I hope you and your family can get back to a sense of normalcy very soon. <br /><br />Blessings<br /><br />Deborah Matherne<br />El Camino a la Superacion<br /> Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040178627094364814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089868875915873819.post-27872894881378126682013-08-17T22:41:45.096-06:002013-08-17T22:41:45.096-06:00We don't know one another, but I heard about y...We don't know one another, but I heard about your ordeal through a mutual friend and was praying during Ben's ordeal (a prayer request came out on our intercessor's e-mail list at New Grace Church in Fleming Island, FL). What a privilege to be able to pray for you and your family, and I am praising God with all of you now, Trish! Oh, so happy to hear the wonderful news of Ben's safe release! I too have an 11-year old son and cannot even imagine what you both went through emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I would love to hear the rest of your story when you are able to finish writing it. <br /><br />I wanted to tell you how touched I was by the butterfly portion of Ben's story. I had a surreal experience a few years ago on a dock near my house, when praying to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit appeared to me in the form of dozens of yellow butterflies flying towards me from across the lake. It was a very real and defining moment in my spiritual life. I feel the butterflies Ben saw were the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself to your son, and bringing a moment of pure joy and beauty into the ugliness of the situation. God heard our prayers and sent the butterflies to be with Ben, just as Jesus was sent down to be "God with us" (the translation of His name, Messiah). <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this powerful, faith-building story. Praise His holy name--Jesus Messiah! He is with us!<br /><br />With Much Love, Allison Hastie (allisonhastie@att.net)Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089868875915873819.post-22474166745403625242013-08-17T17:02:36.460-06:002013-08-17T17:02:36.460-06:00Trish, Really appreciate your time in writing abou...Trish, Really appreciate your time in writing about this tremendous miracle. Being a missionary in Honduras for 14 years I like to see what the Lord is doing in other missionaries' life. I saw where another missionary was asking to pray for Ben. Immediate I posted to all Prayer Warriors to pray, because I know God answers prayer. Thank you for your time in sharing the events with us. Blessings.
