OUR VIEW

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Clara Overleese, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chester Overleese of Milford, suffered several strokes within several years which left her incapacitated. She was healed through what she calls, "My Miracle." Miss Overleese presently resides at Miller's Merry Manor in Culver and the following is her story.) By CLARA OVERLEESE I had been completely helpless from five strokes in four years. I had to be lifted in and out of bed and screamed with pain when I was turned or lifted up. I couldn’t see to read or write for six years. In the early morning of Aug. 5, 1982,1 felt something go over my body from head to foot. Then I was able to move my entire body. I sat straight up in bed, clasped my hands, put my arms up over my head and shoo v them. Then I moved my legs around and then my whole body. I hardly knew what to do with my new life. Whenever anybody came into my room that moming, I sat straight up in bed and shocked everybody! I was even able to see again to read and write. I hadn’t been able to for six years! I could even operate my talking books and radio. I could sit up in my chair without being tied in. I was able to use regular silverware, plates, glass and cup instead of the ones that were special ordered for me. I even cut my own meat, took care of everything on my tray and was put in the dining room to. eat. From then on with the help of others, I began to do things normal again much to my amazement. Some things came slowly * and awkwardly as I built up my strength and muscles that I hadn’t used for a long time. I could even talk better. I gradually began trying to do more for myself all the time. Some things I had trouble doing, but if I couldn’t do it one way, I would try it another way. My motto is, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.” That, and with much determination and help and encouragement from the staff and my nephew

My miracle

(Ron Tusing) and his family, helped me recuperate. Many others from Trinity and Wesley Church also helped. I have had several setbacks this past year, but with help through prayers and other things, I got along fine. Just before Christmas, 1982, I broke my ankle. Ron came in my room and caught me crying from pain. I thought I was going to be missing out on Christmas and all the activities. He said that, “Kay and I are going ahead as planned, and we want you to also. You’ll walk again just as good as before." They kept taking me to church, for rides in the car and to their house. They knew I enjoyed it so much. I’m going to be walking alone before long. Maybe with the help of a quad cane, like I did for years before the strokes. My miracle wouldn’t have been lasting without all the help from Miller’s Merry Manor. I had many kind thoughts and deeds from everybody here. I feel sure none of this could have happened at any of the other places I had been for the past 13 years. This has been the best place yet. Although my whole body is still numb and tingly and has a fuzzy feeling, I still have pain all over from osteoarthritis. With five knee surgeries and three torn ligaments, my left foot broken twice, three spinal injuries and weak muscles and joints from after effects of Undulant Fever, I think I’m very lucky that I can walk or be as good as I am. I’m so thankful that my hands and eyes are good enough for me to want to do hobbies again. I’m able to design and make my own cards and stationery. It makes me happier to keep busy. It seems to please my many friends and relatives that I want to do things like I used to do. Ruth and Carol, employees at the nursing home, took me to my great-niece’s wedding on Sept. 11, 1982. I enjoyed it very much and got along fine. It made me want to go more when anybody could take me. I hadn’t been out for a long time. It’s getting easier to

get in and out of the car all the time. I went on my first shopping spree in 14 or 15 years on June 10, 1983, my birthday . llisa took me. I was gone for 12 hours and got along fine. I used my walker until 3:30 p.m., then the wheelchair. I did some visiting too. It was the best birthday I’ve ever bad! I had many surprises too on that day. I have been given bathroom privileges too. It is the first time I have helped myself for seven or eight years. I am doing more for myself each day. I’m wheeling my own chair and walking with a quad cane better each day with help. I can’t thank and praise God enough for all the help I have been given through prayers from the “well prayer group” and many others. I know I was reborn again! ' TO SPEAK AT MILFORD — David Stokes, minister of the Bachelor Creek Church of Christ in Wabash will be the guest speaker at the Area Men’s Fellowship to be held in Milford on Monday, Feb. 6. The Christian Church will be hosting the Men’s Fellowship for its monthly supper meeting at 7 p.m. in the church dining room. Men from the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ will be attending from Goshen, Ligonier, Columbia City, Warsaw, Etna Green, Plymouth and Milford. All men of the community are invited to attend. Besides the supper, served by the ladies of the church, and the program, there will be special music along with group singing.

Calvary's "For Fun" Club to meet The “For Fun” Club, organized for all friends and members of the Calvary United Methodist Church in Syracuse who are 50 years of age and over, meets on the first Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Included in their activities are carry-in dinners, scheduled speakers with special interests, hobbies and professions, bus tours throughout the area and other planned programming. A dinner and program will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at noon with Ron Kramer, well-known local resident of Syracuse, presenting a display of his antique records and record players. Kramer will also present the group with the origin and history of his collection. Ronald Sharp is in charge of the arrangements. Recently during the Christmas season, the group toured the downtown area of Chicago. Included in their itinerary of viewing were the decorated stores, visiting some of the shops and attending a luncheon. The tour was concluded by attending the stage showing of “The Nutcracker Suite” at the Arie Crown Theater, McCormick Place. Mrs. Harold Hazenfield, tour director and arranger, is presently planning a spring bus trip. Plans for the trip will be finalized and announced at a later date. Parable of Jesus And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparision shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when is is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge > under the shadow of it. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. Mark 4:30-34

■ ——~l c ronSi _____ UiUU OUR FAITH SHOULD NOT BE OVERSHADOWED BY POPULAR MYTHS legend that the duration of winter depends on whether or not a certain groundhog sees his shadow is a popular one that persists today, in defiance of all modern technology in weather prediction. It is still widely believed that the emergence of this famous rodent from his bur- . row can provide a more reliable forecast than all the meteorological instruments combined; not to mention the cold fronts and cut-off lows on the sat- * ellite map. Superstition of one kind or another has always preyed upon the gullibility of human na- -'. ture, and has been known to create serious problems; notably in the study of religion. Let your House of Worship dispel any false notions you might have and shine the light of truth on the doctrine of your faith, so that you will understand it better and learn to rely on God’s love and guidance; beyond a shadow of a doubt. The ——— Newspaper / DIDLE THAT® A GOOD QUESTION! As Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple area, he asked them this question: "Why do your religious teachers claim that the Messiah must be a descendant of King David? For David himself said—and the Holy Spirit was speaking through him when he said it-’God said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool/ Since . David c*Uedlhimius Lord, how can he be his son?" (This sort of reasoning delighted the crowd and they listened to him with great interest.) (Mark 12:35-37)
