"That boy loves working on cars."Debbie Gullett smiled,glancing out the window of her home to see her son James tinkering with an Oldsmobile.
James,27,wasn't a mechanic,but he was always fixing the cars of friends-like Alvin Mullins,who needed a filter changed.To get at it,James had driven the car's front wheels onto two ramps he positioned in the driveway.
"It's not going anywhere."he had told himself after checking to make sure the car was solidly in place,then crawled underneath.
Now,three hours later,he was almost finished when suddenly,he heard a loud creak.
Turning his head,James gasped.One of the ramps had slipped on the soft dirt of the driveway-and the car was rolling backward!
"Get out!"James told himself.But before he could move,the leftfront tire rolled over his chest-pinning him."Ow!"he wailed.
What's that?Debbie wondered.Peeking out the window,her eyes went wide in horror.Dear Lord!she gasped,I've got to save him.
"Help!"she cried,racing outside.
"I can't breathe!"James groaned.
I've got to do something-now!Debbie panicked.But what?And how?The 43-year-old hairdresser rarely lifted anything heavier than a blow-dryer.
God,give me strength!She prayed as she gathered all the power in her 145-pound frame and lifted.As she strained she heard a sharp snap!
My back!She thought to herself and felt hot pain shooting through her.But slowly,she felt the car rise……an inch……three inches……six inches……
"I'm out!"she heard James shout a second later.But when she turned to her son,she collapsed,unable to move,her back on fire.
Just then,neighbors rushed up.Someone had called 911,and within minutes both James and Debbie were in an ambulanc.Taking her hand,James said softly,"Thanks for saving me,Mom."
He'd soon get a chance to pay her back.Though incredibly,James suffered only bruises;Debbie had broken a vertebra in her back and spent several days in the hospital.
Later,while she recovered at home,James became her arms and legs,seeing to her every need.
"It was incredible what she did,"James says now,still amazed that his mother found the strength to lift the almost two-ton Oldsmobile.
Debbie too is amazed at the strength she managed to muster.But she thinks the explanation might be love."I couldn't just stand there thinking my son was terribly hurt and do nothing,"she explains.
她所做的令人难以置信！

“这孩子就是喜欢捣鼓汽车。”黛比·格莱特微笑着望着窗外正在修理一辆奥尔兹汽车的儿子詹姆斯。
27岁的詹姆斯并不是机修工，但他总在帮朋友修车——比如帮阿尔文·马林斯换个过滤器。为了方便修理它，詹姆斯发动汽车，将车前轮开到车道上事先放好的墩子上。
前前后后检查了一遍，确认汽车已经固定好后，他嘀咕着：“搞定，它这下哪儿也去不了了。”然后趴到了车下。
三个小时过去了，他已经基本上完工了，突然，他听到一些吱吱嘎嘎的响声。
转头一看，他不禁倒吸了一口气。其中一个墩子在车道的松土上滑动，并且汽车开始往下滑。
“快出去！”他心想。但说时迟，那时快，车的左前轮已经压在他的胸口上将他卡住了。“哎哟！”他哀号起来。
怎么了？黛比感到奇怪。她往窗外一瞥，不禁吓得目瞪口呆。上帝啊！她几乎不能呼吸，心想：我一定得救他。
“救命！”她冲了出去，边跑边喊。
“我没法呼吸了！”詹姆斯呻吟道。
我得做点儿什么——立刻！黛比在惊慌中想。可该做什么呢？怎么做呢？这位43岁的理发师除了吹风机外没有举过更重的东西了。
主啊，请赐给我力量！她一边积聚力量一边祈祷着，然后往上举。当她绷紧身体时听到了清晰的喀嚓一声。
我的背！她自言自语道，急剧的疼痛袭击了她全身。但她感觉到车子一点点儿地被抬了起来……一英寸……三英寸……六英寸……
“我出来了！”不一会儿她就听到了詹姆斯的欢呼声。但是当她想回身看儿子时，她倒下了，一动也不能动，她的背正火烧火燎的。
就在这时，邻居们赶到了。有人打了911急救电话。几分钟后，黛比和詹姆斯都被送上了救护车。詹姆斯抓着母亲的手，轻轻地说：“妈妈，谢谢您救了我！”
他很快就可以报答她的背了。令人难以置信的是，詹姆斯只受了些轻微的擦伤。黛比背部椎骨断裂，住了几天院。
出院回家后，詹姆斯成了她的左膀右臂，照顾她的一切起居。
“她当时所做的太不可思议了。”现在想起来詹姆斯还这么说，对他妈妈当时能将几乎两吨重的奥尔兹汽车举起来仍然惊叹不已。
黛比也为自己当时所爆发出来的巨大力量而感到惊诧。但她觉得这可能是因为爱。她说：“我不能眼睁睁地站在那儿看着自己的儿子身受重伤却什么都不做。”
感悟有一种力量是奇迹，奇迹的名字叫“母亲”。
