We are always waiting for the “big things” to happen to us so that we can bear our testimonies that God truly lives, and what of the “little things “that keep us going each day. A lady had a very loving husband who was the toast of all single women in their neighborhood. This lady had no child, and she wanted one so badly. She, not being able to have a child, began to affect her so badly that it was tearing her marriage apart. Her only focus was on how to get this “miracle” baby. She felt God had neglected her and grew so distant from her family that she neglected her duties at home. She was breaking the heart of her family and, most importantly, her husband. Thereafter, her husband was diagnosed with Cancer. She began to see things differently.” Life “had become important to her than anything else. She prayed fervently for God to heal her dying husband. Unfortunately, her husband lost the battle with cancer and died. After her husband’s death, she realized how she had not been thankful enough to God for all the wonderful things around her and, most importantly, for “life”.
You either live by the fact that every day is a miracle, or every day is no miracle. Let’s learn to appreciate the little things we have, for God is everywhere working miracles for us. Let us thank God when we get up in the morning, when we drop our kids off at school, when we arrive safely at work, and when we get back home safely. Let us look at our families, coworkers, friends and neighbours and thank God for these wonderful people He has given us to affect each other’s lives. Life is indeed a blessing.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” Psalm 103:2
Every day is a Miracle
