A Week of Unfolding Miracles

It has truly been a week of miracles. Several weeks ago my friend, GaryM, went to the cardiologist for tests. They revealed that he had extensive blockage and stints would be required. The doctor cautioned that if it was truly as bad as it looked, open-heart surgery might be the only answer. His appointment was set for Monday, 3/19, the first available date. The doctor started the procedure to insert stints, but stopped suddenly. There was no blockage. 'Nary a bit. All gone. Clean as a whistle. Did I tell you family & friends had been praying over GaryM for two weeks? Now tell me He's not a God of might and miracles.

Then there's KylieGrace. She's just 3 months old, a two-vessel baby, w/ a myriad of health problems. There was no choice but to operate, but they put it off as long as they could. She had surgery today - an all-day affair - to reconstruct some body parts, get some inner parts untangled and various other complex procedures. She's out of surgery, doing great, w/ a lot less complications than anticipated. Now tell me He's not a God of might and mircales.

I didn't know what a two-vessel baby was, either. The umbilical cord should contain three "vessels" - one vein and two arteries. A two vessel baby has an umbilical cord w/ one vein and one artery. Mom Casey was told she couldn't have children. (I'll bet God laughed when the doctor said that.) Then when she got pregnant, she delivered a two vessel baby. But God is proving faithful (as ALWAYS) and the problems are being resolved one at a time. You wouldn't believe the people who've been praying over KylieGrace and her family these past months. And we're seeing God work in His usual mighty way.

My heart rejoices w/ this sweet family. They still have a long way to go, but their faith is strong and their extended family support is strong and their Great Physician is even stronger.

Now tell me He's not a God of might and miracles !!!!
