It may take time for the outcome of this blessing. It is good that we can turn to the Lord for special requests.
