In times when it seems that the world is going to hell in a gasoline handbasket I still believe in miracles. I’ve been blessed and am blessed daily and have no choice but to believe in miracles. In my 32 years I’ve seen and experienced some things that cannot be explained.
mir·a·cle
An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.
As November becomes December and we get in a frenzy about the holidays its important that we not lose sight as to what the holidays are really about…the holiday season is rooted in MIRACLES.
No matter what you personally believe in, you cannot deny that all of the rituals, observances, and symbols surrounding this time of year are rooted in miracles…The miracle of the fat man in a red suit flying with reindeer sliding down chimneys with gifts, the miracle of enough olive oil for one night lasting 8 nights during the re-dedication of the temple, and the birth of Jesus to a virgin.
While we celebrate all of these things it often seems that many of us are reluctant to really believe in miracles. Yet when we examine our own lives everyone of us can attest to miracles.
Today I’m thinking about a conversation I had a few weeks ago with a friend. We were talking about worrying and how worrying doesn’t help things. I had a similar conversation this afternoon with my big sister. It has taken me many years to understand that worry causes stress and stress manifests mess. I now live free of stress because I KNOW without a doubt that I am blessed.
This same time 7 years ago I was sick riddled with Sarcoidosis barely able to get out bed some days and on an assortment of medications getting shots in my hip! (I HATE needles). Today I’m healthy, I feel great, and I’m not on any medication 
(Thank God).
I remember standing on the bus stop at 4am to get to the train station to catch another bus to get to work by six. I remember working late (after the bus stopped running) and having to call friends and family for rides home. I remember the days of rain and cars passing by drenching me on the bus stop. I recall days of missing buses and trains by a second. I recall days when buses just passed me by…I remember when my first car a 1983 Buick Regal threw a rod on a bridge in Virginia.
I remember when the transmission in my old Chrysler, Taurus, and Fairmont died. I have the painful memory of losing the Palm My Ride Contest in which I was competing for a new Ford Mustang. I remember the day before Christmas last year when our car was stolen (got it back hours later that same day).
This year, The day after Thanksgiving we were blessed with a new car.
Today I’m driving a 2008 Camry! (God is Good).
I believe with all my heart that my Maker is well aware of my needs and has it all under control (my every need is supplied) no matter how things may look to my natural eye. It’s not our place to worry about anything. A few weeks ago a friend expressed concern about praying and waiting for things to happen, her view is its about taking action. I get that… After all, faith without works is dead…
However, I know the power of prayer and have seen it at work in my life. My prayers are answered. Sometimes I have to wait for the answers to manifest because God works in His time not mine. Miracles and prayer go hand in hand. Miracles and blessings are very real! Prayer is powerful. No matter what the situation, no matter how dismal things may seem, we all have access to divine intervention.
Nothing is impossible to those that believe.

I also believe it. I think Miracles happens all the time but we can’t notice that. If anyone keep an open eye then it can be seen.
Many years ago I realized that NO-THING should exist. Clearly I was looking at it from a very limited perspective, but the thought still persisted: NOTHING should exist.
Yet, when I looked around not only did THINGS exist, I was one of those THINGS.
Yet, the thought persisted: NOTHING should exist.
As I probed the thought, I come to realize that since THINGS did I exist, despite my clear feeling that they shouldn’t, this existence of THINGS constituted a miracle.
I knew God as All That Is Seen and All That Is Not Seen. Yet, even the existence of God was, and is, a concept hard to fathom, to get one’s thoughts around.
How is it possible for SOMETHING to have no beginning, not to mention being Self-created?
Since I have unimpeachable proof (at least for me) that He exists, my mental exercise did not require that I establish His existence, just make the effort to comprehend the existence of THAT that shouldn’t exist, namely, God.
This miraculous notion–the existence of THAT that shouldn’t be–imbued me with an almost unbearable ecstasy, defying description, even now, when contemplated.
Now, I think of God more as the Grand SOMETHING, rather than the Grand NOTHING out of which All That Is emerged, that THAT SOMETHING is the Grand REALITY, and has always been.
What an amazing thought–THAT which has always existed as SOMETHING in the Great Forever. How Miraculous!
What a Grand FEELING!
I do believe in miracles also. I don't think you have to be religious either, it's like having hope. Keeping a good positive attitude on life and showing each other support is a good start. I haven't had any astonishing miracles happen to me lately, but I've had many miracles happen to me in the past. One includes getting out or a car accident. Another not getting hurt on the job. I used to work at a very dangerous place as a security officer and at times there were scary scenes. I'm just glad nothing bad happened.
I think you’re awesome!!! Everybody that gives God the glory are awesome beings. God is good and… you’re right, he supplies our every need. He knows what we need and when we need it. All your worries can be given to God. Sometimes we want to be too much in charge. It is time to step aside and let God take care of your life for you! After all he is the Almighty!!! You Go Girl!!!
