This is how I visualize it: the angels of the Heavenly Miracle Review Committee are sitting around in a circle of silver-lined clouds, looking through the last month's worth of miracles. The file is thick, so the committee is pleased with the thought that the monthly miracle quota has been met. They are about to sign off with a big gold checkmark when a tiny angel on a corner cloud pipes up: "Wait! I just have this feeling: we need ONE more miracle, just one more. And I know who it needs to go to."
The miracle went to my oldest (and pregnant) sister, who was T-boned by a drunk driver Wednesday night in Spokane. Her car spun in a full circle and flew up over the hood of a nearby vehicle. Four witnesses stopped their cars in a protective road-block, then watched in absolute disbelief as my sister stepped out of her totalled car. The passenger riding with the drunk driver collapsed onto the sidewalk in sobs, and another driver could not stop crying and shaking from what she had just witnessed. When the EMTs saw my sister's car they prepared to extricate a dead person. They couldn't believe she was standing right there in front of them. "People don't just walk away from hits like this," they kept saying. My sister is matter-of-fact about it: "God gave me a miracle. He was true to His promises."
This post gave me chills.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a paramedic and has spent a lot time on wrecks like these. I understand what should have been and I am please that it wasn't. She is a very lucky person.
Praise the Lord. He is so gracious when He shows us just how great he is. All I can say after reading this is Thank you Jesus You are so awesome. We know how grateful all are that were witnesses to your mercy and majesty when you choose to save this woman. Amen
