Each day is a miraculous gift from God!
My boyfriend made it home safely from Afghanistan so that we could have the opportunity to be a part of one another’s lives <3
I was diagnosed with an extreme case of PPD and now I feel as if I am over the hump! It may not be as “miracle-ish” as some others I am sure but to me I thought I would never get out of that black cloud I was living in.
My middle son became very sick, with a very high fever. He was the sickest I’d seen before. As he slept on the floor, I prayed over him, within hours the fever broke, and in the morning he was completely well.
I survived breast cancer this year, at the age of 28, with the tremendous help of my two little miracles Natalie(4) and Julian(2).
My newest son was born May 19 at 28 weeks! He has gained almost a pound and is growing so great! He is our little miracle. Everyone they let me hold him I melt!
Found the greatest guy in the world an marrying him at age 41 next month!
My husband had a very bad fall from a cherry picker last summer. There was all kinds of equipment on the ground around him and when he fell he did not hit any of it. He only ended up with some bruises and minor injuries. God was watching out for him that day

I started bleeding at 14 weeks when I was pregnant with our second son. I lay in bed for a week and prayed that I wouldn’t lose him. The bleeding stopped, but then at 32 weeks I went into pre-term labor. Once again I started praying that everything would be ok. I took some medicine that stopped it, and I had a home birth at 37 weeks and delivered a perfectly healthy little boy! He is a true blessing.
I would love to win this and give it to my sister. She is trying to conceive a baby, and after three years of her and her husband trying I know she is getting discouraged. They are also trying to adopt a baby at the same time.

Our little miracle was born premature, emergency c-section and whisked up to a NICU in Milwaukee. Her smiles make you melt. She completed our family and not a day goes by that we cherish our little miracle.
My miracle is the adoption of our daughter, Anna. It seemed so impossible when we started our journey but God provided each step of the way and always just in time! She has been home with us for four years this month and she is a joy to our family!
Still waiting and hoping for one…
I would like to win this to give to Baby Rosalie’s Mom! I don’t know them but I have been praying for that family and for Rosalie to be healed! (If you don’t know her story…it’s on fb. Rosalie nearly drown a week ago. She is 2 1/2)
I would love to see someone win this for little Rosalie’s mom! I went to high school with Rosalie’s mom and she is a wonderful, kind, godly woman. With everything they are going through, I know that this would mean so much to Tiffany (Rosalie’s mom). We are continuing to pray for a new miracle every day for sweet Rosalie!
They are all def in my prayers….and many others I know! My heart just breaks for them. I can’t even imagine! Things happen and those little one can do anything in seconds, I know b/c I have 4! Rosalie WILL be healed and I’m believing that, speaking that and thanking Him for that!

My best friend has been trying to be pregnant for 4 years and we just found out we have due dates 2 weeks apart!
that we have a family patched together by adoption!
When I think of the personal miracle in my life it does not seem to worthy in comparison to others that I read or know about. It almost seems embarassing to think of what I went through as a miracle, mine is the survival of a marriage that could have gone into Satan’s chart of victory. I’m happy to say that God is winning and for that my whole family is grateful.
My two daughters are my miracles. They light up my life!
That I’m redeemed through the blood of Christ. :0)
My two sons are my miracles doctors told us they would not live past 5 years . They just turned 22 & 28.
Our miracle was, in last year’s horrible economy, my husband and I were able to get the funding to open our own business and we’re doing great! We had a ceremony to dedicate our business to God and a friend even came and prayer walked the property and the building. God has provided for us and allowed us to continue following our dreams!
My one year old was running, lost his balance and hit his head. I have never seen a cut so deep especially on his forehead. Had to take him to the ER to get it stitched up. I cant believe that less than two weeks have passed and its going away and it looks like it wont leave a scar. Im so grateful he is ok, im never been so scared.
My sons are my miracles doctors told us they would not live past 5 years . They just turned 22 & 28 we are thankful for every day that they are still with us.
My very best friend’s baby BEAT CANCER, and she’s not quite 2 years old yet!!! She became NED (no evidence of disease
) just a couple of months ago. She would LOVE this necklace!!
I struggled to get pregnant with my son for over a year and a half. In that time i suffered a miscarriage and somewhere along the way found a little stamped copper ring that said “have faith, expect miracles”. I knew it was a message to me, and a few months later I found out i was pregnant with my rainbow baby.That ring is still on my keys, and our first miracle is now 20 months old. To add to it, less than a year after his birth we found out we were pregnant again, and our daughter Emily was born in February! I love that this has a butterfly on it. I have 2 butterfly tattoos and just love them!
This time last year I was diagnosed with cancer. Two weeks later I was told it was not, but rather a rare autoimmune disease called Retroperitoneal Fibrosis. This disease affects 1 in 200,000 people. After a 5 hour surgery, 12 days in the hospital, and 6 weeks at home, I was finally able to go back to an almost normal life. I will have to remain on medications, and have regular scans to watch for regrowth, but I am incredibly lucky. It was indeed a miracle (or several) that led to this early diagnosis and got me treatment before the really bad stuff could happen. I am thankful everyday for the support of my partner and my family, but most of all for the miracle that was bestowed upon my life. I have learned to appreciate every day so much more.
I would love to wear this piece as a constant reminder of that miracle.
Facebook’d!
As a person who was homeschooled my entire life, I was really nervous going to my first day of college. In my first class of the day, God placed me in a class with three other sweet Christian girls, two of whom had been homeschooled! These girls and I become great friends and stuck together all the way to graduation. I am thankful every day for the miracle that happened that first day of college. My life wouldn’t be the same without them.
One of my good friends has stage four uterine cancer. We are hoping for a miracle on her birthday that she gets the news the chemo is working (if it’s going to work it will show in her first scan). I would give her this necklace if I won.
I received a miracle from God when my husband attended church with me for the first time this past Feb. I had been praying for 2yrs for him. We come from 2 different faith backgrounds. He has been going to church with me ever since that day. He never wants to miss a Sunday. We even joined a home group to get more involved.
I thought this gift would NEVER happen and it did. God is so powerful. I love seeing the difference in him since he started going to church. He even listens to Christian music in the car (which he used to get mad when I played it).

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had the energy to continue running through chemo…..which was the only way I was able to remain sane during the whole experience. I met women going through treatment when I was who were so sick and weak they couldn’t even get out of bed. That I had the strength to continue running….I consider that a miracle.
My Husband and I didn’t know if I would be able to have a baby because of severe endometriosis and other health issues. After 5 months of trying I got pregnant, by 11 weeks I was already put in the hospital from being so sick. After we went home for a baby shower at 32 weeks I went in for a check up and they did some tests and before I knew it I was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital with the best NICU. I was dying, my liver and pancreas were shutting down and she was going to be very early. I was so scared! She was the most amazing miracle, not only was I blessed with this baby but when they cut her out, the only thing wrong with her was that she had jaundice. She was only in the NICU for 6 hours and she was only 4 lbs. but completely healthy. I’ve gotten sicker since her birth, but being at home with her every day is the most wonderful thing ever.
A miracle didn’t happen in my life yet, but I’m trying to remain hopeful and positive that one will come my way soon. I am 31 years old and I am have Premature Ovarian Failure, which is basically pre-menopause. Five years ago, I was told that my body does not produce eggs and never has, so my changes of starting a family were 0%. Through many ups and downs, and tens of thousands of dollars spent on medical procedures, I can sadly say that my husband and I are the only ones that occupy our home today. However, I know that things happen for a reason, which you typically don’t find out until later when it all makes sense. So that is why I’m staying confident that a miracle will happen in my life, its just not my time yet. To be a winner of your “miracles happen” necklace would give me hope and confidence that my wish will come true eventually, like it was meant to be. I would wear it with pride and look at it whenever I needed a boost or felt like giving up. Thanks for such a great giveaway opportunity.
The butterfly reminds me of my godmother who passed away this year unexpectedly, and the miracle is the next month after her passing we sold our house and I had asked her to help us answer our prayers.
Love reading about everyone’s miracles! God is so good.
My mom went on a missions trip to Eastern Europe. At the last minute, she threw a bag of balloons into her suitcase. While on her trip, she went to a church and met the sunday school classes. In her purse she had the bag of balloons. She gave it to the teachers who began to cry. They had been teaching the children that God is faithful, that he answers prayer and that he keeps his promises. Amongst the various prayer requests that the children had been remembering, they were also praying for one special thing…. balloons. An everyday miracle.
We lost a daughter to triploidy in 2008 and we were blessed and restored with Gods beauty and joy in 2011… Our daughter Bella Joy is a miracle!

