MY OWN PERSONAL MIRACLE
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:57 am
In 1959 I had been in the Military for 11 years and I was on a thirty day leave to visit my family. I had met with a group of men that day and was on my way back home to be with my wife and family. When I drove to the front of my home I was about to enter the driveway of my home when I saw a large oil spill. I didn't want to get the oil on my tires so I said a few bad words and then went to investigate where that oil might have come from, like transmision, rearend, engine, and so on. However, when I reached the spot where the oil was, I discovered to my dismay that it was not oil at all; it was blood.
The next door neighbor came out of his house and told my my 2 year old daughter had been run over with a car right in my driveway, which I wont take the time to explain.
I rushed down to the hospital and it shocked my senses. My little girl lay comotose on her bed and the bed was covered with blood. She had a punchured lung, kidney, shattered spline, punchured daiphram, and a sever concusion where part of the brain was exposed.
Later that night the doctor came into the chapel where I had gone to pray and said; "Sir; If you are a religious man you had better call the priest."
I retrieved the phone number for the LDS church in Martinez, CA and was lucky enough to catch the bishop. I told him the story and he and another man came down to the hospital to bless my little girl after the doctors had given up on her.
After the bishop had seen my little girl he said to me. Brother *(*O)(*, I will not give your daughter a blessing tonight. We will fast until tomorrow evening to ask the Lord what HE would have us do. We will bless your girl that she might live through the night.
I was more than a little shocked to hear them bless my daughter and tell her that she would sleep and would live through the night. However, that is exactly what happened. She survived the night and even her bleeding had slowed down.
The following evening the same two men came in and gave my little girl a blessing, and that was the first time I ever felt the influence of the Holy Spirit. I wont go into what they promised her but I will say that every thing they promised her came true.
She is a mother of 4 children herself now even though she was never supposed to ever have any children.
I'm not saying that she just jumped out of bed and started dancing, that was certainly not the case. She was in the hospital, or in and out of the hospital for over a year. The doctors were waiting for her to become strong enough for them to operate on her and remove her right kidney and repair some other parts of her anotomy that had been injured.
My daughter made medical history because it was the first time that a kidney lay dormant for over a year and then begin working again all by itself.
That was my time to become as active as I could in the Church of Jesus Christ. And I thank my God still for the testimony it has given others in my family.
