Some people believe in miracles and some people don’t.
But anyone who doubts that real miracles do happen, what happened this past week in Texas should convince any doubting Thomas’s that they do happen and that they are real. You may have heard the story by now, maybe not, but it is a story that a lot of people are still talking about.
A mom in Plantersville Texas had just returned home from selling food and beverages along a roadside, when while her back was turned unloading things, her three-year-old son Christopher followed a neighbor’s dog into the woods.
Four days later, she and family and friends were still searching for the boy. His mom says she never stopped hoping and praying that he would come home.
The local sheriff said they “were just running on prayers, four-wheel drive, and overdrive…. because they had nothing else.”
But then after those four long days and nights, the sheriff got a call from a man who said he had just finished up a Bible study when he just had a thought that he would look for the boy near his home. He did and after going out in the woods, there was little Christopher.
He had been found. And despite being dehydrated, he was in amazingly good shape. And now a lot more people in Texas and elsewhere who have heard this story believe in real miracles.
