Not only was I raised seeing miracles happen in the church dad was pastor, I saw them in my own life. I heard about a loving God who saved, forgave and healed since I was five years old. Anytime I was sick I trusted in a simple prayer even by me, it didn't matter what it was. I have lived a life of miracles. Tonight as I was resting, I received a text from my oldest daughter saying that my grandson had been in an accident in another city. He is a young man of twenty one years old, in his prime. As I was reading her text, I was reminded that God had had me praying for my grandson with such earnest some nights ago. And I prayed and prayed that God's hand would be upon his life for protection. I didn't fear for my grandson's life , I believed at that moment God was in control of the situation. Hours later my daughter text me saying, mom all is well. Jon has only scratches and bruises. She said the impact was huge, am 18 wheeler hit the car, it was a total loss. Cops couldn't believe my grandson was alive, much less not hurt. I knew God's hand had protected him. If there is a time we feel a need to prayer for someone , by all means pray, it might just save their lives.

Life Family and God
I became a single parent when my children were starting their teenage years. I think every parent can relate to that experience. It is the hardest thing for many parents and more for a single mom. Yet, through struggles and many problems, we all survived. From there on life became easier with time. I can't take most of the credit, it was prayer and the prayers of my wonderful mother who is a forever christian. I'm sure without her spiritual advice and prayer I wouldn't have seen my children turn out a great as they are now. If I am honest with myself I confess having made many wrong decisions through those years. And if I grateful seeing the respect my kids have toward me regardless not having been there for them at times. Many years have gone by and God's faithfulness has followed us. God's blessing comes in many shapes colors and form. I may not have material things , oh but I can say I was blessed in a more rewarding way. My children, and grandchildren are beautiful people, respectful, loving, caring and striving toward being productive in society, things money doesn't buy. As I entered old age and see my life , I realize just how blessed I am. Not because I deserve it, but because we have an awesome God who loves and cares for us. A few days ago I saw my first great grandson , and it sure felt good to see my five generations together. My blurry eyes see old photos of long ago and for a brief moment I can still see little feet running in the house, then it's gone. Life is good!!!
