Miracles

I don't want to forget this story....

Went for a pedicure last week and this story from Xandra - We were talking about miracles and she says "i've got one that happened to me"

She had a tree that she always put up at Christmas....through the years she and her hubby had collected hand blown glass ornaments for that tree.  She said it was beautiful.

They got a new kitten.  It was Christmas and she was in her room, getting ready for work.  She heard a crash.  She ran to the living room and sure enough, the kitten had climbed the tree and turned it over.  Every single ornament was crushed....glass shards everywhere - in the carpet, the couch.  They got it all cleaned up and she decided she wasn't going to put up a tree that year.  She was so sad because her collection had been destroyed.

Fast forward a couple of weeks.  She and her hubby were looking for something...i can't remember what but it had to do with building something - like old windows or something.  Anyway, she saw them listed at a lady's house and they went.  When they arrived, they realized it was an estate sale and there were people EVERYwhere.  They found what they went looking for and as they were trying to find where to pay, the owner of the house came up to them - never have seen this lady before.  In talking to her, found out they were from Switzerland - had come to live in the states but missed home, so they were selling their things, their home and moving back.  This lady says to them "i have something i am suppose to give you" - and they were like "give us?  What is it?" and she told them she would be back in a minute.  Here she comes with a big box....and she hands it to them.  They asked to pay for whatever it was, but she said "no, i am suppose to give this to you".  Well, they got home and put the box down in the garage and really forgot about it a couple of days.  But then her husband asks her to go through the box because he's cleaning out the things stacked up in the garage. She figured it was junk.....couldn't imagine what in the world the lady would be giving them....or WHY.  She opened the box and it was covered with tissue paper....things were wrapped in tissue.  The box was full and nothing put HAND BLOWN Christmas ornaments....Swiss ones...expensive ones....far more expensive than the ones the kitten had broken.  She told me it was her miracle.  And i believe in my heart it WAS!!

God still works his magic day by day....i mean i look at the sunsets....i see my newborn great granddaughter - she's perfect and precious....i breathe in....HIS majesty.  I love this expression of His love.
