Today I was looking on MSN and saw a story about the Staker family. They are a family from Provo who witnessed an amazing miracle. The mom was bathing her 16-month-old baby, Bronson and his brother, and she stepped out for just a few minutes. She heard the other boy screaming, and when she ran back in, Bronson was lying face up in the bathtub with blue lips and no color in his face. She tried to rescusitate him, but he was unresponsive. The ambulance came and took him to the Emergency Room, where he was pronounced Dead on Arrival. They kept doing CPR and finally his heart started again. I won't tell the entire story here, but it is an amazing story. He was "dead" for at least 11 minutes, probably more. They didn't think he would survive, and even if he did, he would have severe brain damage. But he lived, and he is just the same as he was before. It is an amazing story. The Staker's Blog tells all the details. It is hard to read, and I tried my best not to cry while I was sitting at work reading it. But I couldn't pull myself away. It is such a miraculous story, and Sara's testimony is so powerful. This story truly shows that Heavenly Father is watching us and can hear us. My testimony has been strengthened by this family that I have never even met, and it made me remember to cherish the things that I have and not worry so much about the worldly things.
