Ordinary Miracles






Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles.

  • A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself...
  • An unexpected phone call from an old friend....
  • Green stoplights on your way to work....
  • The fastest line at the grocery store....
  • A good sing-along song on the radio...

  • Your keys found right where you left them.
  • A hand-written letter from a friend in your mailbox...

These "ordinary miracles" came in an email pass-this-on attachment.  They made me think of all the OTHER "ordinary miracles" that I often take for granted.  Things like...


  • A mislaid cell phone located finally...oddly enough right where I left IT, too!
  • Coffee on sale at the grocery when I need it...
  • Ditto for toilet paper!
  • Willpower.  Click here for details.
What would YOU add to the list?

    2. Time to read said book.
    3. Fervent prayers to "bless her heart and help her feel better" from my five-year-old today as I'm not feeling well.
    4. A husband that emails me some columns I'm needing stat.
    5. Five pounds of my favorite coffee purchased by husband mentioned above.
    6. So many more, I've lost track!
