MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Church with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
PAIN TURNED INTO PROMISE
Probably few people have affected life in the 20th century more than C.S. Lewis. With 30 books read worldwide, Lewis became one of the most significant proponents of the Christian faith. A professor at Oxford University in England, his clear-cut but basic explanations of truth touched multitudes seeking answers to the meaning of life. In a symbolic sense, his life was a miracle.
Over the years, the story of his relationship with Helen Joy Grisham and their marriage surfaced. The Jewish born Christian author from America became the joy of C.S. Lewis’ life (He preferred to be called Jack rather than C.S.). The movie Shadowlands chronicled their deep love for each other and Jack’s struggle with grief. (You can get the video of Shadowlands and will be inspired)
The movie only features Joy Grisham’s son Douglas. Actually, her other son David was a paranoid violent schizophrenic and was left out of the movie to avoid distraction. However, Douglas story is significant and a witness by itself. Recently, I heard Douglas Grisham reflect on his relationship with Jack and that is a story unto itself.
Joy Grisham had broken her leg, revealing a terminal cancer eating the femur bone away. The case was hopeless and she was given weeks or months at best. Nine-year-old Douglas was faced with the loss of his mother and life in a foreign land. Everything in his world was about to disappear. He was devastated.
Douglas walked down to Holy Trinity Church to pour out his grief. As he reached the entry gate something happened. He seemed to have crossed from one reality to another. His prayerful pleas had propelled him into another reality. To this day, he cannot find words to adequately describe what happened, but he knew he had come face to face with another world of angels and the Holy Spirit. Douglas walked into the church and fell on his knees.
A voice spoke. “Can you live without your mother?” Douglas thought for a moment and answered. “No, I don’t think I can.” The voice said, “Then it is fixed.” Divine peace settled over Douglas. He got up and walked home with all fear and anxiety gone.
That very afternoon Joy Grisham Lewis’ cancer went into remission, and she lived on into other years. A miracle indeed.
Seems that the Holy Spirit responds best to the grief and anguish of a hurting heart. No matter the situation, He promised to always be there …and is!
