Keep the Faith

Dear Michelle,

 

It happened two years ago.  I was toward the end of my third pregnancy and went into labor at 27 weeks.  They stopped my labor and put me on bed rest.  Well, as much as I could with two young daughters to care for.  Then at 36 weeks I went into labor and delivered my son, barely breathing.  He was taken right away and placed in an incubator.  We waited, and after 3 days he was well enough to come home.  Sounds pretty normal, but with me being off of work our financial burden was extreme.  Our home had gone into foreclosure.  We had already lost our van and the bills were pilling up.

 

My husband who was not a man of strong faith said he needed to be alone, and he went outside.  Here he went out to pray and asked God to please help.  A few days later he found he had won on a ticket he had bought from a friend who was selling it for his church.  He had forgotten all about and thought it would be nice an extra $100.00 would help.  Then he told my husband that he hit the jackpot, which was $15,000.00.

 

I believe to this day that God had answered my husbands prayers.  He prays more and goes to church.  Miracles can be small, like my beautiful boy or they can be large.  Just keep the faith!!

 

God Bless,
Christine
