My life is a miracle!

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, and the other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein

“Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.” Rose Kennedy
My life is a miracle. I don’t know about you, but when I look at where I am today-forget perfect, for who or what is?-I know that there are miracles in life. We are the ones who will know and accept that God has been good to us in so many unexpected ways. We are the only ones who will remember that but for the grace of God, we could have been in some terrible situations.
My life is a miracle. I made some inappropriate choices, and did some crazy things-but I have been forgiven, and given many chances. That is a miracle. Some of us are ashamed to talk about the goodness of God, especially when it comes to some of the crazy things we did. And I UNDERSTAND. And I do not have to know your details, nor do I have to share mine. But at least I can declare that my life is a miracle.
When you have lived long enough to know what it is like to narrowly escape some serious stuff, then you know that your life is a miracle, and the importance of the small pleasures in life are to be relished.
I open my eyes in the morning, and when the realisation has really sunk in that I made it through the night and I am alive-that’s a miracle! I celebrate that moment. There have been times that I have had to fear for my health, and my life-so you can understand why I believe that my life is a miracle.
Please, never underestimate the pleasures and goodness in your life. Be grateful for all that you have, all that you enjoy. When I consider that I know what it feels like to have lost everything, and still be blessed today with all that I need-that is a miracle!
It is a miracle to breathe, to know that you are alive. To know that you have another day to be a blessing and contribute to life, and to live the best on this given day. Life is a miracle.You will notice that the trend of this weeks’ columns is about appreciation, looking within and truly seeing all that is important in life.
I will always maintain that life is good in spite of all its challenges. It is not very comforting to compare your life to someone else’s who may not be as fortunate, but doing so should open your eyes to how much of a miracle yours is! Be grateful! for your life, for the simple pleasures and the happy moments. They are all miracles.
Be Encouraged!