After my Husband, Charles, and I had 5 failed pregnancies, one being a molar pregnancy, a cancer scare, and numerous doctor visits, I was told I would never have children successfully. They were wrong! The Lord blessed me a year later with a beautiful little girl, Caitlin Nadine! Then He blessed me 13 months after her with Rosalie Cadence, then 16 months later with Vivian Rane! Each and everyday I wake up to the beautiful sound of their voices shouting, “GOOD MORNING MOMMY!”, is a miracle! I love my miracles!
My two kids are miracles to me, but my second, especially, was a difficult pregnancy with many weeks of bedrest, and yet she was born healthy and is now a wonderfully strong, beautiful, loving caring adult. There were months when I thought she’d never make it, but we are really blessed with both our miracle children – and it’s wonderful to see how reflective they are of God’s love now that they’re grown.
My miracles are my three daughters!! I am a type 1 diabetic & both my pregnancies (twins & a singleton) were difficult, but we are blessed with three beautiful little girls!!
In 2005 my brother was in a quad accident. He was spinning donuts on ice and hit a patch of gravel. The quad rocketed him into a pole and had him pinned between it. Miraculously (I believe only by the hand of God) my brother was able to get the quad off of him and ride home to get help. Once he was at the hospital they found he had three broken ribs and a punctured lung. We spent Christmas in the Hospital that year, but that was a huge turning point in my brother’s life. It was a miracle that he was saved not only from the quad accident, but also the life that he had previously been living. God is so good!
I had a miracle this morning when I woke up! December 12, 2011 I “died” during a heart attack. I was rescued by the firemen that took me to the hospital. I finally left the hospital about two weeks later, with two stents, 40% of my heart dead, and two different life saving measures. Five months later I was able to graduate from cardio rehab. The nurses told me they did not think I would make it. On graduation day I accomplished 40 minutes of cardio, then I did about 15 more minutes of weights. I am glad to be alive and thankful for all the little miracle workers who made it possible. More of my story is at http://www.metalheartsociety.com. Also, my first birthday since my heart attack is on Saturday, June 16!!

What a cool piece of jewelry! I think all of life is a miracle … how it changes and how it stays the same. We live and are upheld in the miraculous web of creation that renews itself over & over again.
When I was 17, I got pregnant. At first I thought I wanted to keep my baby, but then as I got closer to delivery I really felt God speaking to me and asking me to make a better choice. The day before I delivered, I decided to give my baby up for adoption. I had looked through 5 profiles of families and had only liked one of them. I didn’t have much time to make a decision and I didn’t get to interview them until after the baby was born. I had him during the day and the adoption agency contacted the family that I wanted to interview. They were camping and wouldn’t be able to meet me until the weekend was over. When they came to my house, I KNEW they were the family I wanted raising my baby boy. They had the same likes, dislikes, ethics, morals, standards, and goals that I did. God really put all the pieces together for me. My baby boy is now 11 years old and is a happy well rounded individual. We communicate through letters and emails and we trade photos of our families back and forth. I have to say that being a birth mother is an amazing feeling. I KNOW that I made the right decision and God is miraculous. That’s my miracle story.
Almost lost my daughter to alcohol, she fought her way back and is now expecting my first grandchild.
It is truly a miracle.
Miracles in my life are my sweet children, Josie, Jack and Parker!
Two years ago the daughter (16) of a friend of mine lost her dad and then headed on a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol. She ended up homeless and addicted to Heroin. Six months ago she agreed to go into a treatment program and is on the road to recovery and healing. She recently asked her mom to send her Bible! God is so good! A seemingly hopeless situation used for His glory as she is sharing Christ with others in the treatment center. Funny, it feels like a miracle but really nothting is impossible with God!

I have PCOS and was told that children were more than likely not a possibility. But God proved everyone wrong! We have a healthy 4 yr old and a new baby due in September! Our miracles
The birth of both my daughter and son are the most beautiful miracles
. They give me the experience of love at first sight and unconditional love.
Last year I experience a mega miracle. My sister in law gave birth to my nephew 3 months early. He was born at 1 lb, 12 ounces. Just an itty bitty little thing, but what a fighter. He’s such a precious gift at 15 months old, and now weighing 16 lbs. Such a scary start to his life, watching him fight to breathe, hearing monitors going off, so tiny (he didn’t fit into preemie clothes “properly” until about 6 months old) but what a miracle baby. Love him!
My Miracles are my two lil Russia boys.They came to us in time of needeing to be parents.I had indured years of infertility and with no answers we sought out adoption.In turn we got two wonderful boys who keep us busy.This November we will celebrate their 7th “GOTCHA” Day! I cant believe we havebeen a family this long already.They truly are out little Miracles1
My son is a miracle. He is 5 years old and has had diabetes since he was 2. Everyday we fight this and he never complains and takes everything that gets thrown at him with a smile! My son is an everyday miracle!!!!

I’ve had many miracles but I would want to give this to my friend that just learned last week they would be parents finally, after many years of trying. They will be receiving the miracle of adoption. A sweet baby that they have been waiting for. I would love to give this to her as a gift!
On May 22nd, 2012…my husbands brother was tragically killed while picking his 14 year old daughter up from dance school. Jason (age 37) was driving on a commonly traveled city road. While driving under a rotted tree; a branch broke off went through the windshield and pierced him right in the heart. He was alive long enough to stop the vehicle & place it in park (miracle #1) – saving both children in the vehicle. A week after his passing… His mother was praying and asking God to give her some kind of sign that Jason was alright. Within minutes, a battery operated candle that was broke came on and has been glowing ever since (miracle #2) – providing comfort to a heavy hearted mother. Then Jason’s wife began praying asking for a sign as well… She too had a battery operated candle appear. Also, her iPhone had a message stating “Heaven is for real “. Her iPhone was untouched by anyone (miracle #3) – providing a little comfort to a weeping widow.

I met my better half online….he was half-way around the world at the time. Long story short…the planets lined up so we could meet that one day. If we had not connected at that time, we would not have met eachother.
My husband and I have 3 beautiful and healthy girls and in October we will have a boy! Soon we will have 4 miracles to love each day!

My son is my miracle
I had to have an induction because my liver was elevated well i ended up having to have an emergency c section because his heart rate was going down. After the c section i realized that my son had a short umbilical cord so if done naturally he probably wouldnt have made it 
. Im very thankful for my family , doctor and nurses that helped during the process. My mom was there every step of the way she stayed with me the night before i had him and helped me so if i win this i want to give it to her plus she loves butterflies 
I Thank God everyday for my little blessing he is a sweet , healthy 10 month old now 
I am NED(no evidence of disease) almost 1 year after being diagnosed with cancer!
My miracles are my nephews. They were born 16 weeks & 5 days early and weighed 1lb 4 oz each.
They were given less than 1% chance to live & are now happy & mostly
Healthy thriving six year olds!!!
My cousin is starting year 3 of a battle with melanoma, it started with a tumor in her eye and had since spread to her liver and skin. Every day of her fight is a miracle and her faith inspires everyone she comes into contact with throughout her journey. I recently ordered awareness ribbon necklaces and keychains for most of our cousins (black for melanoma awareness) with a 24 charm (her basketball number) so that we can all show our support while she goes through an experimental treatment.
My daughter was born with 2 small holes in her heart. We were unaware of the problem until she was over a year (in itself a miracle), we were told she would have to have surgery *soon* and yet, every year we go in for an EKG etc… and every year the holes have gotten smaller despite medical reasoning. She is now 5 and one hole is completely gone, and the other which is an unsealed valve and much less dangerous has shrunken in size to almost gone. We still have faith that at her next check the Dr. will find she no longer needs surgery!!!!!
My miracle is my baby daughter, Morgan. We tried for so long to have a baby with no luck. God blessed us with Morgan last summer and she is turning 1 in two weeks!! We love our little miracle! She was worth the wait.
I believe miracles happen every day. I have three beautiful grown children, each with their own struggles – and a husband of almost 33 years – sometimes it seems like a miracle that we’ve gotten as far in life as we have, still all together. My son is a still struggling to recover drug addict – in treatment and working on, well, himself every day. It’s a miracle that he’s still alive and fairly healthy. We’ve lost many young people in the past year to drugs and motor vehicle accidents and I thank God everyday that my children were not one of these people and that they continue growing stronger and healthier.
My husband was diagnosed with Crohn’s (an awful, incurable, autoimmune disease) 12 weeks ago and has been suffering ever since. We haven’t known what we would about bills and an income since he is still SO sick and his paid medical leave is almost up. But our best friends contacted all our family, friends, and loved ones and raised monthly funds for us for at least 12 months to cover EVERY bill and financial need we have. We have no monetary worries while we face his disease and getting my husband healed. We are still overcoming the shock of it all!
In a season of total desperation we have seen God provide unexpectedly. He simply wow’s us with his amazing grace and abundance by pouring out on us through the love and generosity of those dearest to us. A true miracle.
I had some heavy bleeding during the first trimester of this pregnancy, but with lots of prayer and trusting God, I am now almost 22 weeks and we will be welcoming little Hadassah Grace to our family this October.

