A year of grace

A year ago today I was heading for my second brain surgery this time at UCLA a long way from home but thank goodness my wife and daughter were with me. The day before two miracles occured. I had been invited to this church in Norman, Okla to meet some people from the,Los Angeles area whose church wanted to pray for me while I was in the UCLA area. It just so happened that the pastor of that church was present and I met him and made arrangements to visit their church before surgery. Sunday we rented a car and visited and had the deacons pray over me; that was so comforting to have a local church praying for you It was a special time. That afternoon my wife lost her cell phone which was to be our main means of communicating to everyone. Early the next day it was found by a kind soul who scrolled through the contacts and happened to dial my office manager who told him my hotel and he brought the phone to us. What a Godsend and a complete reassurance that if the Lord cared about our cell phone and communication and arranged a church there how could I be concerned about the surgery. It was so comforting to feel the hand of the Lord on your shoulder. This year has been the greatest learning year of my life in spiritual battles. Praise the Lord reguardless.
