DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A CHANGE OF HEART CAN BRING ABOUT A MIRACLE?

A CHANGE OF HEART...


I would love to share something very personal with my friends. All the females from my mother's side suffered "heart conditions"... My maternal grandmother died at the age of 62 (in her sleep) - heart failure. My mother died (aged 71) after having been hospitalized for 2 days (heart failure). My favourite aunt had several heart operations. I remember once she had a "spring" inserted and I jokingly said to her "Now don't think you are a spring chicken"... and we laughed about it. She also passed away but I think her life was lengthened by the successful cardiac operations. And I believe that many (females) on my mother's side of the family all died because of "heart conditions".

As a young woman my late husband had a Medical Aid and I had no problem being a member. However, they did determine that I have a "leaking valve"... And when my late husband passed away and I re-married after being widowed for almost four years they terminated my Medical Aid. My present hubby tried to enrol me as a member on his Medical Aid but when I was tested by a cardiologist I was turned down - much to my amazement and disappointment. Ten years ago we tried again and I failed the test. However, hubby persevered and I became a member but we had to pay an additional 20% levy which made our payments rather steep. We accepted and a year later my husband approached the Medical Aid and argued that I had cost them almost nil in the more than 12 months that I had been a member. After a lengthy battle it was finally agreed that we no longer had to pay the levy. In the ten year period I have cost the Medical Aid far less than our annual payments and I think that I am an asset.

I must explain to you that way back, in the past, I used to "feel" when my valve was "playing up"... I cannot exactly explain how I knew - but I knew... (feminine logic)???(If females have any logic) (smile) And one day (that is many years ago) I said to my husband : "Do you realize that I have never complained about my "heart condition" for years now!" I was elated. I knew that my prayers had been answered. THIS IS A TRUE LIFE MIRACLE. I know that Jesus has healed me and I believe this implicitly.

Today I read an article which I quote below and I am truly convinced that the reason for my miraculous healing is BECAUSE MY HEART BELONGS TO JESUS AND I AM AT PEACE WITH EVERYONE. I love deeply and I smile A LOT... I am more compassionate, generous and kind. Hence the reason for my saying : "I love the old lady" much more than the "young lady" I used to be. (Who wants to be young and inexperienced again?) And impatient and sometimes callous and uncaring.... Not I.... I can never part with my wisdom acquired by God's GRACE. When I truly connected with Jesus I became more loving and kind, compassionate and caring. And the only heart condition I now have is that I LOVE TOO MUCH! AND GIVE BOUNTIFULLY OF MYSELF TO ALL PEOPLE THAT CROSS MY PATH.

A California institute demonstrates how people can actually make their heart beat in a healthier way. HeartMath's research shows that emotions work much faster, and are more powerful, than thoughts.

Briefly re-experiencing a cherished memory creates synchronization in your heart rhythm in mere seconds. Using a simple prescription that consists of a number of exercises that anyone can do anywhere in a few minutes ... HeartMath is successfully battling the greatest threat to health, happiness and peace in this world: stress. A successful anti-stress strategy provides results precisely at the moment the stress is experienced. This is what HeartMath does, which is why its client list now includes such leading companies as Hewlett Packard, Shell, Unilever, Cisco Systems, and Boeing.

HeartMath's slogan—a change of heart changes everything—pretty much sums it up. We can change the world, starting with ourselves."
