A woman was asked by a coworker, What is it like to be a Christian? The coworker replied, It is like being a Jack O Lantern. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.

on reading this miraculous story
about Mom and her New Born Baby..
Please When Carolyn Isbister put her
20 oz baby on her chest for a cuddle,
she thought that it would be the
ONLY CHANCE she would ever have
to hold her. Doctors had told the
parents that baby Rachel only had
only MINUTES TO LIVE because her
heart was beating once every ten seconds and she was not breathing. "I didn’t
want her to die being cold," Carolyn says, "so I lifted her out of her blanket and
put her against my skin to warm her up. Her feet were so cold. It was the only
cuddle I was going to have with her, so I wanted to remember the moment.”
Then something remarkable happened: the warmth of her mother’s skin kick
started Rachael’s heart into beating properly, which allowed her to take little
breaths of her own. "We couldn't believe it – and neither could the doctors.
She let out a tiny cry. The doctors came in and said there was still no hope –
but I wasn't letting go of her. We had her blessed by the hospital chaplain, and
waited for her to slip away. But she still hung on." And then amazingly the
pink color began to return to her cheeks. She literally was turning from gray to
pink before our eyes, and she began to warm up too. The sad part is that when
the baby was born, doctors took one look at her and said ‘no’. They didn’t even
try to help her with her breathing as they said it would just prolong her dying.
"Everyone just gave up on her,” says Carolyn. At 24 weeks a womb infection
had led to her premature labor and birth. Says Carolyn (who also has two
children Samuel, 10, and Kirsten, 8 ): “We were terrified we were going to lose
her. I had suffered three miscarriages before, so we didn’t think there was
much hope.” When Rachael was born she was grey and lifeless. Ian Laing, a
consultant neonatologist at the hospital, said: “All the signs were that the
little one was not going to make it and we took the decision to let mum have a
cuddle as it was all we could do. Two hours later the wee thing was crying."
"This is indeed a miracle baby," adds the doctor, "and I have seen nothing like
it in my 27 years of practice. I have not the slightest doubt that mother’s love
saved her daughter.” Rachael was moved onto a ventilator where she
continued to make steady progress and was tube and syringe fed her mother’s
pumped breast-milk. “The doctors said that she had proved she was a fighter
and that she now deserved some intensive care as there was some hope," says
Carolyn. "Rachael did it all on her own – without any medical intervention or
drugs. She had clung on to life – and it was all because of that cuddle." The
cuddle had warmed up her body and regulated her heart and breathing
enough for her to start fighting. At 5 weeks she was taken off the ventilator and
began breastfeeding on her own. At four months Rachel went home with her
parents, weighing 8 lbs – the same as any other healthy newborn. Because
Rachel had suffered from a lack of oxygen doctors said there was a high risk of
damage to her brain. But a scan showed no evidence of any problems and
today Rachel is on par with her peers. "She is doing so well," says Carolyn,
smiling. "When we brought her home, the doctors told us that she was a
remarkable little girl. And most of all, she just loves her cuddles. She will sleep
for hours, just curled into my chest. It was that first cuddle which saved her
life – and I’m just so glad I trusted my instinct and picked her up when I did.
Otherwise she wouldn’t be here today.”
Thankfully I am a firm believer that
we are all in His hands, He has
created us all for His purpose. And
He loves us so much that He gave His
Son so that we may live... (Thankfully
Jesus arose after three days, and will
live with us for eternity) THANK YOU
GOD... THANK YOU JESUS!
