Gratitude Series #11: I Am Thankful for Miracles

“I am thankful for the miracles that I can celebrate every day that pull together the puzzle pieces of my life into a well-thought-out plan.”

Miracles happen every day yet you may not recognize them. Miracles are defined as: what excites admiring awe, a wonderful or amazing event, act, person of thing.

If you got out of bed on your own this morning you experienced a miracle. Ask those who need assistance to do so on a regular basis what a marvel that is.

If you need to lose a few pounds you are experiencing the miracle of an abundant food supply. Ask those who do not have enough food to feed their children.

If you are irritated by a family member you are experiencing the miracle of a close family. Ask those who are all alone.

Hope Tools

Discover miracles in what others consider ordinary

Miracles are about gratitude for what we have because we know that others may not have the same blessings. It’s really just a matter of perspective and what you value. May you never lose your sense of awe and wonder when you see a butterfly, a rainbow in the sky or hope rays peeking behind dark clouds. Celebrate these small things that others do not notice and thank God for His miraculous intervention in your life.

Celebrate God

You will see more miracles when you worship God for who He is rather than just what He does for you. The greatest miracle of all is that you can have a personal relationship with Him and that He is designing a great plan for your life. Forget about your shortcomings and your mistakes. Give yourself and others the miracle of forgiveness. Then you can fully trust God to work on your behalf. And here’s the miracle – He will.

Prayer

Thank You, Lord, for continually doing your share of miracle-wonders. I love that you have a solid and sure plan for my life even when I blow it. I celebrate You, God, and praise You for all Your provision every day. Thank You also for surprises, laughter and joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
