Katkelma saamastani e-mailista, koskien Amiel Ortizin tilaa pommiräjähdyksen jälkeen 8.4.-08

Käännöksenä vain oleellinen allaolevasta e-postikatkelmasta:

Dear Rxxx & Ixxx,
Yesterday Ami began sitting up and today he walked! He had a little help,
but he walked! Each day he shows miraculous improvement. To see where he
was and where he is now is nothing less than a miracle.

I wish I could tell you everything is wonderful. Realistically Ami has a
high mountain to climb to reach full recovery. The Doctor told David that
it may be a year before Ami is really moving again. In many cases our
spiritual understanding is limited to believing that God only makes things
good .....what ever our definition of good is. Healing is from God and our
pain and struggles are from Satan. Leah, Ami's mother, made a statement
that God spared Ami's life, but, like Job, has allowed Ami to suffer to a
certain point. Why would God do that?

Many of the Palestinians whom David, Ami's dad, has shared the Gospel with
know this all to well. Salvation does not bring to them a "well to do" life
and it does not guarantee them good health. Many have been beaten
severely. Many have spent long time periods in run down prisons for no
reason or justification. Several have been murder. In the 10/40 window
this is a common occurrence. Eternity is their only hope. Death is a
beautiful reward. Worth every struggle ....worth all the pain.

Ami's pain is intense. Along with the pain he is beginning to experience
severe itching. It has been hard to keep his hands away from the scabs
forming on many parts of his body. The doctors are limiting his pain
medicine mainly because they want his body to get stronger and to also
prevent addiction. The writhing pain keeps sleep to a minimum. His
helpless screams through most of night are taking their toll on Ami as well
as David and Leah. Please pray.
