OUCH!   Have you ever had your hand slammed in a car door?   Some of us have!   You don’t readily forget it! 

In the heartland of rural American farm life, you can incur many forms of injury!  Usually not to major if you keep your wits about you.  

On one occasion, the day was very windy, and the person put their hand on the top of the truck to reach down; the wind took the door and the thumb was severed!   It was still there, but the injury was grave, the skin was holding the thumb.   The party had to drive themselves to town to the hospital.    On call was a doctor specializing in joint surgery.   The thumb was his ‘specialty’!   He took the opportunity to teach the doctors how to re-affix the thumb.   The thumb was successfully re-attatched, and the party has full use of the thumb.   God is everywhere. 

 The Mother was in labor and having a most difficult time.   She was rushed to the hospital.   The baby was in trauma!   Prayers were being sent up by the family.    The baby died, but was resuscitated.   The baby was dead six minutes, and the fear of the family was she would be disabled. (not normal as we know normal to be.)    She  was born ‘spina bifida’ and is in the top three percent of the University in which she attended!  She graduated with honors and  She was elected to go onto ‘Harvard’ for graduate work!   God is present, and God is working!  She is very very spiritual, and gifted!

She was in a coma, and there were no answers.   She was taken to a hospital in Fargo, ND where a renown doctor was visiting, and diagosed the disease to be encephalis.   The parents were given the word, that she would not live through the night!    The prayers were sent up.   She made it through the night.   The coma lasted one month.      She did not speak for a month.   Though she had to be taught all over again, she lived!   God is Good!  God is present and God is working!  The personality of the child changed, and the spirituality of her today is constant, and ever present.  

God is working!    God is present!    God decides!    When obsticals come our way, and life is difficult, we can choose to betray God, or we can choose to trust God.    God answers are not always the ones we want to hear, but He does answer!    Whether we choose to believe of disbelieve, is  up to each of us!   I can tell you, it is a miracle to believe!   It is easy to say it is a coincidence, or a fluke!   

What does it take for one to  want to experience the Love Of God?  

We must want to believe!    I tell you this:    There are some who have indeed seen heaven, and profess this outwardly, only to find people scoff at their experience.

To experience the manifestation of great love, we must want it, search for it, and crave it!   If we do, and we persevere in our journey, the most astounding of thing happens, we find that faith we so thirsted for.  

 Jesus speaks int he Book of John: Chapter 7 verses 37-38

37)On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out:

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me; let him drink 38)who believes in me.   Scripture has it:’ From within him rivers of living water shall flow.'”
