Do you believe in miracles? Well I do but they always have happened to someone else and not to me. Today that all changed. My mothers kidney tumor has disappeared! She has a stent in to drain the urine for 10 days and rest the kidney and will have a recheck at that time. But the Dr. could find nothing to biopsy or examine. He called it a miracle and could not believe it himself. It is funny because I've been praying, not for my mother to be healed but for her to be brave and not to have to hurt to much. I've been praying for me to be strong for her and to be able to be there for her and my family.I did not know how my prayers would be answered but I never thought like this. It is amazing how the grace of the universe works. Tonight we are having our Thanksgiving turkey (we will be on the road Thursday) and I will have something to be especially thankful for. Again my thanks goes out to all my blogger friends who I get so much support from through difficult times, thank you so very much.
Lorrie....that is really good news..and right at Thanksgiving. I have been on both sides of the fence. I lost my mom after a 2 year struggle with pancreatic cancer in the Summer of 2006...but we did have a miracle with John's dad. He too had a tumor..he is a very religious Catholic...attends daily..has his whole life..when he left that morning for surgery he said he sat on the edge of the bed and said, " God, I am going to ask you for a miracle"...and when they went in to to do the surgery..the tumor was gone. The doctor couldn't beleive it..He sent us all home and we sat in the living room...stunned by the answer to a prayer.
ReplyDeleteHe said, I have to give back now..and he volunteers hours a day at the Old Mission here in San Luis Obispo.
Miracles do happen. Prayers are answered.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving my friend.
Fondly,
Kary
