Miracles

When day greets the world with bliss,

And I can at least catch a glimpse,

Of the radiant sun and nature’s beauty;

I can’t help but thank God for a miracle.

For not everyone sees the day after night,

And I certainly am not better than them.

 

When I sit at table with my family,

And we can share grace happily,

I think of the orphan and the hungry;

I surely am not better than them.

Then I thank God for this miracle,

For it is by His grace.

 

When I step out for a walk,

And I can wave at someone;

And walk many thousand steps,

I remember the crippled one,

And the one who cannot use his hands.

They are not lesser than me;

But God gave me this miracle.

 

What would you say a miracle is? It doesn’t happen only once in a long time, I believe. It happens all the time, and a second is too great an interval maybe. When you breathe, hear a kind word; just smile, for every moment or activity that happens in a day comes with some miracle.

Even the misfortunes and the bad days are not so bad when you consider them. They come with a miracle – a blessing in disguise.

We all in one way or the other take lots of things for granted, forgetting that other people just like us are not so lucky. If not for anything at all, be thankful for the gift of life each day.

God gives us thousands of miracles each day and I hope you’ll see them when they happen and that you’d be thankful to God always. I believe reading this is someone’s miracle today;  just the words they need to be encouraged to go through the day.
