Miracles, believing, seeing, telling, and living

I am going to believe in miracles. No matter how cynical the world has become, I am going to teach this to my kids, to look for a miracle in each day. So, you say, I must have a candy-coated world. Not hardly. I choose this belief. Just as people choose the large combo meal at the check-out. How? My faith. What faith? I believe in Jesus Christ. Foolishness. Unbelievable. Who saw him? Who touched him? Who witnessed the miracles written in the scripture. Of course, no one here today can testify to this man's world or works. Or can we? I have seen the power in the wind. I have felt the heat of the sun. I have touched the freshly fallen snow. I have played in the raindrops while the rainbow glowed overhead. I have seen birth and felt it. I have watched death and hearts beat again. I have seen the agony of pain and the release to a place of peace. I have felt the presense of angels when afraid. I have been moved by music within my soul. I have prayed and found answers. And I have waited, but never alone. I have slept when the waters were swirling. I have found joy in the dawn of another day. Sure, it is tempting to give up, when life lets us down, but giving up means living less. Than. Living each day no matter. Looking at people, giving them a warm smile. Listening alittle longer. Telling something good instead of bad. Embracing peace as if a treasure. Knowing broken hearts can heal. Knowing I can teach the beauty in each day or live life only seeing the bad. This is the greatest miracle of all choosing to believe in the One Almighty.
