The power of prayer is overwhelming. I have witnessed it's strength by seeing a miracle happen yesterday. This was not the miracle that many Christians gather together at this time of year to eulogize, yet I feel certain that a divine presence had a hand in this, and I am ever so thankful for the people who pray for the wellbeing of others. My youngest stepson, Simon, was returning home for the holidays on a busy, raining, thundering and gusty windstorm strewn interstate. His car hyroplaned.....he lost control and the car ran off the highway and into a tree. A passing motorist in the other lane saw the accident and turned around to help. Our son was unconscious and came to, only to remember his name and our telephone number. The young man who stopped to help coincidentally turned out to be one of my daughter's old high school chums, and immediately recognized the telephone number. It startled him because he was from our town, and was unaware of the relationship between her and our youngest because of the difference in their ages and their different last names. He called me on his cell phone, and stayed with Simon as the paramedics arrived and accompanied him to the nearest hospital. They were 70 miles away from home. My daughter, who was at work 120 miles away at the time that her stepbrother's car hit the tree, said she looked out the window, saw the wind lift a garbage can off the ground and smash it into a fence, and she said she felt a strange feeling come over her. She told me that this feeling prompted her to say a prayer for everyone's safety. She didn't know that Simon was traveling home at that time. Simon survived, with only unconsciousness and a very nasty wound to his head to count as his injuries. He was alone and there were no other vehicles involved. Thankfully he was wearing his seatbelt. The car, by the way, was completely SPLIT IN TWO by the tree. That is my miracle, and I am ever so thankful for the power of prayer and a most divine intervention. My tears of relief, thankfulness and joy have been plentiful. May each and every one of you be as blessed, today and always. May all of you who are traveling to share the holidays with family and loved ones, be safe. Those are my prayers, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
