The Miracle Box

One of my favorites is from Mark 9:17-27. 17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” 19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” 20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he

Hi All, 1 Chronicles 16:8-12 - Give thanks to the Lord and pray to Him. Tell the nations what He has done. Sing to Him; sing praises to Him. Tell about all His miracles. Be glad that you are His; let those who seek the Lord be happy. Depend on the Lord and His strength; always go to Him for help. Remember the miracles He has done, His wonders, and His decisions. Have you ever had a close call with physical danger and somehow you came away safe and unharmed even though it didn't seem possible that you escaped? It wasn't anything you did to save yourself, it was something else? It seems everyone has had an experience like that. Was it just luck, good fortune, fate... or something else? My good friend, Mike and his wife were visiting my wife and I on their way down to Florida for a few months last winter. We've all been friends for more than fifty years and they always stop in South Carolina to stay with us for a few days on their way down from New Jersey. On the second day

  A House Story This story was told to me by good friends who we first met back during our days in Scotland. God has brought us together again more closely in recent years. I'm very thankful for that. They're great people and strong followers of Christ. I'm also inspired and encouraged when I talk with them. Fellowship with other believers does that for us as does sharing our faith experiences. Here's just one example of God's intervention in their lives.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Photo by Phil Hearing on Unsplash In the early 1990’s it was a very bad economy in Massachusetts and my husband, Mike lost his job. In fact, there were four couples in our close group of friends and three of the four guys lost their jobs within weeks of each other. That’s the kind of

            Today's miracle story was shared with me by good friends, Kris and David McBride. It's about their son, Andrew. Kris wrote this piece. It's called: There's Gonna be Big Trouble     When our infant son, Andrew was only ten months old, he was diagnosed with an aggressive leukemia known as AML. Just like that, our normal world of hanging out with other parents, preparing meals, taking the kids to see grandparents, and walks in the neighborhood was replaced with teams of doctors, nurses, blood draws, procedures, and weeks in the hospital.     The doctors only gave Andrew a 25% chance of survival and that was only with a bone marrow transplant. We went from wondering what activities Andrew would enjoy to wondering if he would see his next birthday. My husband, David and I had to hold tight to a couple of anchors for support. One was our faith in God and quite honestly it was our main anchor. The second anchor was to make sure we told Andrew everything that was go
