Psalm 80:1-3 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock!

You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth 2 before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your might, and come to save us!

3 Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved.

On October 16, 2015, my family and I received the call no one wants! “Your husband had a bad work accident and is being life-flighted to Halifax.” He had fallen 17 feet from a ladder and had crushed his skull, crushed his pelvis and broke ribs, his shoulder and bones in his back and neck. He had three brain bleeds.

As we sat together in the family room the doctor gave us the bad news that he had 99 percent chance that he would not survive! At that moment I felt a peace come over me and a feeling that everything would be alright. We prayed every hour and had people praying all over the world.

By December 24, he was giving a day pass to spend Christmas with our family. The doctors call him the “miracle man” because they have no scientific how he survived. He is our “Christmas miracle”. God is with us not just through the happy times, but also through he darkest times. When we call to Him he answers.

Prayer: Thank you for always being there for us and hearing our prayers. Because of you, we are never alone. As we celebrate another Christmas may we always remember your gift to us of your precious son. Amen.
