update on my dad
I spoke with my dad today. His MRI showed that the MS is there, but that it is not progressive. They did discover, however, that he has arthritis on his spine and hip. My dad is now going to a neuron specialist who will then decide what to do next and may recommend an operation. Dad is also needing surgery on his eyes in Novemeber. I am praying for a miracle. Please pray with me.
I was reading (again) "Peace like a River" by Leif Enger. i loved what he wrote regarding miracles:
"Let me say something about that word: miracle. For too long it's been used to characterize things and events that, though pleasant, are entirely normal....a clear sunrise after a an over cast week-- a miracle, people say, as if they've been educate from greeting cards. I'm sorry, but nope. Such things are worth our notice every day of the week, but to call them miracles evaporates the strength of the word.
Real miracles bother people.... It's true: they rebut every rule all we good citizens take comfort in. Lazurus obeying orders and climbing up out of the grave --now there is a miracle, and you can bet it upset a lot of folks who were standing around at the time. When a person dies, the earth is generally unwilling to cough him back up. A MIRACLE CONTRADICTS THE WILL OF THE EARTH."
So God, I pray for my dad, that you would bring about a miracle in his body that goes against all that the doctors are seeing and saying. I pray that his life would be a testimony of the full measure and power of You. You've done it before God, I am asking you would do it again. Amen.
