Day 326: Sack Sunday

How's this for one of those horribly blurry photos that no one wants to look at? Sorry about that! Today was sack Sunday at my church. Everyone fills sacks with groceries to take to a food pantry that we support. It's always so moving to see everyone bringing all of sacks to the front and offering them up. And this picture is of half of the sacks from the smaller service! God is pretty amazing.

And speaking of God being amazing, this is pretty awesome: As of yesterday, one woman from the ACU bus crash was still in critical condition. She suffered head injuries and has been in a coma since the accident two weeks ago. Multiple tests and doctors all confirmed that there was no brain activity. Based on this and her wishes expressed in her living will, her husband made the difficult decision yesterday morning to remove her from life support and into hospice saying, "we are allowing her wishes of going home where she will no longer hurt but rejoice in heaven with those have gone before."

And then yesterday evening she suddenly, and inexplicably, woke up. She's responsive and asking about people and no one's really sure what happened. But it sure sounds a lot like a miracle to me!

isn't it amazing when you get to know of God's extra miracles...
we had a friend who was singing hymns over a coma patient while the pastor was visiting...the man woke up, sat up and started singing the hymns with them! The nurses came running when they saw his heart rate jump...and they were AMAZED...it was so cool. So happy for this ACU woman...God is good! ALL THE TIME :)
