How much does a miracle cost?...
When they heard their parents talking about Andrew, Tess' younger brother, at age 8, they realized that Andrew was very sick. And both parents had no money left with them. Plus next month you will have to move to an apartment. Because father is at a loss to find money to pay the doctor's fees and the rent of this house.
The only way to save Andrew's life was through expensive surgery. And there doesn't seem to be anyone. What will you bring to this family?
But Tess overheard her father whispering to her tearful mother, "At this point, only a miracle can save Andrew." So Tess headed over. Go to her bedroom and pick up the jelly jar hidden in the cabinet. Then my mother poured all the pennies onto the floor of the room and slowly counted...counted 3 times.
Got the same amount and carefully put it away. Jar and close the lid as usual.
She sprinted six blocks to the drugstore. with the symbol of an Indian chief stuck on the entrance door
Tess waited patiently for the pharmacist, but he looked very busy. So she rubbed her feet, but the noise didn't help her at all. She tried clearing her throat, but it was as useless as ever. Finally, she took a 25 cent coin out of the jar and tapped it against the glass counter... Got it.. The pharmacist turned and asked in an annoyed voice,
\"What do you want? I was talking with my younger brother who had just arrived from Chicago. We haven't seen each other in many years."
He continued without waiting for the little girl's answer.
\"Yes.. I would like to talk about my little brother.\" Tess replied in an equally timid voice.
\"He is very sick, so I want to come and buy a miracle.\"
\"What?\" the pharmacist asked.
\"His name is Andrew. I only know that he has something unknown in his heart. I heard my father say Only a miracle could save his life. How much does this miracle cost?
\"Boy, we don't sell miracles. I'm sorry, I can't help you." The pharmacist replied softly.
\"But I have money to pay. Even though it's not enough But I'll bring the rest. Just please tell me how much it costs."
The smartly dressed pharmacist's younger brother who had been listening all this time bent down and asked my mother, "What kind of miracle does your little brother want?"
\"I don't know.\" By now her tears were starting to well up.
\"I only know that He was very sick. Mom said he needed surgery but Dad couldn't afford the doctor's fees. So I want to use my own money\"
\"And how many do you have?\" asked the man from Chicago.
\"One dollar and 11 cents,\" Tess replied dryly. \"It's all the savings I have..but I'll get more if I need more.\"
\"Hmm.. What a coincidence. \" The man smiled.
\"1 dollar and 11 cents is exactly the price of a miracle.\"
He held that amount of money in one hand. Another hand grabbed my mother's glove and said,
\"Come on, take me to your house. I want to meet my parents. We'll see if I can have the miracle you want."
In fact, that dignified man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, neurosurgery expert
The surgery was completed without spending a single penny. Andrew was able to return home in a short time. They are also in good health. Mom and Dad seemed very happy to talk about this incident.
\"This surgery..is like a miracle. I doubt it would cost money. How much?" Mom said to herself...
Tess smiled, only she knew. How much is this miracle worth?
1 dollar 11 cents.. plus faith of a little child Miracles are not things that happen under natural law. If above the natural law