In February of 2011 I found out I was pregnant. 10 days later, we found out my husband was looking his job towards the end of April. The first of March I started showing signs of a miscarriage. March 17 my husband had a job interview, and I had a sonogram appointment. I found out I was pregnant with twins, and my husband got the job. He was to start May 1, 2011. April 30 we got a phone call letting us know that his start day was postponed until August 1. Meanwhile, I have been going to the doctor every 2 weeks, being told at every appointment that next time we will have to discuss bedrest. I delivered my twins at 37w2d working full time as a hairstylist until week 36. God knew we needed my income to survive, and he made it happen!
After losing our firstborn, a son, our miracle was the courage and strength to try again. We now have the blessings of 2 daughters!
I want this for a friend of mine actually! After years of infertility, illness and adoption, she just discovered that she is expecting–it is truly a miracle and God’s precious gift. I would love to give this to her to celebrate the life that she is carrying!
After waiting so long for our daughter’s adoption from china we finally got the call that we had a match. When she was placed in our arms I knew miracles happen.
January 1st my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, 5 days later she was in surgery and a week later finally home. She’s gone through 6 rounds of chemo, a couple blood transfusions, a platelette transfusion and (of course) has lost all her hair. Their financial worries were great when they received the diagnosis given the fact that my dad doesn’t have any medical coverage provided through his job. My mom worked at a restaurant as a hostess 2 days a week and had to give that up as well. The owner of the restaurant made people aware and so far they haven’t had much of a financial drain. God is good and has provided the finances they have needed so far, He’s also provided my mom with more time with us as well. The first CT scan, after her last chemo treatment, showed that most of the cancer was wiped out with the chemo treatments. My mom is one of the most giving and compassionate people you’ll ever meet, she’s constantly putting others before herself and has one of the best outlooks on life. She is my best friend and daily I thank God for the miracle of finances he’s provided and the miracle of life he’s extended to her.
My miracle is soundly, peacefully asleep in my arms. My 5 month old, healthy, happy, beautiful baby girl. A precious gift from above. Praise the Lord.
After having difficulties getting pregnant and losing a baby we were blessed with our first son. We knew having a second baby would be a real challenge. Still, we were unprepared for the rough road ahead. After 5 failed cycles of mild fertility medications, we began self-injecting medications and IUIs. Three failed rounds of this and no money left, we were told we were out of options. My husband and I were devastated, not only for ourselves, but for my son who would never know the bond siblings share. One Friday last April, we called an adoption agency and gathered information. That Sunday, I took a positive pregnancy test. I was pregnant with Finnegan, my miracle baby they said would never be who turned 6 months last week.
My miracle happened when I met and married my husband. I left a life of loneliness and depression and gained a wonderful family. My in-laws are so amazing and supportive. Now as I prepare to deploy, I can do my job with confidence that my in-laws will take care of my baby boy.
The births of my girls. I am grateful to have them!
I would give this necklace to my SIL who never thought she would be able to have a babe. Her lovely Olivia turned 3 in December. I hope for more little ones for their family but I know even if their family is complete they look at that little girl as life’s greatest miracle.

What a beautiful pendant!
My miracle is my precious daughter. My husband and I went through 7 years of infertility before we found out we were expecting her. She is such a blessing from the Lord!
We finany got pregnant using fertility. I ended up on bedrest by 24 wks and had my baby at 32 wks. We were in the NICU for about a month and a half. My little man turned 3 last week. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He is truely a blessing from God! I know my struggles haven’t been as scary as some. I thank God every day for what he has become… a healthy, happy boy!
Everytime we felt we needed to make a step of faith (especially when it came to leaving toxic jobs), “coincidentally” things always fell into place. Coincidence? Nah! God’s miraculous intervention!!!
The miracle of life! The birth of my
Child and now waiting for my 2nd child
To be born- true gifts and miracles from
Above!
There are so many miracles in our lives, some easy to see and others harder. For me my first child – who took 1 1/2 years to concieve is my little miracle. I know that God is there for us, and He will help direct and guide our lives. My husband recently changed jobs, and we had to suddenly move..a hard adjustment emotionally and financially. I’m looking for and seeing miracles in this new oppertunity in our lives.
You’re so generous Erin, I’m waiting for my miracle!
If I won this necklace it would go to one of my best friends, who suffered an anuerism three years ago. The doctors told her that 50% of people with her type of brain anuerism die before they get to the hospital.
Since then, she has recovered from first anuerism, and has faithfully been serving God in our church. She is one of the kindest and most giving individuals you will ever meet.
In January she went in for her bi-annual angiogram and they discovered another unruptured anuerism. Because the procedure that needed to be done was just as dangerous as “waiting and seeing” she opted to wait until July to see if any change has occurred. Her prayer (along with many others who love her) is for a miracle. That when she goes in the anuerism will be completely gone.
This is why your give away made me write in – it so reminds me of her story!
my little girls are my miracles. our second one wasn’t planned, but she was definitely supposed to come when she did!
My husband is my miracle. He survived being run over by a State Trooper when he was 14. Ironically, the trooper was chasing him through a field for not wearing a helmet, when he was thrown off te bike and the car ran him over, coming to rest in his head. The miracle was that had he been wearing a helmet, it would have crushed his brain. I thank God for this miracle all the time!
my cousin gave birth in January to a baby boy 12 weeks early. His lowest weight was 1 pound 10 ounces. Today he is a thriving 9 pounder. Through all of this he and the whole family was prayed over like nothing I’ve ever seen. ” For with God nothing is ever impossible…” Luke 1:37
His name is Luke.
Back in the summer of 2006 – I was a tired, lonely, single mother of 3. I prayed to God to send me a man. God knew what I needed – I just told Him what I “wanted” – I wanted a man taller than me, with a deeper voice than me, must like the water – I grew up at the lake, must love kids – I had 3, and must love Jesus, and most importantly “No Tall White Socks with Shorts, and never with sandals!” About 6 months later I met my husband – first thing he said is “I fish, is that a problem?” – then he said he had kids and how did I feel about that – great he loves kids (we now have 5). It turns out that about 4 months before we met he changed his sock style to “no shows” – he didn’t know why but he could no longer wear tall socks. His voice is super deep – he sings like an angel (ok what I think an angel would sound like) he sounds like Josh Turner or Barry White – he sings so well they let him sing in church on Christmas Eve accapella. And I got a couple of bonuses – he is super handsome – and he is a “Country Lover” (that’s what my daughters’ and I say) – he is a disabled Desert Storm US Army veteran. We dated for 4 years (he said you can hide crazy for 2 years – hahaha) and have been married 2 years (June 10, 2010)
His name is Clayton Hale – he is a great husband, father and best friend – and he is my miracle! Thanks God for sending him!
(Side note – Our oldest son, Dustin, is getting ready to graduate from US Army Basic Training in Ft. Jackson SC on July 4th and we are super proud and very excited to go see him graduate! – Clayton and Dustin have never been apart more than 2 weeks until now!)
My two sons are my miracles. After 4 1/2 years of trying to get pregnant had given up and moved on. After a breast reduction found out I was pregnant. . I praise the Lord that I didn’t lose him as it turns out I was pregnant during the surgery. I was petrified that something would be wrong. Despite everything my son Alexander was and is perfect. When trying fit number two we were worried it would take a long time again. 3 months later we were expecting again. I love my Benjamin. They are my miracles that I get to experience again and again.
With all the crazy stunts my children have pulled it is a miracle they are still alive and we’ve only had stitches once! Lots of calls to poison control, disappearances requiring search and rescue officers, dog attack less than 3 feet from a major highway, and innumerable near misses with danger-such a miracle and answer to prayer!
My brothers continue to serve in the military and make it home safely each time….praise God! Bless their families here at home!
My first child was born at 30 weeks, weighing 2 lbs 9 1/2 oz. I had developed pre-eclampsia and it was so severe that my doctors had no choice but to deliver him in order to save my life and his. My husband and I knew that D was going to be fine when he pulled out his breathing tube within an hour of being born. He spent the first 7 weeks of life in the NICU and came home weighing 5 lbs. He is turning 7 years old this August! He is such a blessing to us and our family.

