Mary Lloyd - You can serve in any circumstance

This interview is one I never imagined I'd be conducting on the Miracle Hotline. My mother, Mary Lloyd, has been courageously battling a severe form of ALS that has been advancing slowly over the past decade. She went from being a vibrant and active part of our lives—working full-time, caring for her grandchildren, hosting family dinners and gatherings, and taking care of her husband, Bob, whose health was also declining until he passed away in 2014—to gradually losing her mobility. Her legs were the first to be affected, followed by her arms, and now she can only speak.

Throughout this journey, we have fervently prayed for her healing. Despite being under the care of numerous specialists and healers, her condition has continued to deteriorate. To me, witnessing my mother’s struggle has felt like the polar opposite of a miracle. 

However, after my last conversation with Alex Mobley, I began to see adversity through a different lens—one where even the most challenging experiences can hold miraculous qualities. This shift in perspective inspired me to interview my mother to explore whether she, too, could find a sense of miracle within her profound struggle.
