The Miracles of Everyday Life
All of us can think of miracles that have happened to us or other people.
How about the car accident that you were not involved in? How about the health issue that suddenly reversed itself? How about the person who called you at the exact moment you were thinking of them?
But, what about the everyday miracles? Do we consider these?
Here is an example from everyday life. I open my refrigerator in the morning, and it is full of fresh food. How do it all get there? Yes, either my wife or myself bought it at the grocery store. How did it get it to the store? Who planted the seeds? Who harvested the food? Who packaged it? Who delivered to the store? Who stocked the shelves? When I think about these things, I realize that so many people have helped to keep our refrigerator full.
Yes, I think about these things. And, this is a miracle in my world.
Our lives are full of these little miracles. When I go in the bathroom, I turn a knob and water comes out. That’s a miracle.
When I pull up to a gas pump I open the side of my car, pour gas into it, and it runs again for another 300 miles or so. How does it do that? It’s a miracle.
How about going even more basic. How about the fact that I wake up in the morning. My heart has been beating all night…
