A Miracle!

I have witnessed a miracle. Not just the sun coming up or a beautiful rainbow after a storm or the birth of a baby (which is really amazing) but a true, out of the ordinary, not happening every day, honest to God miracle.


5 months ago a friend of ours was in the hospital with a massive heart problem, not eating, on oxygen and basically waiting for the medical professional to unplug him so that he could die peacefully.

Hospice was in place and ready to be at home with him if needed, his wife knew the end was near, our home group was praying for him and the thought process was "how can we best support his wife after his death."

Several of us visited him in the hospital and asked what we could do. Her only answer each time was "pray, only a miracle will help him now."

Six weeks ago he walks into church on Sunday morning under his own power. No walker, no cane, no help. He lost approximately 60 pounds and looks great. Without a single doubt in my mind, that was a miracle.

During the 2010 holiday season, enjoy your friends and family, indulge in a (little) extra desert, then add 5 minutes to your work-out, and make the most out of the time you have. It's really never enough.

Get help with an unpaid job

This morning on a news show, I heard a woman say that she agreed to the "job" as executor of an estate for a very dear friend of hers.


How interesting, and true. However, this job usually takes several months, if not a year or more, you don't get paid, and you have to squeeze it in between your real job and life.

We understand the time it takes to close and estate, and we understand the frustration of not knowing where to start or what to do.

During this holiday season, allow us to take the burden of closing the estate. We know firsthand what it's like to lose a loved one during this time. The season should be a time to enjoy family and friends, share meals, open gifts and remember a wonderful life.

Happy Holidays.
