Motivational & Inspirational Stories: A Message For The Season
I originally wrote the following in March of 2000, however it’s a great message for the season – and it’s just as relevant and accurate now as it was at the turn of the century. Besides… inspiration never gets old. Enjoy…
A Little Faith
A recent newspaper article featured a story about a New Mexico mother who, last Christmas Eve, after being in a catatonic state for sixteen years, suddenly regained her consciousness - suddenly awoke to her loving awaiting family. As it turns out, she stopped breathing after suffering a blood clot in her lung during a Caesarian section. After resuscitation, doctors determined that brain damage had resulted from the lack of oxygen. This caused her to slip into a catatonic state - where she remained for well over a decade with no sign of communication. Yet on the Eve of Christmas, with no rhyme or reason, she blurted out to the attending nurse - "Don't do that". Since that incredible day she has been slowly but surely re-familiarizing herself with life again - getting to know her children… getting to know her friends… getting to know herself.
Two things struck me about this story. Most obvious of course, is the fact that the mother's sudden return after all these years is nothing short of miraculous. Every once in a while we are presented with a sign that there is something majestic out there… that our lives have meaning far beyond anything we can comprehend… Impressive too was the love and faith of her family... a family that refused to give up - or give in. A family that said no matter how long it takes, no matter the pain - we'll be there for you … we'll wait for you. This is the stuff that miracles are made of… proof that a lot of love and a little faith can go a long way.
A little something to think about the next time it seems like the deck has been stacked against you. Have faith, be inspired and don’t give up. Life isn’t done with you yet…
Talk to you soon.
