A Note of Thanksgiving

As I heard a preacher tell this story, I had to look it up for myself!  If you have not heard of the story of Peter Richley, your about to hear.  Peter Richley, as a young man, left his home in England.  As he tried to get to where he was going in life, he not only survived, one, two, or three shipwrecks, but he astonishly survived 5.  As he was plucked out of the ocean from the 5th wreck, the doctor of the ship told him of a dying English woman who was on her way to Australia to find her lost son.  The caption said she was in a state of delirousness.  She had continued to in her delirious state to ask God to allow her to see her lost son one more time before she died.  The ships doctor asked the young man if he would pretend to be the woman's son in hopes of giving her some comfort in her last moments and Peter agreed.  The ships doctor began to take him to the dying woman's side and  he told the young man the woman's name was Sara Richley.  The young man turned white and braced himself against the rail.  The doctor asked what was wrong and the young man told him "Sarah Richley is my mother."  You see she had prayed for 10 years that God would let her see her son before she died.  There was a reason young Peter survived many shipwrecks!  God heard a mothers prayer!  Yes still in 2013 God still answers prayers.  His continued mercy has helped me be at my mother's side as she died of cancer.  He also helped me as my own husband faced a cancer diagnosis.  The doctor told me he would most likely need chemo and radioactive therapy.  Thank God he needed neither!  I recall on icy day when we were traveling home and I was pregnant with my son.  A car went out of control in front of us.  When we hit our breaks we slid, one side was a steep drop, as the car slid towards the drop, God stopped the car.  My husband was able to manuever to the other side of the road an pulled off the road. As we sat there stunned, we seen another car coming and he lost control.  He came straight for us.  Our seat belts were off because we were checking everyone from the incident a minute before.  The car slammed into the back.  7 months pregnant I hit the dashboard right in the stomach.  Immediately a truck pulled over behind the accident.  Another car pulled over, then another.  The first man said I'm a state police, I've called for an ambulance and police.  The second lady said I'm a nurse and began to check me, the last couple said they were pastor and wife of a church in town.  The police came and our car needed towed.  They had to take me to the hospital to be monitored.  You see every thing I loved was in that car, my husband, my children, and my little dog Vicky.  God had sent the policeman to care for an ambulance and tow truck, He sent the nurse to assure me all appeared o.k., and guess what!  He sent that kind little preacher couple to take our little dog home, since she could not go in the tow truck or ambulance.  He had it all under control!!!  Let me wrap up here, as I could talk about all the goodness of God forever, but did you hear about the man that years ago was the only survivor on a shipwreck, which he found himself on a deserted island.  He was so angry at life and blamed God because he was not rescued.  As time passed he had built himself a nice little shack and the island had become home.  One day when coming back from the beach he seen his beloved hut was burning down.  So angry he asked God how could He desert him.  Didn't He see the mess his life was in.  He was a good man and was abandoned on that island and now God had allowed his only posession, his little shack to burn to the ground.  God had just forgotten about him.  That evening as the sun began to sit, the man seen a row boat approaching the island and seen a ship anchored off shore.  Astonished he told the captain how shocked he was to be found.  The captain told him that they were just going to pass the island when they seen rescue fire he had built.  So you think your life is a mess or your situation is too big?  You think God has forgotten about you and nobody cares.  Why don't you just begin to praise God.  It does not matter because your condition is not your conclusion!  God may just be sending a rescue your way!  If He went through the cross for you, if you'll just hold His hand, even if you go through the fire, you'll make it! God knows where YOU are at!!!  No matter where your at in your life your Problem is not as big as your Purpose!  God has a purpose in your life and I pray this website helped you see that prayer works.  I hope you enjoy my site, be blessed, and if you buy a pup, that's great too! 
Love Mrs. B!
