Herman Ostry's barn floor was under twenty-nine inches of water after a flood. He needed a miracle - and fast - to salvage his barn and be ready for winter. He needed to move his entire 17,000-pound barn to a new foundation more than 143 feet away. His son, Mike, devised a lattice work of steel tubing. He nailed, bolted, and welded the lattice on the inside and the outside of the barn, with hundreds of handles attached.
After one practice lift, 344 volunteers slowly walked the barn up a slight incline, each supporting less than fifty pounds. In just three minutes, the barn was on its new foundation. And Herman had his miracle.
If you're holding out for a miracle today, don't be surprised if the one God sends you comes at the hands of your friends and neighbors. We can always count on Him to come through, but He very often uses those nearest to us to see us through a difficult time.
~ HUMAN MIRACLE ~
MANY TIMES GOD REVEALS
HIS POWER, LOVE AND MIGHT
WITH MIGHTY SIGNS
AND WONDERS
THAT BREAK THROUGH
DARKEST NIGHT
SOMETIMES HE CHOOSES
TO INSTEAD
USE RESOURCES CLOSER TO HOME
THE LOVING SUPPORT
AND CARING HANDS OF FRIENDS
THE HUMAN MIRACLE
NOT HEAVEN'S GLORY
ALONE...
