On November 9, 2012, my life could have and without Divine intervention would have ended.  There were 3 clots in a critical part of my brain, and yet today I live and have only limited and temporary loss in my speech center.  To say that my survival is a miracle is the absolute truth, but in retrospect I realize now that it was truly the result of a series of miracles all orchestrated by the hand of the Lord.  Too many things came together at the right time and place and in the right way for the credit to be laid at any other doorstep than His.  Yes there were excellent and caring doctors and nurses as well as the prayers of my family and the friends with whom I am blessed, but then that’s His work too.  Saying “Thank you, Jesus” seems hardly enough, but it will be said every day of the rest of my life.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.  ~Psalm 118:24
