I believe that miracles do happen. Sometimes we forget to see them. We actually had 3 gifts from God over the last week. Spending ever day in pain can mean a lot of things, my prayer is that it will only make me more humble and more considerate of those around me. Many people need miracles today, sometimes they get them and don't recognize them.
Two of our miracles were unexpected, little bits of money came in over the week from two unexpected sources. Those were miracles, maybe small in nature, but miracles none the least.
The third miracle outweighed the other two. My youngest daughter (two years old) got into a weed in the back yard. It appeared she ate some berries off of it. A quick search on the internet from Brad while I was calling a Master Gardner revealed from both sources that we had Deadly Nightshade or Belladonna growing through the fence in the back yard. Both sources recommended the ER. One source even stated that just a couple of the green berries could be fatal to a small child. Heather took pieces of the plant with her and the doctor confirmed, it was the really bad kind. Oh, and kids don't spit it out either, cause the berries are sweet, they don't have any bitter taste this is yucky alarm. So, a charcoal drink with anti-toxin was administered and a few hours later Kara was released with a clean bill of health and a "keep an eye on her for 24 hours".
During that time, while Heather was at the ER with her, so many people were praying for Kara. Friends and Family from Michigan to Oregon. So, in the midst of gas crisis, money crisis, financial struggles, physical pain and so much more... God reached down and performed a miracle. Maybe you want to define it one way or another, but I know that my little girl, two years old, is still alive and not sick today, and that's a gift from God, a miracle.
Thank you Lord, for your Grace, you Mercy and reaching down and touching our lives, sometimes even when we aren't looking.
