Miracles In My Life
Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given. – Psalm 105:5
In about two weeks I will become a grandmother. I am blessed to be able to be in South Carolina and share the last weeks of my daughter’s pregnancy with her. Every time I see her I am reminded of what a miracle childbirth is. Then this morning I read Beth’s devotion about the solar eclipse. I was lucky enough to be in Cleveland and witness it from atop a 12-story building. The simultaneous sunrise and sunset during the total blackout window was amazing and I remember thinking what a miracle the solar cycle is. But every day there are miracles in my life. The daffodils are blooming outside my window. Yesterday I “attended” church with my friends from 500 miles away thanks to the miracle of live streaming. Last week my grandnephew, who was born 15 weeks early, went home as a perfectly healthy baby, thanks to the miracle of modern medicine.
I have been watching “The Chosen.” One of the themes of the series is the miracles Jesus performs as a way for his disciples and others to understand who He is. The miracles Jesus performed were big ones, bringing sight to the blind, feeding the multitudes, walking on water, and raising the dead. We don’t see miracles like these in our daily lives, but I propose we experience miracles every day. I hope to always see them as just that and feel blessed and appreciative of the gift they are.
Prayer: Gracious God, thank you for the miracles in our lives, the big ones and the small ones. Help us to see them as reminders of your divine power and to strengthen our faith in your plan for all.

during Lent, apparently on March 24th)
