Two Miracles

Some of us have the tendency to fill the gap from point A to point B with little "sub points", that is, on the way to the grocery store, stopping to mail letters at the post office, and while there, oh yes, picking up stamps; then filling the gas tank at the gas station, and of course,  while near it, stopping at the CVS to pick up a birthday card,  etc...Finally we get to the grocery store an hour later than planned...
So Jesus, on the way to see the daughter of Jairus, was delayed with another urgent request for healing.  He stopped, marveled at the hemorrhaging woman and cured her. In the meantime, the young girl died. The news provided a further opportunity for teaching and healing in an even more spectacular way.
Jesus knows that circumstances, even our own hesitant faith might stand in the way of his healing presence but as always comes to the rescue and asserts his loving care. The favor is granted and our faith and confidence, strengthened.  Jesus takes full advantage of all the points between A and B!
