\u201cThere are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0 -Albert Einstein<\/p>\n

There is so much truth to that. When we look for miracles in life we can find them everywhere. Some miracles manifest as a mere \u201ccoincidence\u201d when they aren\u2019t really a coincidence at all. Some miracles manifest as a fortuitous event we often call serendipity. Some miracles manifest as an interruption or change in plans that ends up saving us from what would have been a disaster. And some miracles manifest as a wonderful occurrence like the birth of a child or recovering from an illness.<\/p>\n

Even the most seemingly ordinary things are miracles if you really think about it \u2013 the rising of the sun, the stars in the sky, the flight of a bumblebee, the smell of a rose, the ability to see, the ability to smell, the ability to walk and to talk and to love\u2026they are all miracles. Life is full of miracles.<\/p>\n

LIFE IS A MIRACLE<\/span><\/p>\n

Life is a miracle<\/p>\n

don’t let it slip away,<\/p>\n

Open your heart to others,<\/p>\n

give of yourself each day.<\/p>\n

See the beauty in everyone,<\/p>\n

regardless of where they’ve been,<\/p>\n

Some have a difficult journey<\/p>\n

and really need a friend.<\/p>\n

Share your gifts and talents,<\/p>\n

listen with your heart.<\/p>\n

Do the things you dream about<\/p>\n

but don’t have time to start.<\/p>\n

Pick a bouquet of flowers,<\/p>\n

show someone that you care,<\/p>\n

Be gracious and forgiving,<\/p>\n

for life is never fair.<\/p>\n

Hold on to your courage,<\/p>\n

you may need it down the road,<\/p>\n

We all have a cross to bear,<\/p>\n

it could be a heavy load.<\/p>\n

If you practice all these things,<\/p>\n

wherever you may roam,<\/p>\n

You might find both sun and rain,<\/p>\n

but you’ll never feel alone!<\/p>\n

~ Author Unknown<\/p>\n

Remember to notice and be grateful for all of the miracles that come into your life today!<\/p>\n