My son and my daughter are my miracles!! I thank God each and every day for the opportunity to be their mom!!!
What a wonderful giveaway of such a beautiful necklace!!!
Talk about a shock when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December…no history of any kind of cancer on either my mom’s or dad’s side. I’m half way through with chemo…have 52 weeks of it and just finished my 16th out of 30 radiation treatments. I went ahead with a radical mastectomy in March and will have reconstructive surgery in Dec when I’m done with chemo and can take my port out at the same time. That’s the bad news…the good news is that I’ve met so many wonderful nurses & doctors that have made this journey a lot easier! Plus the other patients I’ve met on days where I’m sitting through 5 hrs. of chemo have been awesome! I have not met one person with a negative attitude no matter how many hurdles they’ve had to cross! My community has been awesome…feeding my family when I haven’t had the energy to cook or even want to eat for that matter!! I am truly blessed!! The Lord is with me all the way!
Miracles? my son, born too early and adopted by us when he was five months old and just out of NICU; then years later a granddaughter born at 28 weeks weighing 2# 8 oz and today at 14 years of age, so beautiful and healthy!
I facebooked about the giveaway!!
I was in a car accident as a teenager. I was in the passenger seat when the car flipped several times in a ditch. Everyone in the car was fine. When the EMT got there they asked who was sitting in the passenger seat. They told me it was a miracle I survived as the entire passenger side was crushed. Thank God he was there with me that day!
I didn’t realize what a true miracle my daughter is until the failed attempts and miscarriages that came with trying to have a second child with my uterine deformity. How I was able to successfully carry and deliver her at 38 weeks with a planned c-section is nothing short of a miracle. Our family may be small, but we are big on love!
My husband is my miracle. Without him we wouldn’t have our two mini miracles.
I was able to get pregnant with our daughter Grace off of 1 tube after being told I couldn’t. She was born with a rare condition
where most of the children are severly low in iq or development & many are mentally retarded. God showed up & showed out & has worked miracles in her life that even boggle her specialist. She’s almost 2 & unless you shared her story of her medical battles noone would ever know. She def has a future designed only by Him!
About one year ago my dad was having theses strange chest pains and decided it would be a good idea to go get it checked out. After many catscans, ultra sound visits and tests the doctor had come to the conclusion that something was in my dads heart and would need open heart surgery at age 42. Hearing about this, I cried and cried knowing that this was an extremely risky surgery and that my dad could possibly die. I also knew that my dad was not saved and never repented of his sin and put his faith in jesus christ-which scared me even more. I cried out to God that day with tears flowing down my face begging God and shouting to save my Dad and give him a new heart.
God heard my pray.
On that day when my Dad went in for his last check up before surgery the doctor detected that the strange thing in his heart that had been removed mysteriously. But I knew that God heard my cry and that he was the reason it was gone.
On the way home I remember my dad saying “things like this don’t just happen. I feel like after an ordeal like this something in my life needs to change…”
One year later my Dad repented of his sin and put his faith in Jesus Christ. God not only gave him a physical new heart; but a heart that now lives for him alone.
Miracles do exist. I watched the whole thing. Praise the Jesus!
I survived an abusive marriage & later on met the man God truly intended for me. He’s my miracle
God blessing us with a baby after an ectopic pregnancy is our miracle!
My great grandmother 97 years young, fell at the end of March breaking her hip and foot. I just knew that we were going to lose her because a surgery was requried and with a bad heart, we didn’t think it was possible. She made it through surgery which was a miracle. We prayed so hard that everything would be ok. She was in the hospital for 10 days and then went to a Nursing Skilled Facility for 20 days for physical and occupational therapy. She longed to be in her own home again walking. I visited her every weekday at lunch. My grandmother is very special to me and means more than the world. She was able to come home after 20 days but only because insurance wouldn’t allow more time. So home she went. Being full care she could not get around like she was able to before the fall. My mother ended up taking off work to give her 24 hour care. My grandma has longed to be in heaven, jealous that her friends were getting their wings before she had. She passed away this past Saturday 6/2/2012 from a heart attack. Although it breaks my heart that she is no longer with us, I have a sense of peace knowing that she has waited for the day to receive her wings for some time now. My grandmother is a miracle. Living to be 97 years old, breaking every bone in her body, and making it through the last surgery in March. She was the most kind, loving, christian woman you would ever meet. I know she is with me everyday and I smile just thinking about her. I sure miss her but will cherish the memories that I have with her. I would love to receive this Butterfly Necklace. It would symbolize the wings that my grandmother just received and her name on the back.
Right after delivering my first baby, I was diagnosed with cancer. I was told I was infertile following the chemo. The Lord had different plans..we had four more children after that. We celebrate and rejoice in His Perfect Will for our life..5 precious children now and my healing<3. We give thanks to God for life and answered prayers.
I need a miracle right now. I was laid off in May 2009 from a job I had for 16 years. With the job market down, I went to school for two years. I have been applying to jobs since 2011 with no luck. I have the education but not the experience. So I need a miracle or perhaps a little luck.
My son is my miracle. Little did I know that he would be my only child. I lost 2 children in the past 2 years before they were born. I have now realized that my first born was my miracle because I feel blessed to even have him.
My children and husband are my miracles.
My dad was struck by lightning and was fine! All of his doctors declared it a miracle saying that he really should not have lived!
In April of 2009, when my son was 4, he had a serious asthma attack that happened fast and couldn’t be controlled with his fast acting medication. Hans turned blue and I was on the phone with 911 when he lost consciousness and control of his bodily functions. My husband was holding him and praying out loud to Jesus to save our little boy and help him breathe. We could hear the fire truck coming up our hill (they’re only 2 miles away) and I was told to hang up the phone. I held our limp boy as my husband ran outside at 1am to direct the fire truck to our house. I just remember holding Hans and praying with all my might. It was a miracle when he opened his eyes all of a sudden and popped up. I started yelling out the door to my husband that our son was okay and his eyes were open. The firemen were getting their first response stuff and by the time they came in our house, my son was running all over like nothing happened to him. It was hard to explain to them that this boy had been blue and barely breathing. The paramedics didn’t have to do anything to him. They listened to his lungs and deemed him to be fine. They called off the ambulance, with our consent, and just as a precaution I took Hans to the emergency room myself. It was the first time we ever had to wait in the waiting room in the middle of the night and the personnel couldn’t understand why I was bringing a healthy boy in. (For past attacks, they always got us in right away because of his labored breathing). It was truly a miracle. I still tear up thinking of watching my son turn blue and lose conciousness, but rejoice at the instant miracle I saw when he opened his eyes and got up as if nothing happened. I still thank Jesus for that immediate answered prayer and all the other answered prayers in our life. It’s wonderful to be reminded that miracles do happen.
My son and daughter-in-law are having difficulty getting pregnant. I keep trying to keep them positive and let them know that God can do anything! Also, that as a teacher, I see soooo many kids who just need someone to care about them. There are lots of ways to be parents… Stay positive, God has a plan for your life!
After 6 years of trying for a family, my husband and I brought home our little miracle last month, so blessed!
My life was going in the “wrong” direction and God gave me chance after chance after chance. That is my miracle and we now 4 kids later….it takes my breath away, this life God has given me. =)
tweeted and took a picuture of my necklace and tweeted that. I get so many compliments on it.
Can we give one to Robin Roberts of Good Morning America? She is a good woman of faith who is once again battling a new disease. I just love her.
On September 11 2010 our beautiful son was born deaf. We found out when he failed the newborn hearing screen at the hospital. We are not hearing impaired or are our other children. We made the decision to have him implanted with a device called a cochlear implant. He has had it now for seven months and every day is nothing short of miracle, he can hear us whisper. He is so amazed with the world around him and teaches us new things every day.
I had triplets born at 33 weeks after spending 11 weeks on hospital bedrest. 1 girl & 2 boys weighed 3.15,3.8, and 2.6. The 2 bigger babies came home after 2weeks my little was touch and go for those 1st 2 weeks. He was on a vent for 12 days received numerous blood transfusions had 2 brain bleeds and had great doctors guessing what was wrong with him. He fought hard and after only 6 weeks in the hospital he came home weighing 3.3 lbs. Now Ethan. Is 7 years old. He was my first triplet to crawl and walk. He wears glasses and a hearing aid and he has a developmental delay but he is a fighter and a wonderful joy to our family … he is my miracle!
