When my family lived in Ixtlahuaca, Mexico, we had to go to Mexico City to get some tourist papers renewed or something. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive through the mountains.

About 30 minutes out, my dad became very agitated and kept trying to brake the car or pull off the highway without alarming the rest of us. But the brakes were gone! One minute the car was working fine, and the next minute we had no brakes. My dad pulled over on the shoulder and told us why we were stopping. He was pretty scared.

He decided to try again, and accelerated a little way and tried the brakes. He got back on the highway carefully trying the brakes again. The brakes worked fine.

We decided that it was too risky to try to drive along curvy mountain roads with unstable brakes and drove back home. Dad took the car to the shop and they said that there was nothing wrong with the brakes and there was no way that they couldn't have worked. They thought it was all in my dad's head.

When we got home, we saw on the news that Popocatepetl (a semi-active volcano) had been raining ash on Mexico City all day. My little brother has very bad asthma. If we had gone anywhere near the city, he most certainly would have died before we could have gotten him to a hospital.

I think that God gave us car trouble to prevent us from taking that trip, and to save my brother's life.
So the next time your car breaks down, God might just be protecting you from something.

Awesome! Thank you Miss Minor!

Oh, yeah, I just thought of another one.

My little brother and I were playing in the park one day, when we heard screams and looking around, we saw a wild horse that had run away from its owner. The horse was galloping down the walk straight towards my brother, who was about 4 years old. He was rooted to the spot in terror, and neither my mother nor I could reach him in time.

A dirty old homeless man ran out from nowhere, grabbed my brother out of the way just before the horse ran him over, and gave him to my mom. When she had hugged my brother and looked back around to thank the man, he was gone. (I know you're going to say that the man had just left or run away or something, but this was an open space with no place to hide or run to. And he didn't have time to get out of sight.)

We think he was an angel. So the next time you see a homeless person, don't be so sure that they are what they seem to be.

My brothers-- twins-- were born ten weeks premature and because of the miracle of modern medical technology they have both lived now for 19 years-- one brother perfectly healthy and the other with only mild asthma (although when he was younger it was much worse and as a baby he had to be on oxygen 24/7 for 3+ years).

Many times examples such as the above don't seem like miracles anymore because they're so common now, but they are miracles nonetheless.

My daughter is pregnant with her second child. She rang me in tears a couple of months ago as she had been for an ultrasound and the doctors contacted her to tell her that they were 100% positive that there was something drastically wrong with her baby. They were sure that it had down syndrome.
She was interupted during our conversation by a call from a genetic councillor, who was calling to make sure that she understood the test results and the gravity of the situation. They began the process of putting her in touch with support systems etc.
Nyssa was refered to specialists in a major city hospital and i rushed to be with her as she travelled to have further tests. The doctors had ordered an amnioscetesis (spelling) , which had a risk of bringing on early labor. At this stage she was at 24 weeks .
After the initial grieving and shock, I called two friends to pray for a miracle, or if that was not God's will that we would cope with whatever lay ahead. Unknown to me, they set up a prayer network and on the morning of the tests they all commenced praying in earnest.
300 kms away, at the exact moment they starte praying, I felt a calm come over me and I knew that everything would be alright.My daughter and her partner went in to have the tests and I took my three year old grandson Thomas to play in the garden at the hospital. We had a lovely time floating bark boats in the fountains and getting drinks and donuts from vending machines ( a novelty for country kids).
3 hrs later Nyssa appeared, and you could see a great weight was lifted of her shoulders. The doctors had tried and tried to replicate the tests. They looked at the films from the first tests and commented that it was like they were looking at another baby. They could not understand how the readings could be so different, and refused to do an amnio and put a "perfectly healthy baby" at risk.
The original doctors still stand by their results, but my daughter has chosen to change obsteticians and hospitals and her pregnancy is progressing normally. If anything she is much healthier than last time.


There are such things as miracles, they happen every day. Mankind just tries to explain them away instead of giving God the credit.
