Today at my church Barry B., was in attendance. This was the first time he was there since September 30th. That was the day that time stopped for him and his wife. He had suffered a heart attack and a stroke that day.
When announcing visitors at church, an elderly gentleman (my FIL) stood up and said something about Barry being back. Everyone clapped and stood on their feet (a standing ovation) for him to welcome him back. It was sure great to have him with us in church again. Of all the things that he went through it was INDEED a miracle!
Barry gave his testimony about his health condition. He said while he was in the coma he knew that God was with him. Barry knew that the Lord was in his room. He could almost touch Him as he was in the presence of God. He felt the peace of God with him. Barry felt a tremendous amount of peace because he knew God was so big. He was thankful for the congregation for the prayers that he felt and gave thanks to his wife, Darlene. Darlene also shared and was told Barry had a 10% chance to live. She held onto the phrase "He was 10% and growing." She was reminded that "nothing is impossible, when you have God."
The Lord has made Barry a living miracle. He will be able to tell his story to countless people in the near future. Welcome home Barry!
