Alec & Mia's Special Miracle

Wednesday evening I stayed home from church with Alec and Mia, since Mia had been sick all day. I think we were all feeling a little downhearted (Phil & Bobby had left for Ohio in the afternoon) and Alec started crying for his daddy & mommy, and to go home. As his crying intensified and the usual comforting wasn't working, I sensed an anger in him toward the whole situation. It was heartbreaking when I said, "Alec, let's just pray about it," and he cried out, "It DOESN'T work!" I pled with God to help me as I tried to explain to him that prayer does work. I had been reading in Acts 19 and in a break in our talking, I resumed reading where I had left off. Verse 11....And God wrought special miracles....those words really hit me and I said, "Alec, THIS is what we need...a SPECIAL MIRACLE for Baby Nick. Let's pray for a special miracle!" Alec and Mia were all in agreement with that and together we asked God for a special miracle for Baby Nick, so the family could be together again and for a special miracle for Alec and Mia, so they wouldn't be so sad. Their little hearts seemed lighter and more hopeful right away. Awed and overwhelmed are just a couple of the words to describe the feelings we had when Rob's called the next day to say that Baby Nick was going to be coming home today!!! To think that God cared enough about a little boy's faith in Him to give him this SPECIAL MIRACLE!! There's been a lot of praising the Lord going on here and I'm sure the praises are echoing in a lot of other homes, too. Thanks so much for your prayers for Alec and Mia while they were here. We have enjoyed having them here, but are SO happy for them that they can go home with their family again. Rob's should be arriving home before long now and Alec & Mia are packed and READY to go!
