Weeks of Miracles

Well I guess I should elaborate on my dad's accident. Or rather incident, as there are no accidents.
He was on a motorcycle ride with his friends, they had been gone all day.
Outside of Delta, they were on a mountain road, curving up the mountain.
His friends were a curve ahead when the realized my dad was not with them.
They turned around to find my dad sprawled out on the ground.
He told them he had been turning left, following the curve of the road, when a huge gust of wind came from the left and lifted his bike up in the air, with him still on it.
He remembers seeing a mile marker before he hit the ground.
His right light hit the mile marker, fracturing both the bones in his lower leg. He broke 6 vertebra (nothing that will impare him though), and 3 ribs.
a week and a half in the hospital with two surgeries.
The thing about the surgeries is a miracle.
After the first surgery the doctor told us that he set the bone perfectly, but there was not enough skin on his leg to cover it. Without the skin the bone could not heal properly. So they were going to have to do at least 3 more surgeries.
But a miracle happened.
The second surgery was to inspect the wound without the swelling that was present during the first one, and to remove any more dead or dying skin on the wound. But as it turns out there was no more dead or dying skin on his leg, allowing the doctors to close the wounds (with blue thread and staples mind you).
So many small and large miracles have happened in my life in the last two weeks, I would be a fool to not see God's hand in all of them!
So, Thank you Heavenly Father. Thank you for saving my dad, for saving us money, for giving my family a chance to become closer together. Thank you for your eternal grace that allows me to repent and be forgiven of my sins.
I know that my Heavenly Father loves me, and that he is watching out for me and my family. I know that I can be with my family forever.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
