Everyday Miracles

© By Kathy Armijo

 

 

Looking back upon my life

I contemplate the successes

And the dreams gone awry

Why did things turn out this way?  Why?

 

So, I choose to see life as everyday miracles

The near miss of a car whose driver is oblivious to me

Getting to every intersection and having a green light

Filling my heart with such delight

 

The unexpected kindness of a stranger …

Experiencing more joy than anger …

Seeing the scale’s needle not going up

Even after overeating my sup

 

A neighbor sharing the bounty of their garden

A child picking a weed’s flower just for me

The unexpected call from an old friend

When I am at my wit’s end

 

Finding money in the laundry tub

AND, it is the exact amount I need

Just as the exterminator rings the doorbell, I am dumbstruck

What a stroke of luck

 

Yet, I choose to think of luck

As an everyday miracle

His timing is perfect

Why was I so panicked?

 

Everyday miracles …

His love for me shines through

All I have to remember to do

Is say, “Thank you!”

Every night our family talks about the blessings we have received during the day...the everyday miracles that we have received. I find myself looking for all the little things I can be thankful for each day...most of all, I am thankful for a loving Father in Heaven who sees fit to guide us every day.

I am also struck by the tiny little things He does to say He cares about me... who am I that He would do that? Me, in the awe of the God who made you. --Charlie

just being here, is a miracle -- everything else is far too much to even expect -- there is the wisdom of one of abiding faith in your poem -- your poem captures the essence of miracles, large and small -- we are blessed with them all -- a spiritually uplifting poem Kathy -- thanks for sharing -- God bless -JMW

Everyday miracles come to us all and we surely do appreciate the small surprises they sometimes bring. God does look after his own each and every day. Gifts are given according to his will. Never believe a miracle cannot happen in your life, it can and will.

Certainly seems that way at times doesn't it. Today was Deb and my 20th anniversary and we were both broke and I even rolled all my coin to scrape together enough for her and I to go out for supper....
small miracle...our kids came to visit last night with a gift certificate for two to a restaurant. Kids are miracles for sure.
