Open the Roof


Friends lowered a sick man
down through a hole
in the roof of the house
where Jesus was teaching.

As the story goes,
Jesus healed the man,
who then stood up,
picked up his bed,
and walked out.

When I need healing,
it's good to have friends
who will open a roof for me.

Opening a roof is sometimes
the only healing we need.
