I came across that quote the other day and it struck a chord with me...so the question is; which camp do you find yourself in? I know people who look at the world and point to the science that explains it as proof there is no God. And I know people, myself included who do just the opposite. Science only underlines what an amazing God has set the whole cosmos in motion and who maintains it in perfect harmony. You simply need to make the choice to see things that way.
Think just of the people in your life, what they add to the colour and texture of your existence. I have one friend who calls me her "accidental" friend. I love that. I needed a babysitter, what I got was a friend-a whole new circle of friends in truth. A miracle. Being able to translate the difficult places I have walked into encouragement for another friend finding herself in similar places another miracle.
My beautiful daughter, born, unplanned two years after a tubal ligation, is no accident or medical statistic, but a miracle. All of my children are miracles.
I'm still standing, after all the times life has tried to knock me down, and standing strong, living with hope & joy. I call that a miracle.
William Blake wrote To see a World in a Grain of Sand /And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,/Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand /And Eternity in an hour. The Romantics saw God in everything...and while I don't hold to their whole philosophy I do like the notion of seeing God everywhere. There is real peace and joy in that, to my mind.
Tomorrow, really watch the sun rise, tonight, watch the sun set. Take a moment, see spring beginning to awaken. All miracles, if you choose to see life as wonder-full, awesome (as the word was intended, not as we bastardized it years ago). You are a miracle.
Choose life. Choose to see the miracle.
