Merry Christmas Eve! This last miracle story that I will share with you all is still very emotional for me. About a year before Beckie passed away, sometime in August, I began to pray for a Christmas miracle. It had been several years since we had heard Rebecca’s sweet voice and I prayed for God to let me hear her say, “Mommy,” once again. Every now and again, this prayer would come up and out of me, “Please Lord, let me hear my Baby Girl’s voice again. Let her call to me again.”
Fast forward to Christmas Day, surrounded by family members, my daughter was laying down on a couch as I sat down on the floor next to her side. I looked into her eyes and said, “Come on Beckie, say Mamma… say Mamma. You can do it, just say Mamma.” As she focused on my face with a sweet countenance that must have been God, she opened her mouth and said, “Maa….Maa.” It would be the last words we ever heard her say…. I get emotional not so much because it makes me sad, but because I am still in AWE of my God Who would grant me this beautiful miracle that I still cherish.
Miracles. We can’t explain them. It must be God. But He still creates miracles today. Seek them in your life….
