Miracles Exist

Miracles exist. They surround us. Just open your heart and mind to the presence of God to observe them. How do I know miracles exist? I’ve witnessed them.

I’ve been a volunteer emergency medical technician on my local first aid squad for 35 years. I joined in high school, and I’ve been blessed to be answering calls ever since. During my time with the squad, I’ve answered over 9,000 first aid and fire calls. I’ve witnessed miracles and answered prayers. I’ve shared in some people’s faith-filled last minutes on earth. I relate some of these experiences in my books, At Heaven’s Edge, On Heaven’s Doorstep, and Help from Heaven. My fourth book, Heaven-Sent Miracles and Rescues, will be released November 1, 2022.

I recently had the honor of being a guest on two episodes of “At Home with Jim and Joy” on EWTN. During the shows, I shared stories of faith and miraculous rescues that I’ve witnessed on emergency calls. If you’d like to hear about them, you can watch the episodes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqylPNYpsbI (Part 1) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diedm4TelrM (Part 2).

Rescue personnel are with people and their families during times of unimaginable crises. I’ve seen firsthand how God’s handiwork puts people in the right place at the right time to create miracles. Sometimes, God miraculously rescues people. Other times, He leads them home to Him. As volunteer ETMs, we are blessed to help others in their time of need.

Sometimes, we take our health for granted. People don’t normally think about EMS until they need their services. First responders are in the unique position of being able to serve others when they need help. Being a volunteer EMT allows me to act out my faith by being a Good Samaritan.

Some question if miracles exist anymore. They do. Have faith and place your trust in God.

MY REVIEW

I think first responders and EMT’s have one of the most stressful jobs around. Every call is something different and they know they are going into a situation that could be chaotic. The stories shared in this book have  illustrations of faith, hope, miracles and survival. As I read some  of the stories I began to cry. Life is so short and in a blink of an eye you could be gone. 

There is no way to pick a favorite story from this book because each one is touching and life changing. The one with the two people in the creek was heartbreaking. In the midst of tragedy God sent someone to help. Officer McNair was one of the strongest swimmers on the dive team and happened to be on duty that night. His heroic efforts helped save lives even though there was one victim. God knew that McNair would be needed and had him placed on duty that particular night. 

I do appreciate the different stories that show how quickly an emergency can arise. We are blessed to have people willing to come at a moment’s notice no matter what time it may be. Their compassion for others shows as they skillfully do their examinations. I have had to call 911 twice for two different incidents. They were professional and helped me calm down and I was amazed at how knowledgeable they were in medical emergencies.

I am thankful for these people who come to us in crisis and can see God’s hand in each call they get. I’m sure that it is stressful at times but we are blessed to be able  to pick up a phone and call for help knowing someone is on their way. I do like how there is a prayer after every story and that they know God is with them in every call. It is a book of encouragement, sadness, miracles and brave men and women who answer the call when an emergency arises. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
