When life gives you lemons, make a pot of sunshine!

This has been quite a day. My Mama went to the cardiologist yesterday for some tests but really expected it to be nothing. Well it turned out that she failed her stress test. While she was on the treadmill there at the doctor's office, the doctor noticed that the top part of her heart was not functioning. So she was scheduled for an arteriogram and stints to be placed on Tuesday (today). She was shocked and so were the rest of us! The procedure started at around 2:50 and was suppose to last about 30 minutes. It ended up taking about an hour. But guess what! No blockage, no abnormalities, just a "perfect" heart. That was the doctor's word for her heart, PERFECT. Now everyone was shocked again. How could everything yesterday be so out of whack in her little heart and today be perfect? I sat there for about an hour praying and thinking and wondering how this could be. And then a peace came over me. How could this be that her heart is now "perfect". I can totally answer that. God. I know that my Mama was covered in prayer. I know the doctor and staff were covered in prayer. I know that my Mama was in God's hands. He is the Great Physician. He healed my Mama's heart.

I know there are people who will say that maybe she just had a bad test the day before. Well, she had 2 tests a week ago and failed those too. God can do anything. God is still performing miracles. I see them every day. And I witnessed another great one today.

But let me tell you the greatest thing of all. My Mama had a perfect heart before the doctor told us what the arteriogram revealed. She is the kind of person who puts herself on the bottom of the list. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is ok and taken care of. She will pray for you always. She loves the way God has told us to love. She is a hard worker so that she can give her money to those who need it. My Mama is amazing. I love her.



Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28
