God performs many miracles, and I’m thankful for each and every one of them. One of the many recent miracles to take place that left me thankful involved God using the not so good things in order to save my earthly father. Now, it’s not too long of a story. So, hopefully you’ll find the heart to stick around.
My dad had been to the hospital early that morning with an irregular heart beat but was sent home. That same day, I was home sick. I was actually home with strep throat. It’s also important that you know that my mom was an hour away from home at the time.
It was around 1:30 when my dad got up from the sofa to go put some dishes in the sink. I was sitting in the room he’d just left. Suddenly I heard a loud thump in the kitchen, as well as the sound of the bowl and spoon hitting the kitchen floor.
I called out to my dad to see if he was alright. When he didn’t respond I made my way quickly to the kitchen. When I saw him on the floor my first thought was “he’s dead.” But as soon as that thought took place he started to respond as I continued to call his name. I called 911 and the ambulance took us both to the hospital.
The thing I want you to get from this story is that God can use the down moments in life, in this case being me having strep throat, in order to do extremely good things. Just think, if I’d been at school then who would have called 911? How long would my dad have been on that floor? So just remember to rejoice God throughout each and every circumstance and know that He will always be there.
