“I give the miracles I have received.”

A quote attributed to Albert Einstein, paraphrased, says something like this: We can live as though nothing is a miracle or as if everything is a miracle. I’ve always leaned toward the side of wonderment, looking at life with rose-colored glasses and being tickled pink at the ever-changing miracle of  life as witnessed by trees and flowers and flowing water and the like. Today I’m pleased to enjoy the miracle of driving a car! It has been almost six months since I’ve driven, because of a lower leg amputation. Today, while starting my car for its daily engine revving and 6 inches of movement back and/or forward, I thought to myself, I can drive! Interestingly enough, I can feel my invisible foot. Some people may think of that as phantom pain, but I believe I'll look at it as a gift of Life. I'll nurture the feeling, knowing Truth in all its forms and functions as I continue to recognize the miracle so I can give it away!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"The great miracle, to human sense, is divine Love, and the grand necessity of existence is to gain the true idea of what constitutes the kingdom of heaven in man."

  1. In the most subtle, invisible aspect of life true miracle lies.
    Seeing the invisibility of that very aspect is the grace one can reap for oneself !!
