And the tree, what a miracle. It was there as long as it was needed. I think I'm just going to sit here and read this post a couple more times because there's just so much to get out of it! And what a blessing to have your relationship with your father healed and to know that you will spend eternity with him!<br />Blessings,<br />~ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697110369952312067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-45493416567994555942011-09-21T20:20:41.606-07:002011-09-21T20:20:41.606-07:00Precious, precious!

It blessed me so much; I can't wait to read it to my husband and share it with my friends.<br /><br />I have a bloggy friend, Anne Conder, who started a Friday link-up, recently, called "Pages in Your Heritage of Faith." I'd like to encourage you to link up this (or any post about your faith) on Friday. http://iliveinanantbed.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Satan doesn't want us to use our voices, but we have such important stories to tell both this and future generations!<br /><br />Thank you, again, for this post.

I am so thankful you shared this again with me and so many others. My heart ached as I empathized with your telling of your relationship with your dad, so much like my own, though the circumstances were different. There is no healing other than what God can provide if we are only willing to ask and accept that precious gift.

What I mea...Oh dear.. that sounded a bit obnoxious! What I meant to say (forgive me if my brain isn't functioning too well) is that I've had a few miracles of my own which were to build that faith I guess and later on God used that faith to build others' faith through my own testimonies..much as yours is doing now, though as a popular 80's rapper would sing "I can't touch this" :)<br /><br />God bless you my friend!Lisa Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357560782423451224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254066980782889853.post-6079522680279802002011-09-20T08:02:15.013-07:002011-09-20T08:02:15.013-07:00Oh Kristin1 What a beautiful and powerful testimon...Oh Kristin1 What a beautiful and powerful testimony! Thank you for sharing this.. I can see why Greg was moved at it. God is indeed faithful to hear our prayers, even if He doesn't always answer the way we want Him to.<br /><br />I have had a few miracles of my own.. I guess, like yours, they were for others. My own faith in Him is unshakeable. There are times I feel like Job, being tested and pruned, but ultimately what He placed inside my heart is there to stay.<br /><br />Praise God for the mighty works He does!<br /><br />Love<br />LiseLisa Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357560782423451224noreply@blogger.com
