Miracle Tuesday
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass
jelly jar
from its hiding place in the closet.
She poured the change out on the floor and counted it
carefully
Three times, even. The total had to be exactly
perfect. No chance here for mistakes
Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and
twisting on the
cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6
blocks
to Rexall's Drug Store, with the big red Indian Chief
sign above the door.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her
some attention
but he was too busy at this moment.. Tess twisted her
feet to
make a scuffing noise, Nothing,
She cleared her throat with the most disgusting
sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a
quarter from her
jar and banged it on the glass counter !! That did
it!
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an
annoyed tone of voice. I'm talking to my brother from
Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,
he said, without waiting for a reply to his question
"Well, I want to talk to you about MY brother," Tess
answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's
really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle."
I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.
" His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing
inside
his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him
now.
So how much does a miracle cost? "
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry
but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening
a little.
"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it
isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how
much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He
stooped down and asked the little girl,
"What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs
an operation.
But my Daddy..can't pay for it, so I want to use my
money."
How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.
"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely
audibly.
It's all the money I have, but I can get some more if
I need to
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar
and eleven cents.
the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. "
He took her money in one hand and with the other hand
he grasped
her mitten and said "Take me to where you live. I
want to see your brother and meet your parents.
Let's see if I have the miracle you need"
That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a
Surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation
was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until
Andrew was home again and doing well.
Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of
events
that had led them to this place
That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle.
I wonder how much it would have cost?"
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle
cost...one
dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little
child..
