Life, a Precious Gift (Miracles Happen Everyday)

Life is beautiful, amazing, unpredictable and a gift from God. It is to cherished and enjoyed. Life is full of miracles. They really do happen daily. It is just that some attribute them to luck or fate, I say they are all from God. If you believe in Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you will begin to recognize them and stop and give thanks for His goodness and mercy. I believe that to help each other to recognize the goodness and mercy of God, we must share our experiences. Today I will relay to you the reader, the last miracle I experienced.

On August 8, 2014, I was on my way to my Aunt's funeral. I had to travel about 50 minutes so I was on Interstate 97 heading for Glen Burnie, Md. On this particular stretch of highway the speed limit is 65 miles per hour. As you might imagine, at 10 am in the morning, there was not a lot of traffic, thus I am sure all were traveling a bit faster than 65 mpg. I think I was at 75 myself and the car ahead of me was not that close. I was in the right lane and I remember that there was a small white compact car in front of me. In the left lane, about 3 cars ahead of me was a Cadillac. I  noticed because I saw it sway out back and forth and then spin around to face us. and it was coming head on. Myself and the white vehicle in front of me hit the brakes. The Cadillac came to stop half on the shoulder and have in our path. The miracle was not that we all stopped in time but that we stopped dead in our tracks with no skidding. At the speed we were traveling, this is not a likely scenario. It was the hand of God that stops our vehicles so suddenly. No evidence that we were speeding. After Thanking God for saving us all. I proceeded on my way.

As I continued, I noticed the white car was not yet moving and imagined the driver was a bit shocked since that car would have have the worst of it being hit from front and back if God had not intervened. I also thought about the headline if it had been a different outcome. I mean, how ironic would it have been to be on the way to a Home Going celebration and be joining your loved one because of something like this. Trust me when I say, I was so thankful and full to know the grace of god at that moment and the hours that followed. Even now weeks later when i think about this incident, my soul is so happy and full of gratitude, I am tearing as I type this recounting of my latest miracle.

When I told of this miracle to a friend, she said,

"God isn't through with you yet, you've got some more work to do!"

I think she was right and I stand ready to go where He leads me. I will not waste a moment. Life is a precious gift and I am so so appreciative.  I encourage you to continue to your personal relationship with the Father and stay on the path He has for you, for there is nothing small about it. Keep your eyes open for everyday miracles!

Sunday

Yes, today is Sunday, this is the day set aside to enjoy, give thanks and praise and prepare for the upcoming week. Personally, I think these things should be done on a daily basis. It is so important to stay grounded and this process helps so much in that regard. If you stop each day to count  your blessings and then think about how you can be a blessing to someone else, there is no way for you to have a "bad" day. Of course, there will always be obstacles in your way. This will happen regardless of your spirituality, however, your connection to your higher power will see you through. If you don't have and nourish that connection, you will have those "bad" days, weeks and months. If you do give your praise and thanks even in the midst of the storms, you will flourish.

You need not take my word for it. Just look around you. Everyone knows at least one person that always has a smile, doesn't complain and never seems to get distressed over anything.  If you'd care to inspect closer, you will find that they do have the same types of concerns as everyone else, the difference is that they don't sit around and cry about it. They take it their higher power and  and lay it down, They have the attitude that is will all be taken care of and in the end, it is.  They know that they are protected and insulated from the problems of this world.

There is a way that you can test this strength for yourself. Give it 30 days. Every morning when you get up, give praise for the day. Pray sincerely for God's grace, ask for His guidance through your day. Ask Him to open your mind and to help you find ways to bless others. Then you tell me in 30 days how you feel. I expect that you will have a new lease on life, that the little things that used to cause you so much grief will hardly be given a second thought, all those obstacles will still be there, but, you will navigate over, under, around and sometimes through them.  Your mind will be clearer and you will be able to focus on living the wonderful life God has given you.  Try it for yourself and see.
Please leave a comment after the end of your 30 day trial and let me know about your transformation.
