A Miracle That Inspires Me Everyday

 For this blog I’m sharing about my husband’s miracle.  By now you all know I believe in miracles.  And I pray for miracles in my own life.  But instead of sharing about me I wanted to share about my husband’s miracle.  

It was September 29, 2008, our son had moved to Colorado in August, we both were still missing him so much.  My husband Paul was sleeping upstairs.  He was working the night shift.  It was overcast skies.  I heard Paul call for me.  I ran upstairs, he was calling out in pain, he lay there lifeless.  I could not get his vital signs.  I knew he had an Aortic Aneurysm.  My worst fear was right in front of me.  He was bleeding to death.  

I will now use Paul’s words for the rest. 

Words of Paul Pacco :

I thought about writing this earlier today but I was working on how to say it.  

Today is my 17th anniversary of almost bleeding to death and having a miracle done before many eyes. 

I have an aortic aneurysm and 17 years ago today, that broke open and I was bleeding to death.  I was flown to Albany Med in a helicopter, rushed into the ER, and the cardio team was ready to operate on me right there.  

I had one heart beat per 45 seconds, no blood pressure, and  two pockets of blood forming in my abdomen.  

I couldn’t move, I couldn’t hear them yelling to me to stay awake, and I was looking around and seeing all the people there, but I couldn’t move my head!

They rushed me to a CT scan and thats when the power of prayer was displayed! 

The doctors, nurses, flight crew, everyone was stunned!  They had pictures of the blood and then the next set of pictures, the blood was gone!

They had pictures of my heart and then it showed it had stopped bleeding out and the aneurysm was actually smaller!

They didn’t know what happened.  I started to move around and they just looked and couldn’t believe it!  

You see, there were a bunch of people praying for me in different states and countries.  My wife had contacted our church and said to start praying.  One couple was walking in a park in Saratoga and they saw the helicopter go over their heads and they felt God speaking to them to pray, so they did.  One friend of ours was going by when the ambulance was at the house and she started praying.  Our son was out in Colorado at the School of Worship when his mom called and immediately, the students surrounded him and started praying.  Friends of ours in Australia and New Zealand heard about it quickly and prayed.  

See where I am going here?  The power of prayer is so powerful!  People heard, and they prayed.  I used to wonder why God allowed me to live but I know I have a lot more to do for Him.  

He brought me out of a certain death.  But why doesn’t this happen to everyone we pray for?  How come some people get healed and others don’t?

I still have the aneurysm, and it took me a long time to get my strength back.

The answers to the questions you ask can be found in the Bible and when you get into a good Bible teaching church.

None of us know all the answers but I know that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and when I do die, I know I will be with Him in Glory!

Around 3 weeks ago, a young man was assassinated in front of thousands of people for his opinion rooted in his faith and love for God.

And since that time, hundreds of thousands and many more have come to know who Jesus is and accepted Him into their hearts. 

So, if you have read this LONG testimony of mine, and if you haven’t accepted Him, I want to tell you that you never know when you will die.  You might say “ thats all that religious stuff, it’s not real!”.  Well, I am here to tell you that God is REAL!  What happened to me is unexplainable in the medical fields!  And I am not the only one that has had a miracle.

Don’t wait another minute!  Get a hold of me if you want to hear more about who God is and what He can do for you!  

I will get you a Bible and we can walk through it together!  There are so many believers out there that can help.  A lot of good churches that you can become a member.

Amen and God Bless! 

Paul

God did hear the prayers.  He stood along side of me and promised it would be ok, that I was never alone.  

When I got to the hospital, an hour away, I ran in asking for my husband.  They pointed, I ran in, he was sitting up talking, asking me what happened.  

Folks always believe, the Scriptures tell us Hope does not disappoint.  Amen.
