Miracle Story #6
"Thirty years ago December 30th, my mom died. Unexpectedly. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant so it was a stressful time anyways. It was a very, very stressful time.
We had a lot of problems even getting her service pulled together with her passing on the 30th, and they would not allow us to make her arrangements until the funeral was completely paid for. We finally got all of that taken care of and then we had the viewing.
My husband and I had just left the mortuary that day and I was really having a terrible time dealing with the grief on the car ride home. And that's when it happened, and it was so cool. Just all of a sudden I went from falling apart to feeling these arms wrap around me in the car. And it was a feeling I had never felt before, and I have never felt since.
It was just this intense calm that came over my body. I went from completely falling apart to completely calm and 'everything is going to be okay,' within just a matter of seconds.
I found out a few days later when I talked to one of my friends, that she had noticed how badly I was doing while at the viewing. She had started praying for me and we figured out that she was still praying for me at the specific time that it happened.
So from that moment forward, whenever I've seen somebody who’s really struggling, that has been my prayer for them. I pray that they can feel that touch, that amazing feeling of God wrapping his arms around them to let them know that it's all going to be okay.
I believe what happened to me lets us know that God is with us in even the little instances when we’re falling apart too, not just in the big huge miracles that we hear about.
In times that I've struggled with other things in my life, that will come into my mind. There is no other explanation for that touch that I had that day. Kenny and I were the only two in the car and he was driving. He did not touch me but I could feel arms wrapped completely around me, so it had to be a touch from God.
There is no other explanation.
It was so incredible that here even thirty years later, I still cry when I think about that. It was such an amazing touch."
In loving memory and honor of Jolene Dinkel.
