Miracles
We tend to talk about miracles more during the holiday season, but little do we know they are happening every day, all day and throughout the year.
I stand in awe and amazement at the many miracles that happen in my life daily.
Miracles are things that occur in our lives that are extraordinary and beyond our norm. They are unexplainable and defy all odds. They happen daily and they go unnoticed.
Aside from the official definition of miracles I see them also as coming through a bad thunderstorm warning without a loss of life or damage to any property. They are when our heart beats rhythmically and we breath without effort. We do this automatically unless we develop some type of health problem. To be able to put one foot in front of the other, breath fresh clean air, receive healing from an excruciating headache, make wise decisions and travel without any incidence of hurt, harm or danger is a miracle. I also believe that it’s a miracle to be able to use our five senses; hear, see, taste, touch and smell. So many things can go wrong so quickly. This was so important to make note of when the world was faced with the Covid19 pandemic unexpectantly. Some people were experiencing a sudden loss of taste and smell, which indicated they had come into contact with or had contracted the virus. They were so glad to regain their ability to taste and smell. I see this as one of the million little miracles that happens in our life.
I love a song that I heard recently that is so true. It’s called Million Little Miracles, written by Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music.
“All my life, I've been carried by grace
Don't ask me how 'cause I can't explain
It's nothing short of a miracle I'm here
I've got some blessings that I don't deserve
I've got some scars, but that's how you learn
It's nothing short of a miracle I'm here
I think it over and it doesn't add up
I know it comes from above
I've got miracles on miracles
A million little miracles
Miracles on miracles
Count your miracles
One, two, three, four, I can't even count 'em all
I encourage you to listen to this song at your earliest convenience and to start counting your miracles each day. I believe you will not be able to count them all.
