Miracles Happen

It is in our moments of weakness that God shows us His strength.
It is in our darkest hour that God reveals to us His light.
It is in our heartache that God comforts us with His love.
And it is in our suffering that God reminds us of the miracles in this world.

Eleven years ago my dad was diagnosed
 with cancer. The doctors told him that the chances
of him living to be 40 were only 10%.
This February my dad is turning 50.
I can honestly tell you that miracles DO happen.

As I look back I realize that it was in the most difficult times
that God showed us His strength, His love and His hope.
I truly believe it is only by the grace of God
that my dad, my hero, is still with us today.

Each day is filled with many beautiful
miracles from a God who loves us.
Remember this the next time life gets hard
and the suffering is all that you can see.

" Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving
 for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what
is unseen. For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
