Those small miracles, when you think about it, can be attributed to just luck or circumstance, I guess. But the longer I live, the more I've come to trust the Lord. Many times I've been distraught about something or had some problem that seems insurmountable and just gave it to the Lord and known that he take care of it. Some how it gets resolved or it turns out to be not as bad as it seemed.

well, you can never really know for sure about the cause ("God works in mysterious ways" and all that) but you can cultivate both faith/trust in God's love and "an attitude of gratitude" for whatever good either in large or small things that comes into your (or my) life. then, if you (or me) experience a "miracle" (however small) we can and should seriously think about becoming an instrument of God's love and help for others showing our gratitude by sharing that love and help to others---"paying it forward" as it were and just maybe becoming small "miracles" of love and kindness ourselves.


in the peace of Christ.

I prayed for the sun to rise over the eastern horizon this morning, and lo and behold it did! God is so great! And I obviously have a special favored relationship with God...I'm special in his eyes!

It's even more special when you become aware of the sun rising in the world within you faithfully every morning.
