I don’t have a blog of my own, but enjoy reading yours. I love your Gratituesday and wanted to add on one of my own about God answering prayers.
I am nearing the end of a 16 month maternity leave and was praying about the child care for our 3 young children. My husband and I decided it was important to find someone to come to our home to watch the kids. I was praying about it ALOT. I knew He would find THE person for us but I was still a little bit worked up about it. Finally my husband said, “Don’t do anything about it for a week.” Sure enough 5 days later, through a conversation with a woman from our church, we have our sitter! She answers all of our “It would be nice if…” (has had her own kids, but older kids, high school age, live nearby, patient, be a CHRISTIAN.) This situation answers prayers she was sending up, too. I am so thankful that He is faithful to us for everything!

Reading your story about a miracle from God is awe-inspiring and exciting! It’s a good reminder of God’s faithfulness. It is an encouraging word for me to read today.

I knew I’d seen your Gratituesday somewhere and after I wrote my post last night, I thought I needed to find you and join in. Praying God answers in a mighty big way!

I do know what you mean. My dad prayed for 30 years that his mother would humble her pride and become a Christian. 30 years! Then she got cancer. It got to the point where she forbade him to even MENTION accepting the gospel to her. But one woman in our congregation felt a strong compelling (I KNOW by the Holy Spirit) to write to my grandmother (unbeknownst to my dad). On my dad’s next visit, Grandma asked HIM to answer Bible questions and in just a little while my dad got to baptize his mother into Christ! Less than two weeks after that, she went home. God is amazing.

I’m happy for you and do praise God with you. He is good.

Your post is perfect! We don’t need to know the details, it is enough to be reminded that God is faithful to answer our prayers. Even those that we have been praying for years and years. In His time for His will!!

Family situations are often the most difficult– praying for things to happen in people’s hearts and lives is so much more personal when it’s family!
Thank you for the reminder to never give up :)

Our family is going through some very hard times at the moment (me in particular) but this week I have something to be truly grateful for. I’ve written about it on my blog as I’m so proud of my son’s achievements. It is wonderful to read the other stories here and the wonderful scriptures that are bringing such support to my troubled spirit. I hope that God continues to bless each of you and those you love. Please pray that he helps me to find a solution to my problems soon.

Oh, that sounds awesome and exciting for your family! God’s timing is always perfect!

I don’t have a Gratituesday post this week, I had other things to get out, but I am sending my readers over this week anyways. I just know they will be blessed by your testimony- sometimes the details aren’t necessary.