We just adopted our second beautiful baby girl! It is a miracle that God brought us to our daughters and gave their birthmothers the courage and strength to make the difficult decision to place them for adoption. We are so blessed!
My dad was diagnosed with terminal renal cancer 4 years ago and given one year to live. After much prayer, we are happy to see that he’s still thriving and his cancer is shrinking, something the doctors said would never happen. It’s hard on him (the medication he takes daily has a wide range of nasty side effects) but he’s ALIVE and it’s all such a blessing from God. I’m thankful everyday that he’s here on earth and to see him snuggling my babies is such a delight to my heart. In addition the butterfly is a special symbol (I’ve included it in my personal shop & blog names) so this is a piece that really speaks to me!
My mircales are my husband and most of all my twin boys. They are 6 now, but after they were born at 3 months one of the was diagnosied with craniosynitosis, which is a fusion of the bones in the skull, and also cause deformities in the face because the bones that are fusied at the skull “think” they are “adult” bones so they don’t let the rest of that side grow properly, whereas the other side is growing as it should the side that is fusied stays the same. They told us that they could fix the fusion by opening him up with an incision that goes from ear to ear to break the fusion. Then to fix the side of his face, that was fusied, look normal again they would took the bones from his eye-sockets and his forehead to reconstructed them to as close as what it would be as if he had never had the issue in the first place. This surgery happened when he was 10 months old and was the hard time in our lives, just to see our baby have to go through something like that. Today he is a normal 6 year old BOY and if the scar wasn’t there to show that anything ever happened to him you would of never know that he had any thing wrong before. Both my husband and I thank God every day for our 2 little miracles.
at 2 days old at 3am i happened to wake up in my hospital room and looked over at my newborn son. i saw some fuzz around his mouth and in the seconds it took for me to lift him out of his bed he went from pink to blue. his angels were watching over because seconds after i screamed for help he was rushed out of the room and a NICU nurse happened to be at the end of the hall. she grabbed him and after a short time he was resuscitated, and over the course of the next 3 hours (unbeknownst to me) resuscitated 2 more times before i was able to see him. he spent 3 weeks in “Club NICU” where he had every test known to man. The miracle is not that my son is alive, but that this terrible episode happened, otherwise I would have taken him home not knowing of his multiple medical conditions that could have had disastrous effect had something happened at home. today he is a happy 7 year old, still working his way back up to “normal” but…at least i have him near.
We had just adopted our newborn son because getting pregnant was not happening. 2 months later I got pregnant with my daughter. My kids are 11 months apart and make our family complete. She was our Miracle baby
My cousin would love this…she and I had the same due dates but because of preclampsia she had a c-section at 33 weeks and has a beautiful baby girl. Her daughter spent well over a month in the NICU before coming home and has just been diagnosed with a very rare chromosome disorder. She’ll spend much of her life seeing specialists and never be what we consider “normal” but she is a precious little miracle.
It’s ironic that this necklace is a butterfly and talks about miracles. After being diagnosed with a series of diseases and syndromes in the past 6 months, one of which being a thyroid disease (which makes me always identify with the butterfly as that is its shape) I have not had any miracles yet. I suppose the miracle that I don’t have thyroid cancer, cystic or ovarian cancer because of all this is a miracle within itself and each time I visit the DR and they don’t tell me that I breath a huge sigh of relief. The biggest miracle I pray for every single day is that one day is that I will be blessed with the miracle to give birth to my own children. I’ve pretty much been told I will probably not be able to carry an child farther then a month or two with all the medical problems. Maybe my miracle will happen too when the time comes. I try to remind myself of that everyday
My miracle is the restoration of my marriage after I was diagnosed with a brain tumor this past October at the age of 29. God has been faithful to see my family (DH, myself, 4yo son, and 1yo son) through six weeks of radiation treatment and now a six month course of chemotherapy. We will praise HIM through it all!
My husband and I have been married for a little over 7 yrs. I never wanted children till I married him. For over 5 yrs we had tried to get pregnant and failed! I went to several specialists and one even tried to schedule me for an emergency hysterectomy !!! I was only 29!!!! I remember asking God to please take the desire away so I could live happily with my husband! I had soo many procedures and medsi was a crazy woman!!! When I was finally at my ropes end my hubby and I started talking about adoption and I just couldn’t let the thought of my own child growing inside me. During this time I witnessed my best friend give birth to her amazing baby girl and it made me desire that experience even more!!! Her doctor was amazing and during the clean up time my best friend spilled the beans about my story to her doctor, he immediately said come see me, so I did 2 weeks later. He did tests on me and my hubby and found multiple issues that he felt where the problem. He then told me about IVF and put me in contact with a doctor in saint Louis ! The waiting period was insane but my doctor knew my situation and made a call to the doctor and got us scheduled in 3 months!!! I immediately started the many many shots for the procedure and traveled to saint Louis. We met with the doctor and he informed us that our chances where low of conceiving the first round and my hubby and I knew it was gonna work for us!! Our pastor had been preaching a series on ” now faith is” and how we should talk and act as if our miracle was now!!! We had the procedure done and 3 days later they put the embryos back in me ! They looked like 2 little fireflys going in!!! 9 months later God gave us our miracle!!! Twin baby girls!!!
My husband got a good job!! It was truly a miracle and we give God all the glory! He was at a company that filed for bankruptcy, so they cut salaries and laid people off. He was fortunate to survive the cut, but we could see the hand writing on the wall. He is middle aged, over-weight and has a bad scar on his forehead from some removal of cancer cells (another miracle in itself) Searching for another job in this crazy economy was difficult … but God help guide him to the perfect job for both his education and narrowed market he had be working. God is so good!!
i am the mother of a beautiful miracle in the making. My son Griffin is recovering from autism. Since he was diagnosed at age 3 we started doing everything possible to help him. he had no words or eye contact. But he was affectionate and sweet. Four years ago we found a home based program and with a great team of volunteers and lots of fundrasing we raised enough money for training so that we could run this program. Today my miracle is in second grade and is very talkative and all smiles. He still has a little ways to go but doctors and family and friends say he is almost the same as any other 7 year old. Today we are giving back by helping other families start their programs so their miracles can unfold for them. I want to continue to help make miracles.
I don’t know that it’s been any one huge miracle, but many little things along the way that leave no doubt that God is in control. It often was not the easy path I might have chosen, but looking back, you know it was the best one. From job situations (2 falling through that looked so promising- which allowed us to take the 3rd one that was so much better), to some minor complications with my current pregnancy (things could have been so much worse). Each day is a wonderful blessing and precious miracle. Thanks so much!
My Mom survived a terrible car accident over 15 years ago. At the hospital, she had the nickname “The Miracle Lady” in the ICU. Not one of the doctors thought she would survive, but God had other plans! When she passed away three years ago, a good friend and I were mentioning that we were thankful for those “extra” 12 years that God had given us with her.
my 3 beautiful children and amazing husband!
After experiencing several pregnancy losses, my husband and I found out we were again expecting. On New Year’s Day, 2011, our daughter was born. She was a miracle. You see, she only weighed 450 grams (453g is one pound). We were told to expect to say hello and goodbye. Despite the doctor’s predictions, our little miracle came into the world crying! She fought for 5 months before being diagnosed with a very rare heart condition and then she was welcomed into Heaven only 1 week later.
Where’s the miracle you ask? We got to know our daughter. We got to hear her first cry and learn that she had such a fiesty little personality! We got to be her parents for 5 months and tell her all about life and God and Heaven. We got to hold her and sing to her. All of this after being given grim odds of ever getting to meet her on this side of Heaven.
She also had thousands of people following her story. She taught them and us about Faith, Fighting, and believing in miracles every day, as well as recognizing “the little things” as small miracles. We have also founded an organization called “Every Little Miracle The Kyleigh Faith Foundation” whose mission it is to assist NICU and infant loss families.
My husband and I are now in the process of adopting and are holding on to Hope that we will soon experince our next miracle!
Our daughter’s room was decorated in butterflies and I LOVE your necklace! It represents the miracle we have already experienced, as well as the one yet to come!
Thanks for listening to my story!! <3
All my kids are my miracles. If they hadn’t been born, my life would be totally different. I now know the true meaning of blessed.

