A bit of a miracle...

The night before, I chose to have a little glass of JP's soy milk with dinner...it wasn't much, maybe a 1/2 cup. Should have checked to see how much I had for his bottle in the morning. Soy milk is a pretty penny...and for someone with NO income and 3 kids, I should have known better.
When I awoke that January morn, I went to the fridge to pour his bottle...I broke down. With $2 to my name, how was I to afford a 1/2 gallon at $2.99? He didn't have enough for a full bottle...I knew it was my fault. I should have had water...should have had a water!
The only thing I knew to do...get on my knees and pray. I held JP and cried. I prayed and cried. I asked God for a miracle. That is all I could muster out of my mouth...a miracle. He is the God of miracles, right? YES...about 45 mintues later a dear friend of mine called to say 'hi'. She then asked if we needed anything. I am a fiercly independant person...closing my eyes and sighing, I replied to her..."yes, we need soy milk". She sort of giggled and said there had to be more. I cried...I had only a few diapers left, hadn't even thought of that. I also needed wipes and regular milk. She didn't need to worry about us...she had her own family. She said she would find a way to get it to me...HOW? She lived 2 1/2 hours away and was at work. Oh, I should have kept my mouth shut.
She never called back...
Two hours later I get a knock on my door....confused, I open it!
It was her mom...with a card that held $240. WHAT!?!?!
She cried in my living room and said that NO ONE should ever feel alone because we aren't. My friend couldn't get down here to give it to me so she called her mom. Her mom just held me as I cried. I thanked God with all I had...my tears and my heart. I didn't have a voice. No words came to mind...except that 'He does hear me'! He does care about the small stuff...He really is there and here!
I just wanted to share that little bit of a HUGE miracle! Even three bucks for some soy milk would have been miracle enough for me!
