MIRACLE OF A VOICE!
At age of 22,, I was in Tachikawa Japan,, in the USAF. I was not at my duty station ,, when my best friend came and got me. He said the Red Cross was looking for me.. so, I tore out to the hospital,, I was a Medic,, and a lady named Betty was the director of the RC. I knew they only sent runners out if it was the worse.. and the news was suffocating, for she told me that my dad had been x-rayed and had cancer of the throat and thyroid,, and that there was also a tumor there. He was due surgery in two days, and it looked like from the x-ray that the outcome could be terminal. I was asked if I wanted to return to the states, of course , I replied , yes... The base commander set the works in motion, and I was processed with speed in the evening, and that took some doing.. not knowing that a force was already at work, for if you know the military,, it takes a miracle for Colonels, Majors , Captains, and First Sergeants to come out at a late date, and escort you through the process.. it was indeed already a miracle.. Well , a jet was on hold , just waiting for me,,(miracles unfolding, and yet un-noticed by me) now on the Jet to the U.S. and home. I found my father of 64 ,,, in good spirits , for he was a man of great principles, bravery, and faith in his God. My mom, (name Lilla) as one would expect.. down,, very much... the rest of the family,, brothers and sisters,, also down, for our father was in danger... of a terrible disease, that no one knew anything about , except it caused death...
Dad went into surgery,, for a long , long time. When the operation was over,, the doctors came out,, looking gloom,,, Their message,,, was not bad,,, but not good.. for they told us they got the tumor, it was as big as a large sweet potato, removed the thyroid. they scraped the the throat,, and got the cancer out,,, they hoped, but Dad would never speak again.. and that just was not my dad... We were all crying for the relief of the hopefully gone cancer,, and the idea that my day would never speak, call out our names ,, say the words to my mom or us, that he loved us.. and as we stood in that hallway,, out of the operation room came my dad,, and guess what,, he was not just saying , but he was hollering my moms name,,LILLA,, LILLA, LILLA, I LOVE YOU!!!,, Yes even the doctors mouth was wide open,, and we were dancing in the hallway of miracles for one had just been performed,, my dad was talking, and he did so to his death.. My dad was with out cancer,, and lived to be 84,, and when he died,, he leaned his head over, and for the last time ,, he said with that miracle voice,, "Lilla, I love you!.. and then the went with his God,,, and yes even in this day and time God is very much alive and working on our very own testimonials the miracle of HIS WORDS,,, from out of our own
VOICES!!!
Lord,, thank You for that miracle of that day and the many,many others that you have performed for my family, and I ask that you continue to hear those calling out to You, and I pray that You have mercy upon all who are in need. amen
John HIcks
I am very aware that God has been not only with my family from the time of my remembrance , but continues today,, and lives within us .. and I ask , have you invited Him into your daily life? If asked ,,He will come, and live within You... for an eternity! Just ask!!!
