Christmas Miracles

Having spent the majority of the holiday season knee-deep in shopping and wrapping, it seems as though the true meaning of Christmas has taken a backseat.  I'm guessing this is true of most families.  Its easy to become distracted by the commercialism and forget 'the reason for the season'. 

I came across a news story that gave me a case of the warm-fuzzies.  With all the talk of Obama's healthcare plans, continued trouble in the Middle East, flu updates, financial woes and how the retail industry is faring in our precarious economy, its rather refreshing to read a story like this: CLICK HERE

Now, you can say whatever you want about this story, make whatever excuses you want about how a woman clinically dead delivered a dead baby and returned to the land of the living but the bottom line is that even the doctors are stunned and that tells me modern medicine had less to do with the mother and baby being revived and more to do with the hand of God.  This story reminds me of what Christmas is all about, a time of faith and hope and miracles.

And let me just add a little quote from the Book of Matthew:

"Jesus...said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."  Matthew 19:26

So there you have it.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
