There Are Miracles Everyday

It started out as a pretty normal day at the hospital cafeteria where I work. Then, it began to get somewhat stressful as the day wore on. The manager was on my back, people acted like they were the boss, and I ended up meeting someone who, tried to commit suicide 2 weeks back. He is the son of one of the nurses there. Looking at him, I thought, 'wow. he's still here. there must be a reason for that.' I felt almost out of my body, like just having this knowledge about what had almost happened but didn't, felt really surreal. Well, closer to the end of my shift, I see these three teenagers walk in from the blizzard(one of them was the grand-daughter of the lady I work with), and they had a man with them who had a guide-dog with him. The girl that was working behind the grill today came up to me and asked if I knew the story of "that man over there" ? I reply "no." She proceeded to explain that he was a patient at this very hospital two years ago and that at that time he was on his death bed. He, (which they referred to as 'Blind-Bob') couldn't see since 1989..just blackness. And two years ago, he had cancer...spread throughout all his vital organs. He told the doctor that he wanted to die at home..not hospice. He was to leave this Earth at any time. He goes home, and the very next day, he can SEE out of one eye. He can get UP and walk his guide dog. He is Healed from GOD. JUST LIKE THAT. I'm standing there in complete awe, telling her, thank you for sharing that with me. A couple moments later, I hear a voice in my head saying, "Go over there." I had to meet him. I walk up as he turns around, and I see him and his one open eye, extend my hand, and say, "Hi I'm Elizabeth." He says "Hi, I'm Bob used to be known as "Blind Bob". And he starts telling me his own version of what had happened. He tells me his dog's name is "Hutch" he says, "from Starsky & Hutch".. (I didn't realize until later that that is my mom's favorite show-and that Hutch is her favorite as well). I give Hutch a hug and he does the same while "kissing my face. The whole time I'm talking to Bob, I feel something squeezing my right arm.. I did not feel alone. I felt like Bob could see my soul and That I could see Bob's. When he was telling me the first time that he could see, and saw lights and colors for the first time in almost 20 years, he was choking up with emotion that still from the fact that it was indeed a Miracle. He said the doctors said he's not supposed to be here, That he is a miracle. Bob said that everyone he meets, he shares his story. He mentioned that he was not a 'firm' believer in God or Miracles. There was prayer group, he said, that was praying for him, and he thought he was dead..when he could get up and walk, and could see, and was HEALED..by the Hands of GOD. There was a reason that I met Bob, and that he shared his story with me. There was a reason that Bob was healed and that he can share his story with everyone. And there is a reason You are reading this now. It is so that we can give all Praise and Glory to God... and Spread the Word of God. And that, YES, There are Miracles Everyday. ~Beth~ 3/9/2010
