| Everyday Miracles Little miracles happen everyday... ...but sometimes we are so busy we miss them. What are miracles ?? Perhaps miracles are simply those special everyday things that happen...the simple things that make us smile, or even shed a tear.....or laugh loudly. They are the simple things that remind us we are all human. Keep your eyes open and watch out for these everyday miracles and write them down for others to share and enjoy.
The other day,
while stopping at a community centre for coffee, a lady in a wheel chair was positioned by
her husband at a table in front of me. Both looked weary and uneasy about her obvious
illness. Leaving her briefly he returned with a pie on a plate and a sauce bottle which he
happened to squeeze and carefully drew a smile on the top of the pie. As he did so she
laughed and awkwardly leaned forward to hug him. He grabbed her arm and together they
stared into each other’s eyes seemingly grateful for the precious moments they were
still able to share with each other. For me, the innocent observer, who was privileged to
share in their joy, my only visible response was tears…but they also were
overwhelming tears of gratitude. Our days are full of such miracles and often we don’t bother to find the moment to stop and enjoy and celebrate them together.
