The smallest of miracles has occured, but something small can mean all the difference.
My H is looking at himself and trying to repair damage to all of his relationships, (not our M yet but i still have hope for that)!!!
Im sure that the Lord is answering our prayers and i thank all of you here who have prayed with me *S*
He has also thanked me for some help i gave him over the weekend - **WOW** i cannot remember the last time he said thankyou to me, i almost cried!!<p>Lord, you surely are great and i thank you for these signs. My hope and love remains as strong as ever, through the good and the bad and i pray that you continue to touch my H's heart. I pray also for all of the good people who are here in need of your help, touch their lives in similar ways, give them some little sign that you are listening to their prayers.
I thank you once again Lord.
amen

Shinobi, yes miracles do still happen. I have missed many along the way because I was looking for that one big miracle. I can now see the small ones as well as some big ones. I think its a big miracle for many of us here to still love our mates and actually want our marriages restored after what we have been thru. Thats really finding the love of Jesus in our hearts. The world absolutly hates that. Forgivness seems forgotten even among Gods own children.
God is the giver of life and the restorer of broken marriages. May we learn to trust Him more each day with our situations. God is able to do immeasurably more than what we hope for or imagine. When we stand for the restoration of our marriages, we live the gospel of Jesus Christ. May our examples drown out the other gospels being preached today.

shinobi <p>Thank you for sharing your miracle. I have done hours of reading on this board and value much of the advice to be found here, but each time I look for the encouragement I find in a post like yours. With you, I thank the Lord for his faithfulness to your prayers. The Lord is good and listens to the prayers of a praying wife. Your stand is a testimony to others that prayers are answered. I understand how the simple words, "thank you" can mean so much. Praise the Lord he is good. <p>I too have been standing. Satan had turned my heart for a season, but God in his mercy brought me back into a wonderful personal relationship with him. I made my stand last summer, 2001. With each passing day, things only appeared to be getting worse. Finally, my wife filed for divorce on January 11th this year. Our Lord called me to continue my stand regardless of the outward circumstances. <p>Last evening, my wife told me that she is thinking of stopping the divorce and going to counseling. Praise the Lord, \o/ he answered prayer when it seems that the death of my marriage was all my wife could see. Yes, the answerer to my prayer is a miracle, but there is more, stopping the divorce and going to counseling is so much a 180 for my wife that only our Lord could have changed her heart enough to allow her to consider saving our marriage. <p>Thank you again for sharing with us. I will pray that God will continue the good work he has started in you and your husband.

Richard K,<p>How wonderful !
What good news that is for you. I will pray for you and for your W and keep you both in my thoughts. I also would like to thank you for praying for my husband and i, for we surely need lots of prayers.
It is almost always at times when we feel like giving up that the Lord opens our hearts once again. He gives us small signs that standing for our marriages is his will. And sometimes he gives us very big signs. My husband isn't really an open person, never really says thankyou, so for me those words mean a great deal. It truly is a sign that the Lord can work miracles, that he is watching over us.
Your W's 180 degree turn is a wonderful sign for your marriage. I pray that Jesus continues to touch her heart and keep her open to the counselling that you both need. I also pray that she continues to put the idea of divorce behind her. (How that must break your heart Richard !)
And i pray for you, that the Lord helps your heart heal over time, that the Lord takes away any feelings of resentment you may have. I pray that you both find the couselling you need to help rebuild your future together.
Lord, please protect RichardK and his W, please open their hearts to reconciliation with each other, especially richards W. In Richards times of need, be a comfort to him, for surely there will be times when he needs to feel your love and strength. Lord, let this be the beginning of healing for Richard and his W.
Thankyou Lord
Amen<p>Steph
