Let’s talk about miracles. For this post, we’ll use the Wikipedia definition: In casual usage, "miracle" may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial event, (such as the survival of a natural disaster) or even which regarded as "wonderful" regardless of its likelihood, such as birth. Other miracles might be: survival of a fatal illness, escaping a life threatening situation or 'beating the odds'.
The plane crash of last week is called a miracle. Why? Nobody died or was seriously injured. This miracle was caused by people. The miracle is that everyone did what was in the highest and best use of their time and talent for the good of all. The pilot used his skills and experience to land the plane safely. But that wasn’t the end of the story. He landed in the river, in frigid waters that could have killed everyone. Every day people, busy at work moved in to help. People on the street gave support to help the survivors stay warm. The people on the plane followed instructions when they thought they were going to die.
In an article called “Create your own miracle” by Michael C. Rann and Elizabeth Rann Arrott, they say “Miracles happen through natural and normal circumstances, and the "new science" of quantum physics is proving that we are--every one of us--already wired for miracles. The reality is that every one of us can consciously take control and work to create a miracle or miracles in our lives. We are not victims of a random existence in a confusing and possibly hostile world. Life is for us, not against us. Not only is it possible to experience a dramatic healing or find the perfect solution to our problems, but it's also possible to express the dream or desire that we haven't dared pursue up to now and to learn how to bring such wonderful experiences into our lives more often”.
Miracles are caused by people moving outside the small self to experience the wholeness of life. Please add your examples of everyday miracles.
