Our Heart's Desire Is Our Littlest Miracle Benay Wharton

It is hard as a parent of a sick child to watch him/her undergo serious surgery at such a young age. That describes the feeling Benay Wharton and her family felt as her youngest son Seth endured three open-heart surgeries by the age of thirteen. His health testimony is explored more through Benay's new book, Our Hearts' Desire is Our Littlest Miracle, as Benay recalls how Seth remained a ball of energy despite his health crises. With each surgery, the family came to God in prayer, seeking the blessings in the troubles, and learned to be vessels for the Lord. Benay found this true in her own health situation, with a cervical cancer diagnosis and hysterectomy, while the family endured a work-related court battle during Seth's second surgery. No matter the circumstance that befell the Whartons, they remained together as a family through crisis while letting go and letting God.
