A Miracle for Sure

YES! God is still in the business of miracles! And our family was the receipient of one this past weekend.
Trying to keep it simple as to not get you lost, here is an abbreviated testimony!

My Uncle and his grandson went hunting this past weekend and were camping in their mobile home. They were overcome with carbon monoxide during the night. The grandson made it out of the camper, was found by another family member. Then my uncle was found, barely breating (very shallow breaths).

The rescue squad was called (to this very remote location), they arrived and did NOT give a promising report, in fact they pretty much delivered a death sentence.

They continued to administer oxygen to both of them and transport them to the hospital. (It took 3 and 4 hours to get one and then the other to Radford Hospital).

Upon arriving there, the doctor asked my Uncle "What is your name, or Do you know who you are?" My Uncle replied.....

"My name is Sue... who are you?"! HAHAHA

I asked my dad, who was relaying this informaiton to me, was he delirious, or just being funny reciting his Johnny Cash song?!... we're still not sure about that.

They ran tests and discoverd that my uncle's carbon monoxide count was 350... a normal count is between 0 and 1!!! All the medical staff did NOT expect him to make it....

Well, my Aunt had made some calls upon learning of her husband's and grandson's condition and asked for prayer.... well I'm here to remind you that prayer still works today!

I just happened to (do you think maybe God had something to do with that? Because this baby shower was NOT suppose to be at my house....) have about 12 christian ladies over for a baby shower yesterday, and we all stopped and took time to pray for the situation and agree together for LIFE! So THANK YOU LORD for the MIRACLE OF LIFE!

AGAIN... the Favor of the Lord reigns... rains... in our home and our family! Thank you Lord.

Cheryl, it's been a while since I popped over here to see how things are going for you. I simply cannot believe how time races by, and each day ends with only a fraction of the things done that I wanted to do.

Anyway...

I'm so glad I stopped by because this is so encouraging! Thanks for sharing this. I can never be reminded too often about the power of prayer!
