Sumble

A Whisper in the Storm
------------
Maria sat on the hospital bench alone, her little boy Liam had been undergoing surgery for two hours. The doctors had indicated it was a slim chance, but she would pray. The wind was howling and thunder rumbled, but in her heart, she began to feel a calmness. It was not loud or dramatic, more like a whisper in a storm.

Minutes felt like hours which turned out to be the case. The calmness Maria was feeling was interrupted by a surgeon emerging, exhausted but smiling. Hearing the words “It’s a miracle” made her gasp, her knees buckling as she sobbed. Upon looking up she was able to whisper “Thank you.”

Working through years side by side, Maria was grateful that Liam grew up kind and strong. Maria saying prayers at bedtime paid off, and now Maria’s desperation transformed into gratitude. Maria recalled that moment that transformed her life, how she met God in her darkest moments.
