When we paused at last week's reading, we'd just heard the events that led to the hands of a small statured woman (Beverly) being damaged. It was devastating to hear.  Yet we read that her face was illuminated, as she told the story, and her heart was full of praise, evidenced by the fact that she sang praises to God, alongside sharing her story.  During today's reading, we will see the impact this encounter made on Carole's life and, perhaps, discover the impact it makes on ours.
