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!”

God has a special purpose for you.
Amen

Unfortunately many spend so much time complaining they leave very little time for appreciation. A Thank You for the reminder in your poem. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.
