I find an old letter

I've been sorting through a lot of "stuff" this month as we've moved to a smaller place. This e-mail, written years ago to a dear long-time friend whose struggle with cancer was nearing the end, was among some of the things I found. Dear ---- Thanks so much for sharing. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I often wake with you on my heart. We have a God of miracles - He works miracles in our lives! I met a Mom yesterday, a total stranger with a new-born, and we shared a moment about the miracle of a tiny perfect body formed in her womb. There is the miracle of physical healing - and how greatly we rejoice to see that take place. There is the miracle of spiritual healings and our rejoicing knows no bounds when we see these take place. There is the miracle of transporting a soul from this life to the next and we can only guess at the extent of rejoicing on the other side. To be open to only one kind of miracle may rob us of the joy of experiencing another. With this thought, the memories of Peter (my deceased husband) come to mind vivid and clear. He experienced many miracles of healing in his struggle with heart disease and how we rejoiced in these. He lived long beyond any doctor's expectation. He received an "inkling" from the Lord a few days before a much greater miracle was going to happen. These were precious days - almost the most precious of all the days we had together. It is an amazing thing to "hear" God say that the "rehearsal" is over and the "play" is about to begin. I watched in awe as Peter summed up, said good-bye to the world of nature he loved so much, wrote letters, one precious one to me, made phone calls, impacted people around him in an extraordinary way as his joy overflowed to all around. He left with a smile on his face as he "heard" the rejoicing beyond - and I was left with the wonder of having the experience of walking with someone right to glory's door. One way or another, God will work a miracle in your life. He is an awsome God. Love and prayers, Angie Next: "Grace" Back to: "Archives"
