that sacred heritage

in the past i have almost envied those who have an incredible life changing story about their conversion. although i lived a life displeasing to God, i was not a crack addict or a rapist or anything like that. and i cannot point out one single time that God "broke through" and my life changed forever, that has happened many times in many ways. in recent days with the failing health of my grandparents someone at my church commented that they had never met my grandparents but from what they had heard i had an incredible christian heritage. now my initial response was a simple "yeah, i guess i do" but i have thought over that a little more now. i realize that the heritage i have is an incredible testimony in itself. throughout this "journey" with my grandma my grandpa has had one single line, calmly and persistently he keeps saying, "the Lord will get us through." now initially i thought he was just being juvinille, i mean she is 81 and is restricted to bed and a wheelchair, and she is constently choking. but last thursday morning, we thought that was it, she literally stopped breathing for 15 seconds, foam comming out of her mouth, then, another breath. by that afternoon she was up in her wheelchair talking and laughing with everyone. that ladies and gentlemen is a miricle. she has had seven different types of cancer and made it through each one, her first heart-attack was before her youngest child was born. i don't say this to puff up my grandma, but to simply say, i am blest with a wonderful heritage, unfortunatly it has taken alot for me to realize that. you ask me why we don't see miricles anymore, i ask you where you are looking. quit trying to "explain" everything away and you will appreciate the awesome God i call daddy.
