Giving thanks

My mom went in for heart surgery on Tuesday, they were going to put shunts in and clean out the blockage, which was everywhere, it was dangerous.  Funny thing happened on the table though, when the Doc got in there all the block places were no where to be found. God had answered prayers and healed my mom's heart.

It amazes me, how very personal, our God is, He guides us to the place to hold things loosely and then so often, gives them back, in that process we see the gifts of life through new eyes.

I am quite sure, that I will never understand the greatness and utter goodness of God until I see Him face to face.  When I think of how He works in each of our lives, my kiddo's life, my family's life, other brothers and sisters, and what of the christian that are in Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan right now?  How is it that He is the closest person to each of us and holds the world together at the same time?

Cowper's words come back to me from the Hymn God Moves is a Mysterious Way

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
But trust Him for His grace...

God is His own interpreter
And He will make it plain.

PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!! This is so wonderful, JoJo!! We must tell of His deeds to one another. Thank you for encouraging our hearts with this miracle.

God did a miracle of this type with one of my pregnancies...the condition was confirmed in an ultrasound by a specialist in that field and it was very dangerous. A later ultrasound showed that no such condition existed.

"I am quite sure, that I will never understand the greatness and utter goodness of God until I see Him face to face." YES!!

Forgive all of the exclamation marks...I'm just so happy for you all. Love to you, my friend!
