Grace fondly remembered how she took a step back, closed her eyes tightly and blew. She was glad when all the candles went out. But when they came back on again she laughed with all her might.
She reached over and hugged her husband of sixty years Mario. It was a beautiful event that the church had planned for them.
It was a celebration of a love that has withstood the moments of time. But now she was sitting in a very different atmosphere.
The love of her life was lying lifeless in the bed before her. Grace began to weep uncontrollably. She took her husband's hand again. But there was no response.
Just then she could feel a hand upon her shoulder. It was the Pastor from their church. "Grace the ladies are here to take you to prayer meeting and Bible study." He said.
"No" she said. "I can't leave him!" "Grace We will be here, myself and the deacons. You need to get some air." He answered.
The ladies took Grace to church. They had a special guest, an evangelist. The spirit of God filled the sanctuary.
They took Grace to the front to be prayed for. Grace took the evangelist hands and prayed for Mario. She knew that God could touch him in that room tonight and bring him back to her.
She believed with all of her heart. She knew that God's love and the power of the love of the heart were stronger than anything.
Suddenly tears began to stream down her face. One of the ladies came running to her having just got the call. Mario was conscious and calling for her.
Grace wept uncontrollably. She sat down and rededicated her heart to the Lord. She hurried home upon hearing the good news.
The doctor had just come out after examining him. "I can't explain it!" He said. "I can!" She said as she looked up to the heavens and said thank you.