I have a brain injury, and other lingering physical injuries, after a commercial vehicle ran a red light in 2008, and t-boned me. So many miracles came out of that day. In no particular order:
I’d just dropped my daughter off and was in front of her elementary school when it happened. Miracle! A play-date mom-friend of mine saw it happened, called my dad, and made arrangements to pick up my daughter before I even left the hospital.
I left the hospital on my own two, unsteady legs, that same day. Miracle! The brain injury diagnosis was thought to be temporary, but is now considered permanent (that part’s not a miracle…)
The person who hit me was a sweet, Christian man who called and checked on me, regularly, and I truly believe it wasn’t out of fear I’d sue, but because he genuinely cared and had made an honest mistake.Although my insurance did sue his insurance for subrogation, I was able to speak with his boss and ask for leniency, because I know that intersection is a dangerous one, and he’d never been in our part of town. Yes, my medical bills were paid, but after learning he’d never had a ticket, never been in trouble at work or with the law, I didn’t want this man to lose his job. He was able to keep it, and we finally settled out of court last year.
This wreck brought someone back into my life after years of no communication. We worked together years before the accident, and lost touch when he left for college. He heard through mutual friends I’d been hurt, and called to check on me. One date, and now, almost four years, later, we’re engaged!
He’s been a tremendous help in my recovery. He’s taken on the role of father to my daughter, and he’s the missing piece to my puzzle. Sometimes I wonder, if given the chance, would I change things and take a different road that day, avoiding that intersection? To not see all of these specialists. To have time off for vacation, rather than illness or doctors’ appointments. To have money in savings, instead of a medicine cabinet that overflows. Surprisingly, I’m so thankful this happened. Parts of my life since have been, and continue to be, quite difficult, but his love and care, for me and my girl, have made the other parts of my life so much more rich.
I’ve always believed miracles happen. Now I know they do.
Thank you for the opportunity! I hope, sometime next year, after our wedding, to get a birds’ nest necklace with a fourth egg, if God so chooses to bless us both with another little miracle!
Oh, and my name means “butterfly” in baby name books! (Vanessa: greek for butterfly; Hebrew for star).
I prayed for two years to have a baby. Got son #1. Then prayed for six years for another baby and got son #2. Both well worth waiting for. My boys are miracles I’m reminded of and experience everyday. ( For mother’s day last year I got a necklace from vintage pearl with both their intials. yay! ) I love your work. Thanks!
Miracles – They surround me. The beauty of my life, husband, children and most of all that Jesus would extend such grace to me. I have become overwhelmed lately with how often I fail and how often HE redeems those failures. Miracles every day!
As so many have commented, there is nothing like a tragedy to make you appreciate what you have. My daughter was diagnosed with cancer at age three, just over two years ago. She has undergone chemotherapy, been under anesthesia too many times to count, and had an eye removed. She is still fighting it, yet every single day she wakes up with a smile on her face. She is my miracle.
I waiting for my miracle of the restoration of my marriage. My husband has been gone for almost 4 years and I pray for our family to be together again. Only God!
There are miracles all around us every single day. Some are large and most everyone notices, health or personal things to overcome, some are small and less noticed, like the flowers popping up, birds singing and the like. Most of us wish we’d had less large things come along that were tough, sad or challenging, but those are the times when God uses us to not only show our response to the challenges, but also how we either overcome them or get thru them with Him. Miracles are such neat things to talk about as so few people appreciate the things that someone undergoing a large issue wouldn’t take pleasure in – it’s all about perspective and thanking God we are on this side of heaven even thru tough stuff. Thanks for the opportunity!
My miracle son – who is now almost 5 months old – who was born almost exactly 1 year after his brother passed away. We were not supposed to be able to get pregnant again, but we found out on Mother’s Day 2011, four months after our little boy died, that we were pregnant. This new, amazing presence in our lives has filled our hearts with hope and joy again. Many, many miracles wrapped in one squeezable, huggable little package.
This would be perfect for my mother!! Everything regarding hosting and adopting my soon-to-be brother from Ukraine has been absolutely miraculous!!
My miracles are my children. I had cervical cancer and was told the chance of me ever having children would be slim to none. I now have two beautiful healthy daughters ,one is 5 and the other 18 months . I thank god for them every day as I can not imagine my life without them. It is amazing how much you love your children.
This last year I lost my grandmother to a stroke. She had lived with Alzheimer’s disease for the past several years and it was beginning to progress rapidly. She was no longer coherently with us the majority of the time. The stroke should have killed her almost immediately, at the very least left her immobile and unable to speak. When I arrived at the hospital my grandmother was talking and calling for EACH of us (kids and grandkids) by name and telling us how much she loved us and how precious we were to her. I cannot tell you how long it had been since my grandmother knew who we all were at any given time. We all got to say a final goodbye to our grandma and she was coherent and knew us. She went to sleep that night after and never fully woke up this side of heaven again.
One of my daughters was diagnosed with cancer at 5 weeks old. Scary though it was, God is faithful to fulfill His promises! She is turning 3 on August 7, and is completely CURED of cancer.
My 3 beautiful children. Especially my 3rd child who was born after a devastating miscarriage.
I have been blessed with several miracles with the same sweet little boy. At 9 weeks pregnant I began bleeding heavily due to some large blood clots on top of my water sac. They continued to grow larger and eventually (16 weeks pregnant) my water broke. We prayed and prayed to make it to 25 weeks with no infections- We made it and I was then put in the hospital on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy- the docs said I would be lucky to make it a week or two and I made it five more! My sweet boy was born at 30 weeks and spend over two long months in the NICU. Two weeks after we brought him home he suddenly stopped breathing and turned blue and went limp- by the time the ambulance arrived- he had resumed breathing and his color had returned! I was able to drive him to the ER myself and after a night of observation he was released. He has grown into this amazingly smart and sassy 2 year old boy! I feel like he is truly a miracle!!!!!
Not necessarily for me: I have a friend who gave birth 3 months ago. Unfortunately, her son was born early, and has 3 heart surgeries in his young life. I would love to say that he is healed, but alas, he is not. He and his parents are being flown home tomorrow (Wednesday) and he is being made as comfortable as possible. They’ve placed their child into God’s hands-I’m not sure how well I would be able to cope with that, to be honest. I know that this is the hardest decision my friends have made. He was their little miracle-he still is.
I’ve got three little miracles living under the same roof as me! Ages 6 1/2, 3 1/2, and 19 months. Thank you for the chance to win. What a beautiful necklace. Just yesterday I received the “dad’s keychain” I ordered for my husband for Father’s Day. It looks so perfect. I know he will love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My miracle is…Over a year ago my then 13 year old son was diagnosed with a brain AVM, a malformed cluster of veins in his brain. We were told he would need brain surgery to remove the malformation because it had a high risk of hemorrhaging. He had the surgery and I prayed like I have never prayed before and felt God’s strong presence and peace during the surgery. He recovered quickly and was walking around one week after the surgery and playing baseball 2 months after the surgery. His brain is beautiful and in fine working order as he has gotten straight A’s since the surgery. 8 months after the surgery he had an angiogram of this area in his brain and it was discovered that there was still a 1cm malformation. The doctor believes it is shrinking and he will have another angiogram this summer to verify that. God is still working his miracles and I have faith that the malformation will be gone!
I would like to nominate Kate Krull for the miracle necklace. I met their family through a prayer request on a blog(www.erikandkatekrull.blogspot.com) Her daughter Lucy (age 5) had beat neuroblastoma cancer and was in remission. She recently got very ill with meningitis and her cancer is back. She talks about Lucy being a miracle on their blog and it just brings tears to my eyes. I can’t even begin to believe the pain they are going through right now and they are strong in faith. The earthly prognosis isn’t good and we are praying for an earthly miracle but it is all up to God. Everyone take some time to read about this family and pray!
everyday I am blessed by the miricale of survival. my mother in law fights her battle everyday and manages to come out on top.
love her tons!
3 gorgeous kiddos in my life that I wasn’t “supposed” to be able to conceive. Most days they wear me out, sometimes, they even drive me Cu-RAZYY! but I wouldn’t change it for anything and love them like nothing else.
My darling children are precious miracles. A love between my darling and I is a total gift from God. Being able to come boldly to the throne of grace is more than I could have earned ~ total miracle. Blessngs
After our son was born, we wanted to have more children right away. It took 8 long years, but it finally happened. And we were blessed with twins!!
My miracle hasn’t happened yet.
But, I pray everyday and have faith that God will answer my prayers.
My son was hospitalized when he was 3 with a rare disease called HLH for short. Instead of giving him mono the virus caused his cells in his bone marrow to consume one another. We went three weeks without a diagonoses. His fever spiked to 106 and they had to put my poor baby on a cooling blanket. During this time they also put in a central line so they could draw blood. After a bone marrow biopsy and a blood transfusion we found out exactly what the disease was. This is almost always a fatal disease and the odds are 1 in a million. I’m thankful everyday that the treatment he received for the other thing they thought it was (kawasaki) to be exact was actually the treatment for HLH. He is now 5 and thriving…you would never have known he was so sick and he is my miracle.
My hubby and I are celebrating 5 years of marraige this year and 2 years of trying to conceive. Infertility is tough but I do believe miracles happen. We just don’t know yet what miracles our future holds.
I think of my mother who survived breast cancer. She is a miracle! I would love for her to have the necklace.
Meeting and marrying my best friend and soul mate and then having 5 amazing kids. Everyday I am reminded of how blessed I truly am!
My miracles are my boys! My first being born early and was healthy…he is a very loving 4 year old. My second mericle is my 10 month old who has been sick…but has always been happy and is finally doing better!!
I have many miracles in my life…but if I won this necklace I would give it to my sister in law Mindi. She and my brother are expecting after having a miscarriage. It was difficult getting pregnant at all…and so this pregnancy IS a miracle. She does have a few concerns though…a fibroid that could cause an issue and early diagnosis (13 wks) of gest. diabetes. So she is very worried about the baby…and if you read this and would pray for her I would really appreciate it!! But this baby is still a miracle….and I am so excited that they get to experience this together.
My mother is a walking miracle. Several years ago she starting having bleeding in her brain. The dr. couldn’t figure out where it was coming from and it was not an annurism. The prepared us for the worst that if she woke up that she may not remember us or she may have speech problems or a whole lot of other issues. Several days later, she woke up and remembered everyone and had no problems whatsoever. The dr.’s were completely amazed and had no explanation; however, I know…..God’s hand was in it all! Thank you Lord!
Well, my miracle hasn’t happened yet, but I’m praying to be cured of ovarian cancer. My 5 and 8 year old need that miracle!
I was diagnosed with lupus and other diseases when I was 11. The doctors told me I would be lucky to live past 18. Well they were wrong, God has bigger plans for me. I am 33 now. Praise the Lord.
The miracle I am waiting for is my preteen (soon to be officially a teen) daughter to stop showing attitude to me and her dad. Sigh.
I fell in love with prince charming & I’m gonna marry him on August 20, 2012
My two beautiful, happy, heathy, and energetic little girls!!
After losing a baby and two years of infertility, we welcomed our miracle daughter on May 24th.

