Hi to all,
Sharon; what a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it with us. So simple,
yet so awesome! It just goes to show that If we have faith the size of a
mustard seed, we can move mountains, and clearly, dairy cows as well!
Many blessings,
Sheila and Vinnie

Subject: A Very Interesting Miracle
: Hi guys!
:
: I read about a very interesting miracle, from a book called Their
Mysterious
: Ways, which was compiled by Phyllis Hobe. It's a collection of stories
: about how God used animals to help people. Those of you who are patrons
of
: the Martha Arney Library can read this book from there.
:
: Like Phil often says, if I told you this story, you wouldn't believe it.
: (grin) Oh don't worry; I won't leave you in suspense this time. Here
goes:
:
: I did not hear the author's name very clearly, but it sounded like
: "Cathleen", so that's the name I'll use.
:
: Cathleen grew up on a dairy farm, where she had to help milk the cows
twice
: a day. The cows needed to be milked, even when they were sick, but the
milk
: of these cows would be poured out. One time, when Cathleen was about 16,
: she had to do the milking alone. There were 5 infected cows at the time.
: All the cows had numbered tags attached to their ear in order to keep
track
: of them. Her dad had given her a list of the 5 cows that needed to be
: separated from the rest of the herd for milking. this would be a
difficult
: task for just one person, as cows are not like horses that can easily be
: lead where they need to go. she wished that her siblings were there to
: help. The idea came to her that god cares about every aspect of our
lives,
: so maybe she could ask for His help. With the list of numbers in one hand
: and the other hand raised, she called out, "In the name of the Lord Jesus
: Christ, will the following cows please step forward: numbers 2, 11, 17,
32,
: and 49!" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound
: toward the back of the herd, and 5 cows came forward! Some of the other
: cows even stepped aside to let them pass! she read the numbers. Sure
: enough, they were numbers 2, 11, 17, 32, and 49! All the cows continued
to
: cooperate while the separation took place. God was indeed looking out for
: her, and, as she learned, He has a sense of humor too. perhaps He winked.
