This topic could have been called a lot of things.

"Nothing is Impossible for God!"
"God is All Powerful!"
"Miraculous Sign!"
"Prayer Answered!"

etc....

Before you get your hopes up, it is NOT about my marriage, although "God only knows."

As I believe I posted a few weeks ago, my FIL is very, very sick. He is not a believer though he was raised Episcaplian(sp), he chose not to follow when he married. His deceased W (Marie's Mom) stopped her Catholic faith at the same time. Hence why Marie is unforgiving, etc.

As soon as I found out he was sick, I started saying a Rosary for his spiritual and physical health every day. Three weeks after getting ill and his Dr. not finding the cause, he finally came up to NYC. (That's where Marie gets her stubbornness.) Anyway, when he was admitted to NY Hospital he had lost a lot of weight, fluids and blood. He was very close to dying. So I prayed that he would find God again. I wanted to know he would be in Heaven when his daughter, Marie, gets there. With my coming back to the Lord, I felt I should talk to him. But with the problems with religion, Marie and I right now, that would be difficult. After my sins against God and the M, I cannot be an effective witness. So, during my prayers I asked for God to place Godly people in my FIL's life to bring him back to God.

Today, before leaving work late (I had a class), I called Marie to let her know I was leaving. She told me that her Dad was out of the hospital. In fact, he was playing tennis. He has Hotchkins Lymphoma(sp). PTL, he is feeling better and healthy; don't know his chances or time frame, but it's at least a couple of years.

\o/ PRAISE THE LORD \o/
Halleluia!
God is GREAT! God is MANIFICENT! God is ALMIGHTY!


Sorry for the suspense. Marie tells me that he has a very nice visiting nurse. She comes every day to take care of his medical needs. SHE IS A NUN!

\o/ PTL PTL PTL \o/
I asked God to bring godly people into his life, AND HE DID! I told Him I felt I couldn't be an affective witness, AND HE HEARD AND ANSWERED ME.
My FIL is having a Catholic woman helping him everyday.


God is Wonderful! God is Amazing!

GOD CAN DO
A N Y T H I N G ! ! !


Just remind me of this when I am down.

God bless,

I wanted to add...

On the car ride home tonight, I cried almost the entire way. These were tears of joy, wonder, honor to my God.
I practically shouted a Rosary on the way, praising Him for His wonderous deed towards my FIL.

Praise Our Father in Heaven!

Well, you wanted a "sign" that He was there, and that He hears you...........

A point I'm learning:
The closer you stay to Him, the more you hear HIS voice, and the more He hears your prayers....
