Miracles from Heaven Page #8

and she hasn't asked for a single pain pill.

- Come on.

- Two days ago,

she could barely get off the couch

and I don't know how in the world

she's doin' this.

Hey, I'll take a good day

whenever we can get it, babe.

- It's okay. I'm fine.

- Okay.

Hey, Mom, have you seen my pink jeans?

No, honey, I put those away.

Here, I have a couple other options for you.

Annabel.

What... It's normal.

Kevin!

It's flat. Kevin!

Mom, stop acting so weird.

He told me I'd be fine.

Who told you you'd be fine?

Something happened in the tree

that I didn't tell you about.

As soon as I hit, everything went black.

And I stepped right out of my body.

But it was kind of weird because...

Because I could see my body,

but I wasn't in it.

And then what happened?

The butterfly was there.

The butterfly?

Yeah.

I didn't know where I was at first, but...

But I knew I was safe.

I love you.

Baby, you spoke to God?

Yeah, but...

But it was different.

It was like... It was like

you could talk to each other

without really saying any words.

You know?

Like, I said I wanted to stay,

but he told me I needed to come back.

And he told me that

when I came back, I'd be healed.

And so I asked him

if he was 100% certain because...

'Cause I didn't want to come back

unless he was right.

Have you told anyone about this?

No, not yet.

I'm worried what they might say to you.

It's all right, Mom.

Not everyone's gonna believe.

And that's okay.

They'll get there when they get there.

You're right.

We get there when we get there.

Doctor.

She's asymptomatic.

Both her stomach and her intestines

are functioning normally.

I mean, all the parts are talking to each other.

I know that's what's happening medically,

but can you tell me how?

Can you... Can you explain it?

Maybe when she fell and hit her head,

something happened.

Her central nervous system

has been regenerated.

It's like her software's been reset.

So you're telling me

that when this baby girl fell 30 feet,

she hit her head just right

and it didn't kill her

and it didn't paralyze her

and instead it healed her?

People in my profession use the term

"spontaneous remission"

to explain what can't be explained.

You're saying she's cured?

There's no cure for Anna's condition.

But according to everything

you're telling me, she's cured.

I can't medically say that.

Then please figure out what you can say.

Hey, Dr. Nurkobel!

Watch me!

My patient's better

and I have a wonderful feeling

that this is good-bye.

Thank you.

Oh!

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, hi.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you for my little girl.

Thank you, thank you.

All right, you take care of yourself,

Christy Beam.

You, too.

I have something for you.

I've had this one since I was really little.

Anna, honey.

And I have a question.

What is it, baby?

Is it okay if I call you Aunt Angela?

Because you're way more than a friend to me.

Of course. Of course.

Next, from our

sister station in Fort Worth, Texas,

this is a feel-good story

that we wanted to share with you.

Ten-year-old Annabel Beam

from Burleson, Texas

fell 30 feet headfirst down a tree.

While rescue workers

were trying to get her out,

she says she went to heaven

and had an experience with God.

Ten-year-old Annabel Beam

fell into a hollowed-out cottonwood tree

she and her sister were climbing

and plunged 30 feet to the bottom.

The fire department from Burleson, Texas,

quickly assessed the situation.

The rescue would take time

and extreme caution.

According to

the rescue workers that I've spoken to,

this tree could be as much as 100 years old.

Come on, let's go.

Now is usually a time

that I choose something to talk about

that interests me and I try to ignore

some heads that may be

nodding off while I talk.

But you're gonna be happy to know

that I'm not gonna do that this week. Yeah.

Um, I've asked our dear friend Christy Beam

to speak with us today.

I'm sure that's why most of you are here,

because I don't usually get this big a crowd.

By the way, you had better put things

into the collection plate, television people.

Christy, please.

Oh. Okay.

Scooch over.

Oh, boy.

Well, I wasn't sure I was gonna do this today

'cause I didn't think I was comin' back here.

When Anna got sick,

I just couldn't understand it.

Why was this devoted,

God-loving little girl going through this?

I felt hopeless.

I felt alone.

I was angry that our prayers

weren't being answered.

I lost my faith.

Because of that,

I didn't see what was all around me.

Albert Einstein said

there are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle

and the other is as though

everything is a miracle.

I'm the first to tell you I wasn't living my life

as though everything is a miracle.

I missed a lot.

Miracles are everywhere.

Want to climb, Anna?

Miracles are goodness.

You guys finish without me.

Hey, Anna.

Bye.

Danny.

I can't make it to work tomorrow.

Sometimes showing up

in the strangest of ways

through people who are just

passing through our lives...

Oh, uh...

There seems to be a problem

with my system.

- And the distension is bigger because...

- Dr. Nurko?

Yes?

I'm the new receptionist.

All right.

- ...to dear friends...

- Come on, buddy, let's go.

...who are there for us no matter what.

No, no, no. Let's go back to sleep.

One, two, three.

- Surprise!

- Surprise!

Miracles are

love.

Anna!

Miracles are God.

And God is forgiveness.

Why was Anna healed

when today around the world

there are so many children suffering?

I don't know the answer.

But after everything I've been through,

I've realised

I'm not alone.

And whatever you may be going through,

I am here to tell you, you are not alone.

Miracles are God's way of letting us know

he's here.

Thank you.

Is it possible that Anna

wasn't as sick as you said she was?

- Is she serious?

- I'm sorry?

Did you seriously just say that?

- I want to know.

- I'm sure you can all understand

this is a little hard to believe.

- Why would they say that?

- And there's a lot of people out there

- that are just lookin' for publicity.

- That's right.

I can't believe this.

I believe her.

I saw Anna in the hospital.

She was gravely ill.

So much so that I wasn't sure

she was going to make it out.

I've never been a religious person.

But my beautiful daughter...

My beautiful daughter

died recently.

Her name was Haley.

And she was 10.

She had cancer.

And she suffered a great deal.

But the last few weeks

of her life were different.

She felt...

She felt safe.

She felt loved.

She felt...

She felt God.

And she felt that way

because Anna gave her faith.

She gave her peace.

So...

I came here today

from Boston to thank Annabel.

And to thank you

for sharing your story.

Thank you all.

Thank you all very much for coming.

If you'd like to join us weekly,

- you can sign up in the back.

- Yeah, sure.

Our deacons will take care of that.
