Over 50 years ago (1967), a diving accident left Joni paralyzed below the neck. But every year she celebrates that event by inviting her friends to enjoy a special meal of crab.
That's because a crab led to her rescue when it bit her sister's toe, causing her sister to stop swimming and notice Joni floating face-down in the water.
Joni has a good sense of humor, but she also has an uncanny ability to see God in her hardships.
"We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
On the 38th anniversary of her accident, Joni read John 5:2-6 where Jesus healed a man who had been an invalid for 38 years. Joni found special comfort in verse six when Jesus acknowledged that the man had suffered "a long time."
Joni knows without a doubt that God understands her pain because He's the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-5). No wonder her testimony has such a powerful effect on others!
Her life helps me put my difficulties in perspective. How about you?Joni's ministry: Joni and Friends