My miracle was finding a new job. My old boss told me that he had taken a new position, and was leaving in 8 weeks, so his lab was closing, as the job he was taking was an administrative position. (This was exactly one day after my husband had quit his job and enrolled in massage therapy school full time, making me the only income in the family). It is very unusual to find another job in my field in just 8 weeks – especially since I had to stay at the same institution so my son could continue to get tuition benefits for his last 3 years of college. Praise the Lord I found something else that turned out to be even better than what I had.

So many great stories of miracles and blessings! My second son was diagnosed in utero with a rare birth defect that we were told may be linked to a fatal condition. Our specialist asked us several times to consider ending the pregnancy. We said absolutely not…we would be pleased with any child God blessed us with. Well, he was born had surgery at two days old, and is now a healthy, vivacious, precocious, joyful boy about to turn 7! He is our miracle baby!
As a follow up, my son is a nature-lover to the extreme. This beautiful butterfly necklace would remind me of all the time we have spent together collecting and “rescuing” (as he calls it) caterpillars and butterflies!!
My 2 precious babies after years of infertility are my miracles, Lauren Elizabeth and Peyton Joy!!!
Where do I begin? Thirty one years ago on a Christmas Day I lost the love of my life in a tragic aviation accident. He left me with a 3 year old, a 2 year old and twins that had just turned 6 months. When I came back home that fatidic night after identifying his body at the morgue my 3 year old daughter asked me how was Daddy…I told her that now he was in the presence of God and one day if Jesus was in our hearts we were going to be able to see him again. She grabbed my legs and said…Don’y worry Mommy…Everything is going to be Ok. That night my prayer was…Lord, I can’t do this by myself, I need your strenght…at that moment I felt a powerful force that got into my body and from then on everytime I felt dispair the only thing that will come out of my mouth were prayers and songs of praise to the Almighty. It has not been easy but I have trusted the Lord with all my heart and today those little children all finished college with advanced degrees and most of all they all trust the Lord as their Savior.
After kissing a lot of frogs, I finally met my prince and we married. Soon after, we wanted to begin our family, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as we had planned and we endured 5 miscarriages. My miracle in life came to me through the miracle of adoption. A beautiful 5 1/2 lb baby girl was sent to us as a gift from God and we have cherished every minute with her over the last 13 years. Many people do not experience a miracle in life, but I have been blessed to experience two of them! My second daughter arrived 4 years later.
Each day there are little miracles all around me. God woven through the fabric of my life makes each moment with Him a true miracle.

What a beautiful piece of jewelry, with an even more beautiful sentiment! I have not had a medical miracle in my life. Reading some of these comments is so inspiring. However, God does work miracles in many ways. I think the biggest miracle he has worked in my life is the fact that I have been able to have a healthy, stable adult life despite a very dysfunctional and extremely difficult childhood. God has helped me work through some very difficult emotional trials, and now I have a wonderful marriage and 3 beautiful children. I still depend on Him daily to help me face some of the shadows in my past, but with His help, I am surviving and thriving. I believe that is a miracle!
Our daughter is our miracle. I miscarried with our first child at 8 weeks, was told it was a molar pregnancy and had to go through 6 months of blood work. They also told me my chances of it happening again were high and molar pregnancies can turn cancerous. My mom had just passed away from cancer and just the thought of having to go through what I watched her go through was so scary. Thankfully we were able to get pregnant again with our second child, our little Sophie. She is such a joy and just celebrated her 1st bday! I would actually like to give the necklace to a local mom who I’ve been following on facebook who is believing for a miracle for her daughter who is fighting for her life at the Children’s Hospital.
I am still praying for my miracle … don’t get me wrong, I have been blessed with many already, but this is a big one that is on my heart right now. My husband is 41 years old and was diagnosed in March of this year with an inoperable brain stem tumor. Really, it is a miracle that he has been okay this long; the type of tumor that he has is typically pediatric, so he has most likely had it for years and years. I am praying for his total recovery from this tumor; God is still in the miracle business today! I know that may not be His will for us, but I pray … I want our daughter (13) and son (10) to have their dad around for a long long time … We don’t know what the future holds for us, but we trust in the one true God that does know what that future is!
My children!
Thanks for the giveaway1
My miracle is just gave birth to 3rd child
Sobriety of my husband and seeing God’s awesome power at work in our family.

We have experienced the miracle of adoption twice in bringing our daughters home from South Korea! We were also witnesses to the ultimate miracle of watching the best medical team in the country bring our daughter back from the brink after her very scary & life-threatening cardiac events in 2010. After her second open-heart surgery, she is now a healthy & vibrant 1st grader! Life is truly precious, each day is a gift and we are 100% sure that miracles do happen.
We are still waiting on our miracle…
Last October I found out that my youngest son was addicted to crack cocaine, after trying it only once three months prior. To make a long story short the Lord came into his life and has made a total change. When I found out I went into emergency mode and set the ball rolling to get him some help. After a couple of months he went into rehab during Chrismas, which during that time he had his 29th birthday. We missed him terribly but he stood strong. He got out this January and had a few relapses and has now got a foot hold, thanks be to God and a wonderful group of people at Victory church in OKC!! We feel so blessed because I know there are alot of parents that don’t see this result and in fact may lose a child completely to drugs. We now take just one day at a time and are thankful for the good days and don’t ever take them for granted. If anyone is going through this today, please don’t give up and don’t cave in. God will see you though no matter what the outcome. This experience has made our whole family stronger and closer to our Savior, which, as afterthought was His plan all along.
I was just 6 days ago put in remission for CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) I will be on meds the rest of my life to keep me in remission & I should not have to worry about relapsing… But there is a chance down the road… I went through 12 weeks of pill form chemo that was very hard & long road…. With Prayers, Faith & LOVE through it all kept me going to see the MIRACLES of mine still grow everyday to fine young men.. My boys stayed by my side each & everyday through a very tough time… They are 8 & 16… THEY ARE MY MIRACLES & I AM THEIRS
A few years ago I was afflicted with a “mystery disease” that no doctor was able to diagnose. The “virus” attacked all the nerves in my legs and I was unable to walk. After batteries of tests, countless doctors, and various therapies I was finally sent to a Rehab hospital where I had to learn to walk again. A year and 1/2 later I completely recovered without any residual deficits. To this day I know, that thru the power of prayer, a miracle occurred. Praise be to God who is The Great Physician!!!!
In December last year, we decided to have me stay home with my two kids which meant we weren’t going to be able to afford to keep our house. We started making partial payments and knew that we were going to have to try and get a modification if possible. Well a lady at church said she was praying for us and felt like the Lord told her to give us a certain amount of money. The money she gave covered the amount that was missing each month and caught up our mortgage and gave us a little extra for diapers and groceries…for the whole year!!
I agree with another poster that the miracles in my family’s life don’t compare to others. HOWEVER, I also share her sentiment that the biggest miracle to date is my marriage still intact. It should have been disposed of YEARS ago, but I have continued to have faith that we can make it. Seven years have passed, four children have blessed our lives and although we still struggle, we are working to fix what is broken instead of throwing it away.
Wow! The Lord has given us several miracles! Our 3 children are miracles after unexplained infertility.
It was a tiny miracle…I was stranded in New Mexico, out on the highway about 15 miles from town. So I started walking, thinking it I’d get to town before sundown. I misjudged, it was getting dark and cold and yeah, scary. A trucker came by, pulled over and offered a ride. Which was just as scary. But I accepted, putting faith in humanity’s basic goodness and it was a good I did. The trucker was the nicest guy, giving me fatherly advice about traveling and cars and he threw in some good jokes too. Never got his name, but he’s a forever-saint in my book.
Your decision for your giveaway will be challenging! I would give the necklace to a colleague who in the last 6 weeks has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, had a mastectomy and will begin treatment everyday for 6 weeks soon. They have 2 daughters 9 and 12 and I know she would love to wear their names around her neck so even on the days she feels lousy they are with her wherever she is. Thanks for the chance.
Getting pregnant with our second child when the odds were against it.
If I won I would give this necklace to my sister. She is a miracle. She survived stage 4 uterine cancer. She was diagnosed at 23. God has also provided two more miracles in our lives when He brought my niece and nephew to my sister and her husband through adoption.
My 2nd son was a NICU baby and dangerously ill…now he’s 16 months old and has no long term issues. He’s totally healthy and feisty as can be!
The biggest miracle in my life if that God loved me, a sinner and that I have new life in Him because of Jesus. That is the biggest miracle. I could tell you the little ways He has used me, or some of the bigger ones, but again, to me the miracle is that He choose me to use in the first place. He takes care of us, has always provided for my family, has been blessing my children so abundantly. For this I am thankful.

