LOL...Jerry, I accept!

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
