My Miracle story at the time of 11 years old.

This story is in 1st person, specifically from my mother's point of view.

                    
                        Matthew █████ Hugley (█-██-████)
                        At 10 months old Matthew was dubbed
                    Failure To Thrive. He was not gaining the
                    proper amount of weight for his age.
                        They ran all kinds of tests on
                    Matthew, sent him to nutritionists and
                    specialists for years. All tests came
                    back negative for any problems.
                        The specialist wanted to do
                    exploratory surgery going down and
                    up his body and also putting a
                    feeding tube in his side.
                        Since all test’s came back
                    negative for any problems, we his
                    parents discussed this and said
                    we didnt think he would live thru
                    this procedure and all the weight
                    he would of lost in the process.
                        For years he only got up to
                    28LBS. He turned 5 yrs old and
                    still weighed 28 LBS. So I
                    prayed for a miracle for Matthew.
                    I also asked my prayer warriors at
                    church and family to pray for a miracle
                    also.
                        A couple weeks after he turned
                    5, I was up early doing my
                    daily devotions when Matthew
                    woke up, I left my
                    bible open on the foot stool and
                    went to Matthew to start the day.
                        I picked him up and rested his
                    body on my forearm as usual and
                    noticed some REAL weight on my
                    arm. I made him get weighed
                    in with no clothes on before getting
                    dressed for the day. I put him
                    on the scale, and to both our
                    surprise, the scale read 28.8 LBS!
                    I took off his little white cotton
                    socks and did it again. Yes, the
                    scale really read 28.8 LBS!
                        I started crying and told
                    Matthew he received a miracle.
                    I continued crying and praising
                    Jesus. I got him dressed for
                    the day and sat back down to
                    finish my devotions. As I sat
                    down, the bible was open to
                    Matthew 9:9. The heading of that
                    section said, “The calling of Matthew.”
                    I read that section about
                    Matthew the tax collector and I
                    was all alone in the living room, and
                    felt the Presence of Jesus
                    standing in front of me, across the room. He
                    stretched out his hand to me
                    and said, “Laura, Matthew will be
                    fine, I have Great plans for
                    him in my Kingdom.”
                        That next year Matthew gained
                    10LBS, and each year since is
                    growing and gaining weight, He is
                    now 11 yrs old, strong, smart and
                    62 LBS.	Praise Jesus!!!
