Small Miracles

2018-04-01

Miracles. Everybody always gets so worked up over that word. But you only ever hear about these strange, over-the-top things, like a bleeding crucifix, or a statue of the Virgin Mary that cries, or the mysterious remission of cancer in Great Aunt Sally.

Nobody ever really talks about the little miracles that happen every day. The couple that tried for years to have a baby, and suddenly are expecting. The child that spent his whole ten years of life in the foster system, now getting adopted. The stranger who helps the homeless. Or even the first cry of a newborn.

All of these—each and every one—are miracles at least as precious as those founded in a particular faith, and are just as worthy of our awe and recognition.

So, what miracles have you witnessed today?
