OK...Jesus did not appear in the flesh to us...but the miracle was evident.
As most of you know who read our blog, or got our request for prayers, know that our friend Mike from church, who has cancer, was very near death one week ago today. Anyone who read our blog, knew that he was prayed over for a miracle. http://sweethomerichards.blogspot.com/2009/02/blessings-miracles.html
I called Debbie on Thursday to see what I could take to them for meals, and she told me that Mike was eating again, but only soft foods that were easy to eat & digest. So, I asked his favorite soup. Split Pea....easy to do, and I happened to have the ingredients. Yahoo! I also made a pot of Cream of Potato, as Debbies favorite soup WAS not split pea!!
Yesterday...Bill & I took over two big pots of soup and some fresh rolls. When we arrived the hopsital bed was no longer in the living room, but had been moved to the kitchen. When we walked in, Mike was sitting up!! His color was back, and he greeted us as we walked in. AMAZING! After talking to Debbie & Mike's son (The one who drove from TX with a 3 day old baby), we found that:
His pneumonia is GONE!
His pain is GONE! (No more morphine needed)
He is able to eat--
His body is digesting and eliminating things properly again--
He was using MUCH less oxygen--
His lung capacity has increased--
His color was back to normal--
He is sleeping in his own bed with his wife at night--
He was SPEAKING!!
What can we say, except:
We do not know the state of which his small cell cancer is at, but I think he goes to the DR this week. We do know that the change this week has been incredible, and that we attribute it all to prayer and miracle.
We do know that we are thankful that he has had this week to coherently visit with family and friends, especially his son from out of state and his family, along with their new baby. Regardless of what is ahead, we have witnessed a true miracle, and feel so blessed to have seen God's power.
We continue to pray for the miracle for Mike--as well as financial stability for them in this difficult time. Debbie has been laid off from her job, and I'm sure though they aren't saying, that things are difficult financially. We pray for peace, and for God's will for them. Until that is totally revealed to us...we will continue to:
AMEN!!! Thanks for your prayers....
