Subject: Re: A Very Interesting Miracle
My Dad grew up on a dairy farm in Milford Michigan and he told me some miracle cow stories. One was:
On Christmas eve my dad and uncle got up around mid-night because my grandfather told them that the cows always pray on Christmas Eve at mid-night. So they went out to the barn and sure enough all the cows were on there knees praying. They were moewing quietly and a few were swaying their heads.
