Monday

This picture was e-mailed to me by a friend. It was part of an e-mail regarding that fact that 86% of the population of the United States believe in God and how come our Government is bending over for the 14% that don't. However, it was to me, a kind of a divine sign to get this just last night!

You see my wife and her brothers went to the hospital today for the meeting with their mothers doctors to face the grim reality that their mother may not pull through. When they got there all were surprised that mom was awake from the coma and was responding to commands from the nurses! If this is not a miracle I don't know what is! The fact that just yesterday the doctors were talking to my wife about pulling the plug on her and today she comes around?


This is the best Christmas present we will receive this year. My wife is kinda bopping around for the first time in a couple of weeks, although she is a little under the weather due to running herself into the ground during this ordeal. But I can see the peace within her, because she now has the opportunity to tell her mother the things she needs to say to her. My wife was given a great big redo in life and I only pray that she uses this.

This does not mean her mom is jumping up and down in her hospital room, this just means that there is now hope when all hope was lost! It will most likely be a long road ahead but just the fact that she is responding and knows who is talking to her is just wonderful news!

I know there a quite a few people who do not believe in God. Maybe they feel that God is responsible for their miserable lives, or he is the reason that they can't seem to get ahead in life. To them all I can say is that maybe they are getting their inner will confused with God's will.

I also had to learn this the hard way and I found that when I inflict my will into the world around me things do not evolve very well. But when I just pray in the morning and ask God to show me I have a lot less stress. Yes I am still making the decisions and yes I do too make mistakes, the difference is that I don't feel like I am making all these decisions myself. I know this sounds confusing but it works for me. I can now take a step back from the situation and asses the proper way to handle it. Some times it doesn't work out but about 90% of the time it does.

I don't want anyone to believe I am a religious fanatic, I don't even go to church that often. I just believe that a power greater than us all exists and I happen to call him God. If you don't believe me just watch the birds flying, listen to the leaves rustling through the trees, or just take in a beautiful sunset sometime and let me know where you believe these come from.

But for now I will ask my God to watch over you just as he watches over me and my family.

May God Bless Everyone,

Mike

P.S. The little princess has made contact with a couple of her uncles. They advised her to come into the hospital to see her grandmother and then turn herself into the authorities, I agree that this would be the right thing to do. I knows she is scared about what the consequences will be for her actions but she needs to face them and move on with her life unfortunately for her she will no doubt be visited from this wreckage of her past for some time to come. We are both glad that she is all right and if you happen to read this Jen "We really do love you! We just can't stand you right now!" Someday you will appreciate where your mother and I are coming from.
