We are a tough crowd. Maybe in several respects. But when it comes to miracles, we (I (if you must)) are a tough crowd. We have in many instances concluded that a miracle is external and/or visible, is for our benefit or at least someone we know and that a miracle is not something that happens everyday (like the sun coming up), not something that closes a door or is painful, cannot be explained, and not something that required my sacrifice or effort. As Jesus demonstrated, God is one of creative, unusual, new, and awesome miracles. There are these miracles. But if that’s all we see as miracles, it would be like only seeing love as when our beloved provides extravagant plans or gifts for us. Could it be that we miss a thousand miracles, because God let’s someone else take credit for them, slides them into our everyday life, includes us in making them happen, and even provides miracles that close doors? Pray the prayer today: "God open my eyes to miracles...” and see what happens.
