ON THE WINGS OF A SNOW WHITE DOVE.......

TERRIE at LIL' PIECE OF SERENITY asked us once if we believed in miracles...

YES, Terrie, I DO....

*********************************
the following was posted a couple of years ago....

but, especially at this time of year, I want to tell it over and over and over again.......

"ON THE WINGS OF A SNOW WHITE DOVE,
HE SENDS HIS PURE, SWEET LOVE,
A SIGN FROM ABOVE,
ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE.....
When troubles surround us,
When evil comes,
The body grows weak,
The Spirit grows numb........
When these things beset us,
HE doesn't forget us,
HE sends down HIS love,
On the wings of a dove."

Two of our precious grandsons each had their backs broken within a year of each other.

One, 13 years old, a motorcycle accident, very serious, heartbreaking and heart-stopping for days, into weeks before we knew that he WOULD be okay, with time. At first, the doctors said he may not even survive such trama...then, if he did, he might not walk again. We spent many nights, pacing, crying, praying, stomping feet and back to praying....I thought, that in my lifetime, my heart had hurt before but nothing EVER hurt like this. He spent many weeks in the hospital and wore a back brace for a year. Now, a little over a year later, he is doing so well, it brings me to my knees every single night and it will for the rest of my life.
***********************

UPDATE: NOV. '08 *HE AND HIS MOM returned from Dallas after another exam was done on Brooks..

He got an excellent report and doesn't have to go back for a whole YEAR...

We give thanks ! and all praise to GOD ..

and my heart is so full I can barely type...

UPDATE:

OCTOBER '09..Brooks is still doing good.

We are all so thankful we don't know what to do.

The older brother, 17 years old, in a VERY serious automobile accident. Very serious broken back, cut his nose away from the top part of the lip....another heartbreaking, heart- stopping few days, into weeks. Our hearts were hurting so, we could barely speak, breath; we just sobbed and prayed, declared "why not ME?" and back to praying. He, too, IS GOING TO RECOVER. He is still in a back brace and will wear it for awhile longer. His nose barely has a scar now; the doctors did a fine job with the stitching.

NOTE: NOV. 08 *ONE YEAR LATER...he has recoved from both injuries and is doing very well..

UPDATE, NOV. 2009

DREW is having no trouble with his back.

How thankful we are for this.

ALL OF THE GLORY GOES TO OUR AWESOME GOD.
**********************

Every single morning, I wake up so thankful, so grateful, so full of life and joy that both of these fine young men that I love more than life itself, survived these accidents, came away still able to walk, still being able to plan on a full, smiling life....and this is one of those mornings I just needed to talk about it and express, in writing, and to you, what I express to GOD every single day. We all pray for their full recovery and we all pray for their mom and dad and sisters.

The ONLY place my daughter and son-in-law could have gotten their stainless steel strength is from the ALMIGHTY.

My heart is full....<><

***************************************

As we enter into this blessed time of year, CHRISTMAS, we will pray and thank GOD for all the blessings and love HE has bestowed upon us....to give us the gift of these two young men that are loved beyond any words, and to bless them with recovery from serious accidents is so awesome, I can't even write about it without bursting into tears. I am so grateful and so thankful and just can't find enough words to express my gratitude....I am so glad GOD knows what is in my heart because all i can say is.....

...THANK YOU, GOD.
