Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






The memories of this event are so vivid that I can recount them exactly as they happened.

When I was about 14, I heard a big commotion in my parents' bedroom. I ran in to find Mom on the floor, and Dad holding her. I looked at Mom's face and one whole side of it looked as though it had melted. She couldn't speak and her whole side was paralyzed. Dad, who was trained in First Aid, knew instantly that Mom had suffered a stroke, even though she was only 39 years old. There was no 911 in those days, so he drove her to the hospital, leaving me in charge of the other five children.

The Hospital confirmed Dad's initial diagnosis, and commended him upon his quick response to the emergency. He came home extremely distressed, wondering if this was going to be the end of his life as he knew it. He took me aside and detailed the WORST CASE SCENARIO, that I would possibly end up being the caregiver for Mom and my five younger siblings. Meanwhile. Mom lay in a hospital bed with aphasia and hemiparesis, and had a silent conversation with God.

"I can't be paralyzed!" she prayed."I got SIX KIDS! WHO'S gonna take care of them? I have to go HOME! They NEED me!"

Then she bargained. "Lord, if You get me through this, I'll be the best mother ever. I will teach my kids to believe in You, and make You the center of our lives."

A week later, Mom came home, after not getting any Therapy in the hospital, started just being "Mom" again, but she kept her promise and brought us up in the Christian Faith.

Years later, Mom had an MRI of her brain to diagnose something unrelated, and she remarked to the doctor that she had a stroke when she was 39. The doctor said that was impossible because there was no lesion or scar on the brain which would indicate that a stroke had taken place. He insisted that Mom never had a stroke, but Mom knew better. She boldly told the doctor her story, and he shrugged and said:

"Well, I guess that was a MIRACLE."

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance..” Psalm 33 NASB

God Bless America!
