Often, it is hard to see a Miracle,

Not because Miracles are rare,

But because they are So Numerous.

Also! Let us not forget that there is more to the story. Which I find hard to believe it Is not shown on this Paper's website.

I have been reading this story from different websites for years. I truly believe this true. But some times some aspects are left out. Just like when you or I tell a story we might forget some things.

Number one is the power and anointing of prayers.

Why would I bring this up ?

As Paul Harvey would say Now the Rest of The Story.

When you read it completely you will realize that before he died he mocked a woman of faith. She wanted to learn about Art. She was in his class. She was verbally abused by Mr. Storm. He told her if mention anything about faith outside of Art, he would fail her. They made a agreement. But he still abused words toward her.

Well she left that class and prayed for this man with her friends for years. She was so concerned for this man's soul. She Never let up on the prayers. Seeing the results before it happened.

He went back to her to apologize as a Christian. She pointed out why what took you so long. Lol! What faith this woman!

It does not matter who as a Christian who prayers for others but this woman was a Catholic nun. A sister devoted to prayer.

Pray! Pray! Pray for All!!!

Do No Let Up on Pray!!!

What a Glorious example of Prayers offered for others.

A Humble or Contrite Heart He will Not Ignore!!

What a humble woman of faith has done.

Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 46

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

Praise Jesus!!!

TRUE. TRUE.

Along with some folks’ compulsions to rationalize away anything supernatural.

“Jesus!” God says.

“Yes”

” What is THAT?”

” That—oh, that is just Laz.”

” And how did that, that thing, come into My universe?”

” You know.”

” Humor me. Believe me, if I made that, I would certainly remember.”

” Yes, you would. Well, I had some spare parts and was just fooling around in the shop, and well, made the Laz prototype.”

“Jesus, you know that I love you, but whatever that thing is, it cannot stay here.”

” OK, Father.I know where I will send him.”

” Choose wisely. Where is that?”

” FREEREPUBLIC”

” All I can say is, may I have mercy on the Freepers!”

Let’s hope the lightning rods on both our homes is in working order.

Pray! Pray! Pray for All!!! Do No Let Up on Pray!!!

This is an excellent point and one often overlooked by so many christians. Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies and "those who hate us".

“As long as we’re being snarky, “pretty vestments” and all . . “

That’s worth another look at nasty chasibles.
