True Compassion

I want to thank you for bringing hope back into my life this morning. My son went to prison yesterday. A year ago he was driving drunk and hit a young boy his own age, and the boy was in a coma for several months. Miraculously, my son did not even break one bone, even though he went through the windshield. The good Lord saved both their lives for a reason.
I have prayed for the other boy every day. I have prayed for his parents, as he was their only child. I prayed for one thing at a time....
I prayed for him to open his eyes... he did.
I prayed for him to wake up from his coma... he did.
I prayed that his brain would function... it does (though he cannot remember the accident).
I prayed that his trach be removed so that he could talk ... it was finally removed last month but he still cannot talk.
His stomach tube was removed but he still cannot eat solid food.
I believe in miracles and I know he is going to get better... that is my constant prayer.
All along, I have concentrated on this boy and his family and I want to mention that they are a wonderful Christian family who holds no ill feelings for my son.
We were truly blessed that we never had to endure the tortures that we could have felt from these people. I have neglected to be so fervent in my prayers for my son. Yesterday, I visited these people and asked them to pray for my son.
When we went to court all they asked for was an apology and for my son to seek counselling. He still had to make amends for what he did wrong, but without their compassion this whole ordeal would have been an unbearable cross to bear. Whoever thinks there is no one left in this world who has compassion for others is wrong. These people have every right to be angry... but they chose to be not. God bless them. They have been our gifts from God.
God gives us many chances to acknowledge His grace toward us, but sometimes we only deal with present situations. He has always been there for us. He spared my son and I know He will get us through the next hurdle when the time is right. Please pray for my son. I know this will be his greatest test. But maybe now that he has plenty of time on his hands, he can think about how much he has been blessed, asking God to show him the way forward.
Our gifts from God are so abundant and so free. What we have to learn is to accept them and do something beautiful with them.
Thank you for allowing me to express these thoughts...
A grateful mother.
