Miracle

Years ago if someone would have asked me if I believe in miracles I would have said yes, but that I had never seen one. Life soon taught me to see things differently. If I were to tell you the story of how this occurred I would say my first miracle was when God saved my life. You see at the age of 21 I developed a serious infection that landed me in critical care for seven days and took over a year to heal from. I remember before I lost consciousness I asked God to please keep me here so that I could raise my two beautiful children. Several days later when I began to heal a priest came every day and  he read to me my favorite scriptures in the bible. Now I was not catholic and I did not know this priest, but he told me his name was Father David. Since I was in critical care anyone who came had to sign in at the nurses station and sign out when they left as they would only let two in at a time and visiting time was limited. When I finally was strong enough to be sent home to continue healing I was sad becasue Father David did not come that day and so I was not able to tell him bye. Before I left I asked the nurse to please tell Father David how much I appreciated him coming to read to me everyday and that I was sorry that I would not get to tell him bye. My nurse looked at me confused and asked me who Father David was. I said "you know, that sweet priest that came to see me everyday and read to me for 30 minutes scriptures from the bible." My nurse looked confused and she said "Trish, you did not have any visitors named Father David." I said "hmmm maybe he did not have to sign in becasue he is a priest." She then responded "Trish, we have not had any priest come the entire time that you were here." As I tell this story tears still come to my eyes. This was my miracle. My favorite stories in the bible to give me hope, faith, and strength. Yes, I can go on and on now about miracles. How God healed my sweet baby Samantha from her seizure disorder, gave my beautiful son Ben success in the face of adversity, saved my beautiful son Anthony's life, and swept my beautiful baby Ashley into hope and love. The miracle of my mama and her battle with cancer, the miracle of life in general. Yes everyday is a miracle. We are miracles, and so I now live as though everything is a miracle<3
