Good Morning my Friends;

I awoke this morning to find one of my small miracles is sick. I call our Cats small miracles because I’m simply amazed that given the human animals  proclivity toward extremes, that any other creature would choose to associate with us for their entire life. That is miraculous.

We receive Miracles and Blessing  every day and usually do not acknowledge they happen. Many of you may think; I don’t believe in a Supreme Being”.  Miracles and Blessing, in large part do not emanate directly from “God”, they arrive with the people and critters we meet every day. We may call it serendipity, luck, that something or someone arrives just when it is supposed to, but isn’t that how it works? Don’t we “pray” “ask” “think about” something, energize the world with our extreme desire for a situation to resolve itself favorably, and against the odds, a  Blessing or Miracle happens that may not solve the puzzle, but at least presents us with a more attractive alternative? In my opinion, failures happen because we are so focused on only one way for something to happen, we miss seeing the options (Miracles or Blessings) that are given to us. Proof that extreme order, control,  and extreme chaos, ignorance, are subject to the same narrow vision because both see only what they want to see, they miss the Miracles and Blessings, large and small that are life affirming and life changing.

Little miracle and blessings come in many forms. In the shape of a metaphor or aphorism. Like small furry animal with primal intelligence.  In forms of another guardian of this world. Or, just an intuitive or inspired moment. In whatever way Miracles and Blessing arrive,  see them, acknowledge them, allow them. They are guides that show themselves at just the right time and place. Events that are fulfillment of a wish, prayer, request, for the Giver or Creator of Miracles and Blessings to provide one.

They are not accidental. They are the results of energy in, converted, and returned. Ask and you will receive. The laws of thermodynamics explain the mechanics of prayer.

Have a week filled with Blessings and Miracles you recognize.
