Priesthood blessing

Our heavenly fathers priesthood is here on the earth today. I know that. I don't kind of know I really know. The kind of know that can never be denied.

on 6-7-08 my life and that of my families was changed forever. I was witness to a true miracle.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon. A good day my husband and my children had returned home from a baptism of a close friend. Ray my husband was asked to stand in the confirmation circle the next day all was well in the world.

Until it all fell apart. I found my husband lying in our driveway on his stomach I could not find a pulse he was not breathing. All of my medical training told me at a first glance that he was dead. I called 911 as I ran down the hill to him. I started CPR with my aunt we performed it for 8 min the worst 8 min of my life. The call went out to my family that Ray was dead that I was performing CPR.

The EMS arrived at the same time as my mother and father. The Ems worked on him for 15 min giving epinephrine and shocking his heart with a defibrillator 4 times.

As my father walked up my hill our eyes met and I told him Ray needs a blessing. He put his hands on his head and called his spirit back. This was not a showy act. but a simple blessing given in faith and with the power of the priesthood.

The Emt's got a heart rate back at this point and Ray was transferred to the hospital.

As the Doctors where going over his cat scans. our bishop and my father gave Ray a blessing. I was told that Ray was going to be brain dead that I should consider organ donation and make him as comfortable as possible.

Could this really be happening to me to my family. what about our 4 children how could they grow up with out a father?My family gathered around me I was given a blessing one that told me that the lord could not work with fear, that you could not have faith and fear in the same body.

As I looked at my eternal companion all hooked up to tubes and in a coma I felt the lords angels around me.

My 4 brothers-in laws and my father gave Ray a blessing the next night. One that told him he had his agency that the lord would give him a choice to finish his mission on earth or fulfill his mission in heaven. that our lord would counsel him but the choice was his.

My family left me alone with Ray as the monitors hummed we talked well I talked and I know that he listened. We had an Eternal marriage. No matter what choice Ray made for our family it was going to be the right one I had peace in my heart. I slept for the first time in 3 days that night. while Ray was still in coma.

when I woke up Ray was opening his eyes and responding it stimulation. The doctors were cautious they did not know how much brain activity would come back. More cat scans where done. NO Brain damage was seen.

How could this be? the Doctors could not say. But we know.

Today 1 year latter Ray is driving a car and taking caring his family.

I know that the priesthood is on the earth today as it was when the lord walked the earth. I know that only his will can be done and if it was not his will then Ray would not be with me today. but through the priesthood we are a eternal family and that is the lords plane for us.
