This mind uplifting testimony will
inspire you and keep you on track.An eight-year-old child heard her parents
talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and
they had no money left. They were moving to a smaller house because they could
not afford to stay in the present house after paying the doctor's bills. Only a
very costly surgery could save him now and there was no one to loan them the
money.
When she heard her daddy say to her
tearful mother with whispered desperation, 'Only a miracle can save him now',
the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank from its hiding
place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it
carefully.
Clutching the precious piggy bank
tightly, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the local
drugstore. She took a quarter from her bank and placed it on the glass counter.
"And what do you want?"
asked the pharmacist. "It's for my little brother," the girl answered
back. "He's really very sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"I beg your pardon?" said
the pharmacist.
"His name is Andrew and he has
something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save
him. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here,
child. I'm sorry," the pharmacist said, smiling sadly at the little girl.
"Listen, I have the money to
pay for it. If it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how
much it costs."
In the shop was a well-dressed
customer. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a
miracle does you brother need?"
"I don't know," she
replied with her eyes welling up. "He's really sick and mommy says he
needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought my
savings".
"How much do you have?"
asked the man.
"One dollar and eleven cents;
but I can try and get some more", she answered barely audibly.
"Well, what a
coincidence," smiled the man, "A dollar and eleven cents - the exact
price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took her money in one hand and
held her hand with the other. He said, "Take me to where you live. I want
to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of
miracle you need."
That well-dressed man was Dr
Carlton Armstrong, a neurosurgeon. The operation was completed without charge
and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again and doing well.
"That surgery," her mom
whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have
cost."
The little girl smiled. She knew
exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the
faith of a little child.
Perseverance can make miracles
happen! Miracle can come in various forms - as a doctor, as a lawyer, as a
teacher, as a police and many others.
A river cannot cuts the rock not
because of it's power, but because of it's consistency.
Never lose your hope; keep talking
& keep walking towards your vision"
