Dear God,

How do miracles happen?  

Throughout the years I have wanted a miracle for my sister who has suffered many painful events in her life but none worse than the killing of her son in a deliberate fire set by his troubled teenager.  I thought Debi would never survive.

Today in a phone call she said she was planning to sew again, already had purchased some supplies and was ready to begin following her surgery.  You and I both know that is a miracle.  Debi is a fine seamstress and has sewn for decades but following the death of her son a few years ago she simply stopped.  She could not do her favorite thing anymore.  But today was a new day, a day filled with hope and promise, a miracle really.

Thank you,

Gracious God,

for the gift

you are giving

my sister.

Thank you

for awakening her

to the possibility

of beginning again.

All praise 

to you,

Holy Father.

Love, Andrea
