Miracles stil l happen through faith, hope, and love. “Prayers are the key to Heaven”, but faith unlocks the door.” Southwest is very much a praying church. How well I know! Prayers were petitioned for my special, Aunt Wilma my “second mother” and for my brother, Eddie. God heard, answered, and beckoned them both, within the same week’s time. We must all be ready when God beckons us.In Christian Love,Teresa Hurst Edwards
