Miracles Within Miracles

I've been reading recently in the Gospels and Acts, and it occurred to me that it's easy to miss the scope of miracles in some healings. A person healed of leprosy may be just that, healed of that disease. But if the disease did damage to parts of the body, that also may have been healed. This was certainly true when deaf, blind and lame people were healed. For such a person, being healed of the immediate cause of their blindness, etc., would not have sufficed. In addition to that healing, the person's nerve pathways would have had to "learn" to communicate information, the person's brain would have had to learn to interpret information or learn to control muscles never used, and those muscles would have to "learn" and gain the strength to be used!
