Wonderful Life....Yep, It Is A GOOD Life!

In the last couple of weeks , I've had family and friends who are going through real life crisis, pain and suffering of the heart and soul.
Prayers, what I call 911 prayers, real emergency prayers, have been a daily event during this difficult time.
Family members and my prayer partners have been 'on duty' as there appears another 'happening' day after day.
Busy is not the word!
We can not always be bodily present with each other but through electronic instant awareness we are agreeing in prayer at the same time and beseeching God's Miracle change in the life of those we bring before Him.
I am not talking about clogging our Inbox with Fwds: from strangers who need prayer and need 'you to forward this in 5 minutes or your dog will bite you' kind of e-mails.
I'm talking about the kind of immediate response that is sent in the wee hours of the morning when one just happens to be 'reading the Bible' and an e-mail comes in, or on the way to work doing some last minute things just before a much needed vacation, unexpected lost jobs, or in the middle of contract signing that needs additional information, or having two family member die in the same week. These are the kind of 'immediacy' that prayer through the airwaves and phone calls have produced.
Life and death situations that need immediate attention.
That is why I call it 911 HELP prayers!
Having others around us who stay, what I call, 'prayed up' is one of my most wonderful satisfactions of life!
I am truly a Blessed woman and yes, Life is Good.
For we are not in this thing called 'Life' alone.
The resource of people.... loving, caring, people of the faith, family and friends makes it truly a Wonder Life for me....
Yes, we most certainly are 'flawed human beings' who do the best we can on a daily basis BUT we have a 'secret weapon' and He has a name.....Jesus!
Jesus is the God of......Miracles!
Everyone involved in this prayer circle around my life have been witness's of Miracles again and again....so they know of what they ask!
To witness something means to see, to hear or to DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE IT!
In fact , David makes a reference to the 'wayward children of Israel' in
Psalm 78:32 Contemporary English Version (check it out to the right)
where he said...
"Yet even so the people kept on sinning and REFUSED to believe in Miracles!"
.....We prayer partners, people of faith, all bear witness that Miracles truly make it a....Wonderful Life
I recently read this devotion below titled just that....
Wonderful Life....
'Depending on my childhood experiences, I may have grown up feeling that in order to live a holy life, I would have to live a life of rules and restrictions.
I am grateful to be learning that a spiritual life is one of freedom and discovery.
As I continue on my path of spiritual unfoldment,
I find no limit to the joy and wonder of God's ways.
My path is strewn with delightful surprises, as well as challenges that expand my comfort zone and give me more room to grow.
Living a life of spiritual awareness, I find greater meaning in both the monumental events and the smallest details.
Fulfillment, joy, and a deeper understanding are the hallmarks of my wonderful life!"
Acts 2:28 says..."You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of gladness with Your presence."
Do you believe in MirAcles?

Yes, I believe in Miracles. I have seen them happen time and again. Daily life is in itself a miracle.
Again, Dear Mary, you have proven your worth as a writer. You should be published.
Love you,
Betty and Ray
