Counting Blessings

Daughter number two just came back from a trip to Lansing, Michigan. Mrs. Scott, and daughter number one all went to visit Dr. Faust. His skills in straightening teeth are well known. Mrs. Scott worked for him for twelve years. As a result of her hard work, he has generously given our children free orthodontic work. All we need to do is get the children there to him. He did a great job for our daughter number one and is just starting with daughter number two. She is happy about the experience.
I am thankful because when this daughter was around three years old we had to have her front baby teeth all surgically removed due to her teeth becoming rotten. Soft enamel and too much apple juice did great harm. She saw a specialist for years and then was released when her adult teeth arrived. In many of her picture she has no front teeth. She was always asked about it and she just smiled on even without those front teeth.
For her to have teeth that all they need is straightening is to the glory of God. We are blessed that this little girl is now able to smile with braces on her new teeth.
