What A Miracle !!! by sucreblazing(m): 4:29pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
A little girl went to her bedroom
and pulled a glass jelly jar from
its hiding place in the closet.
She poured the change out on
the floor and counted it carefully.
Three times, even. The total had
to be exactly perfect. No chance
here for mistakes.
Carefully placing the coins back in
the jar and twisting on the cap,
she slipped out the back door
and made her way 6 blocks to
Rexall's Drug Store with the big
red Indian Chief sign above the
door.
She waited patiently for the
pharmacist to give her some
attention, but he was too busy at
this moment. Tess twisted her
feet to make a scuffing noise.
Nothing. She cleared her throat
with the most disgusting sound
she could muster. No good.
Finally she took a quarter from
her jar and banged it on the
glass counter. That did it!
'And what do you want?' the
pharmacist asked in an annoyed
tone of voice. I'm talking to my
brother from Chicago whom I
haven't seen in ages,' he said
without waiting for a reply to his
question.
'Well, I want to talk to you about
my brother,' Tess answered back
in the same annoyed tone. 'He's
really, really sick ... and I want to
buy a miracle.'
'I beg your pardon?' said the
pharmacist.
'His name is Andrew and he has
something bad growing inside
his head and my Daddy says only
a miracle can save him now. So
how much does a miracle cost?'
'We don't sell miracles here, little
girl. I'm sorry but I can't help
you,' the pharmacist said,
softening a little.
'Listen, I have the money to pay
for it. If it isn't enough, I will get
the rest. Just tell me how much it
costs.'
The pharmacist's brother was a
well dressed man. He stooped
down and asked the little girl,
'What kind of a miracle does your
brother need?'
' I don't know,' Tess replied with
her eyes welling up. 'I just know
he's really sick and Mommy says
he needs an operation. But my
Daddy can't pay for it, so I want
to use my money.'
'How much do you have?' asked
the man from Chicago.
'One dollar and eleven cents,'
Tess answered barely audibly.
'And it's all the money I have, but
I can get some more if I need to.'
'Well, what a coincidence,' smiled
the man. 'A dollar and eleven
cents - the exact price of a
miracle for little brothers.'
He took her money in one hand
and with the other hand he
grasped her mitten and said
'Take me to where you live. I
want to see your brother and
meet your parents. Let's see if I
have the miracle you need.'
That well dressed man was Dr.
Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon,
specializing in neuro-surgery.
The operation was completed
free of charge and it wasn't long
until Andrew was home again
and doing well.
Mom and Dad were happily
talking about the chain of events
that had led them to this place.
'That surgery,' her Mom
whispered. 'was a real miracle I
wonder how much it would have
cost?'
Tess smiled. She knew exactly
how much a miracle cost .. one
dollar and eleven cents plus the
faith of a little child.
In our lives, we never know how
many miracles we will need.
A miracle is not the suspension
of natural law, but the operation
of a higher law. I know you'll
keep the ball moving!