The miracle that happened in my life was becoming a Christian. My husband and I were near divorce and Jesus stepped in and saved us. That was 33 years ago. My husband went into the ministry and we had 2 children. Both are nowm married, with 2G grand kids and one due July 9! Thank you Jesus! My miracle is Him.

My son and I both serviced his birth, the Dr. said it was a miracle! She actually went out in the hall and prayed during the birth because she didn’t know what to do to help us, so I thank God every day for the miracle of my son and that I am here to enjoy him!

We were told at a young age we would NEVER have children…after 3 failed in-vitro attempts in our 20′s we quit trying and left it to God. 3 months later we had our newborn baby boy thru the MIRACLE of adoption (the greatest miracle of all was that in that VERY moment…my broken heart was COMPLETELY healed) that son is now 12 and an incredible guitar player…God went on to abundantly bless and fill my heart to overflowing with the addition of another son by adoption (now 9) and sweet baby girl from Korea (who is now 8) and then our exclamation point…a surprise pregnancy that we thought was the “flu” she is now 6.
I will never get over the miracle that is my sweet family!
After 5 years of fighting, my husband finally got some custody rights to his daughter!
I believe in miracles – just waiting for one to happen!
A few years ago my Grandmother who has acted as my own mom since mine passed away 9 yrs ago, Had a routine shoulder surgery..She flat lined on the table then her heart rate remained at 40.. She ended up recovering but when they called us back to see her she was as white as the background on this page..She said while she was under she saw all her family flash before her eyes…I believe she was having an experience w/ God. She said that she felt complete peace and comfort…This is the second time in her life she has been near death, When her oldest son was born she did die and they brought her back. She told me she prayed to God to let her see her son turn 18,he is 51 now
She has 1 husband they have been married to for 54 years, 2 Sons, 11 Grandkids, 4 Great Grankids and she has been our family rock! She will have a special place in heaven when she gets there I just know it! She is a miracle! God has been so good to give us such a wonderful person!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Over 6 years ago, my husband and I gave delivered my son in our bathroom by ourselves! He couldn’t wait for us to get to the hospital. My husband tied the cord with his shoelace! And praise God we were both fine! Our son weighed 9 pounds!
I really wanted to buy my own house. After I finally found one, it failed inspection, and I was stuck at square one. The next day, while driving around town w/ my parents, we stumbled upon an adorable bungalow house w/ a huge front porch, just perfect for me! I am SO thankful that God didn’t give me what I thought I wanted but what was his highest and best for me!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31 this year. I had to go for genetic testing. Because I was diagnosed pre-menopausal, we had to make sure that my cancer wasn’t due to a genetic mutation. I had to wait three weeks for the results and it was the longest three weeks of my life. I prayed daily that the results would be no, as that would mean I would have had to have had a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy to make sure that cancer didn’t return. I was overjoyed the day that I found out that the results were negative!!
I absolutely believe in miracles. My pregnancy from day one was a miracle and having both of my twins survive the pregnancy was another miracle. I am eternally grateful!
When our oldest daughter was just a baby – we were sitting outside at my father’s house that is surrounded by HUGE river willows. My husband was contemplating what would happen if a limb broke. There was no wind. Suddenly he heard a crack and instinctively knew what it was. As I raised his arm over his head – the branch that had broken from the main limb hit it. He had a large abrasion and a huge bruise. If his arm hadn’t been in that exact spot – the branch would have hit our baby daughter in the head.
Both of my children were–and are–miracles. First my daughter, whom I gave birth to after much effort, and then my son, whom we adopted from his blessed birth mom when he was just two days old. Love these kids!!
My daughter Isabella.
After many pregnancies and much heartbreak, she is our little miracle! <3
My children are my miracles. It gives me great joy to look at their beautiful faces everyday and know that I made those cute little noses, ears, eyes and smiles. =)

I think life is a miracle in and of itself. Waking up in the arms of a man I love, having the privilege of raising three beautiful children with him, the joys and the mundane and (sometimes) the sadness all intermixing into days turned into weeks turned into years. How marvelous it is that we are on this journey together!
My miracle is that God is still using my every day to reach others, to make a great marriage to help others, and to love others the way He loves me. Redemption and grace are the biggest miracles in my life.
I lost my father at a young age and struggled badly with anxiety and depression, these days i try to live to make him happy.

My sweet little princess was born at 26 weeks. Aubrey Rose amazes us daily by her beauty and strength. She is our miracle!
I am one who can say Miracles really do happen. I delivered my 2 miracles on May 12, 2010. My twin boys where born at 25 weeks,weighing 1 ound 12 ounces each, 12 1/2 inches long. They were placed on life support immediately. Each day I wondered whether my babies were gonna survive. At day 2 I was told that one of them had 2 bleeds on his brain and that to have 1 was bad but 2 he was gonna be severly affected and they would understand if we wanted to pull the plug. My husband and I made the decision not to because we believe that whats meant to be will be, so what life ,may be a little harder. Then at day 12 we were told that this same twin had an infection in his stomach and that if he doesnt have surgery he is going to die and if he does have the surgery he could possible die,at this point my son was 1 pound 6 ounces ,so again we made the decision to take the chance with the surgery and again my son pulled through. He has since had 4 more surgeries ,brain,heart,stomach again x 2. He spent a total of 8 months in the hospital and his twin spent 4 months in the hospital just one block away struggling with his lungs and eyes. So make a long story short, my two boys are living examples that miracles happen. I also wanted to to let you know that I found out about your jewelry in a magazine that someone brought me right after I deleivered. Once I got back on my feet I ordered a necklace for myself and a bracelet for my husband. He still wears his everyday with multiple compliments and my necklace broke and I was unable to find the pieces. Once I got mine and wore it to work 3-4 more women at work ordered as well, Your Jewelry is awesome.

Hi there! I am a college student working on my second degree… I have an amazing family, good friends and awesome sorority sisters, and the most understanding, loving boyfriend a girl could ask for. When someone looks at me, they would not see that at age 17 I was diagnosed with Turner syndrome. Remember how I said my boyfriend was understanding? Turner syndrome leaves most women unable to have children. This syndrome has effected my math, driving skills, stature, and other ways that are hard to explain… But mostly my plans for my future. I absolutely love children, one of my majors in school is child life; which prepares children for medical procedures and helps them cope with things associated with hospital activities. So hearing that I can not have children of my own was hard to swallow… I am so blessed to be with a man who loves me and is wants to have a family however possible and does not seem to be phased by this… Now the reason I believe I am a “miracle” is because through all this I have been a deans list student, and kept strong in my faith and have allowed God to show me what to do with this… Also because most fetuses with Turner syndrome are never born… So I feel like I am so blessed to be given such an amazing life. The symbol for Turner syndrome is the butterfly, and this necklace embodies the essence of support perfectly.
