Miracles really do happen. Many times we are so busy with mind clutter of everyday life we forget to stop and really look at what is happening in our lives. Or we focus on something that we perceive as negative or bad. I would say this is a normal reaction in human nature. However, the key to Joy, Peace, Happiness, Grace and what we are truly meant to experience in life is moving beyond the normal human nature. Learning to look at all we have in our lives, be grateful and learn from what we experience.
It is really true that we get what we ask for. We sometimes forget to be concouious of what we are asking for.
A few weeks back I had an experience I'd like to share. We had heavy rain and winds from a huricane that hit the gulf coast. I woke in the middle of this storm and looked outside. The winds were so strong that I could feel it through the french doors in my bedroom (normally, a set of doors that stick and are hard to open). The wind was howling it was so strong. I also, noted that the tree's in the yard were twisting and turning back and forth. Not a straight line you understand (twisting, first one way and then in the direct opposite). I thought for a few seconds Wow! that is unreal.
I then checked on my children as most Mom's are inclined to do when they are awoken in the middle of the night. All was fine.
My Son, who does not like storms was completely unaware of what was happening outside but he has his buddy were wake and talking. (miracle one) I then went back to sleep.
When we woke the next morning it was to a strange site. Many shingles blown off our roof, one out of three trash cans tipped over with the lid a foot away. Normally, when the wind blows I have multiple chairs on the porch blown over, down, etc. none of this had moved. The roof had not leaked, even with many shingles gone and the rain pouring. (miracle two)
In our front yard, a huge walnut tree had been twisted around, the tree snapped about 4 feet up on the trunk. This tree missed our house, missed the road, missed the horse pasture. It came down parcially against another tree - but did not damage it. (miracle three)
We have horses in the pasture, all of them and all their feeding equipment were fine. We have many large tree's close to the house and in the pasture, None of those were damaged at all even though they were not as strong as the healthy big tree that did fall. (miracle four & five)
Some would say it was just good luck. I know better. It was many miracles. It was faith, belief whatever word you choose to use to describe it. I went back to sleep knowing in my mind and heart all was fine and would stay that way. There was a time in my world where I would have been up fretting and focusing on the bad that could happen. I am so very thankful that I have grown as a person enough to understand. "Everything happens for a reason" our jobs are to learn the lessons, grow from it and move forward! If you do, you find peace, joy, and happiness. If you don't - history will repeat itself over and over until you do!
You truly are 100% responsible for what happen's in your own life! If you aren't happy with it, change your response to the events happening in your life and world. Then and only Then can the Outcome Change. Don't whine, poor Me! Find your gift and your world will be a brighter place.
Thanks for listening to my thoughts. I'd love to hear yours!
Together we will Change Our World!

I totally agree with you. That's why I started my gratitude blog to remind myself as often as possible what I have to be grateful for.
