A lot of friends are staying low in the foxhole.

I don't know how long I will be here, but I was remembering a family devotion my husband did with the kids when they were young.
It was an example about saying goodbye.

My husband told the kids "if I was going away..

My husband said "If I was going away...would the last thing that I told you would be take out the garbage?"

He was talking about Jesus going back to the Father.
The last message Jesus gave His followers was much more important.
Can be found in book of Mark.

"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation".
These signs will follow those who believe...

If I am saying goodbye to you now, I would want to tell you the things that I feel are important.

I was going to talk about Quantum Prayer...but I will do that tomorrow if I am still here.

I feel one of the most important things, is our reassurance of our relationship with God.
Often our own heart condemns us, telling us that we are not good enough. Not perfect enough.
Our relationship with God cannot ever depend on our perfection.
We put on His righteousness.

We accept His Perfection, and put on His robe of Righteousness.
He laid His life down...so we could wear that robe.
He gave up His life freely.
He said, I lay it down... and I can take my life up again.

And then He promised us the Holy Spirit, so that we could have His presence even after He ascended into Heaven.

He said the Holy Spirit would remind us, and teach us.
And comfort us.
He had a perfect plan.
And His plan is still in action.

"Wait" you might say, "I thought signs followed those that believe".
Yes, they still do.
I have a story to tell you.
It is a true story, and I promise to tell it as truthfully as I remember.

Decades ago, when we attended a small country church, my husband got a prayer request on our prayer wave
The woman who called said a little boy, 4 yrs old had been run over by his father's tractor.
The little boy was in serious condition.
My husband asked God if he should go/pray

As soon as he asked God if he should go pray for the boy, he heard the Holy Spirit say, "Go".

Just as he was preparing to go, since the hospital was about 60 miles away in another city, the new youth pastor showed up to our house.

The youth pastor wanted to talk to my husband, so my husband invited him to go to the hospital with him.

After the long drive, and the long wait to see the boy, my husband and Ron went in to pray for the boy.
Family was all around the boy, and my husband asked if he could pray.

He asked the family to hold hands and he and the nurse laid hands on the boy.
My husband prayed that all the bones, organs, tissues to be healed. He said the prayer lasted a few minutes.
And then they left.
Ron was disappointed. He expected a long prayer.

This happened on a Thursday.
The boy had broken bones in ribs,legs and arms, and internal injuries.
On Saturday, the prayer wave lady called, screaming.
When my husband calmed her down, she said, "It's a miracle!"
The boy was home that Saturday, playing in the backyard!

This is a 100% true story.

God does do miracles today in this day and age.

Signs will follow those that believe.

I clarified some of the details with my husband, as I was telling this story.
He had tears in his eyes, as he reminded me of the details.
"I am so glad that I could be a part of that" he said.
