Miracle?

Ok, now this is really weird.  Last night I was sitting in my car at lunch, having one of those days....you know, not feeling great, work was crazy and as usual annoying...going down the self-pity path heading straight for the pity party tent...ok, started the gratitude thing but still griping to myself as well (amazing how we can do both at the same time, huh?)

And this is the weird part.  My phone chimes that I received a text message.  Ok. Nothing out of the ordinary.  But what the message said was the unexpected  part. It said:  "MIRACLE"   No more claims of not witnessing daily MIRACLES.  The act of reading this text is a MIRACLE of MAJOR proportion thousand fold and more. Tuesday July 15th 2014.  Thank God for the following:  EYES & BRAIN (check) BRAIN FUNCTION, HEART & SPLEEN, (check), KIDNEY, LUNGS AND LIVER...Ultimate machine of many parts "MIRACLE" take your time thank your maker for your unseen organs.  God sustains them while we awake and asleep. Have you given thanks lately MIRACLE?  Genesis 1:27"

That was the whole message.  I have no idea where this came from.  Didn't recognize the number.  But I certainly got the message.  If that didn't stop the pity train in its tracks..... It seems the author of this text was letting me know that I was the miracle.  Each of us are a miracle of God.   Makes me wonder how many other "unseen" things I take for granted and don't offer thanks for.  How many "miracles" do I miss each day just because they are not, at least to the jaded human mind, grand in scope.

Lord, open my heart and eyes to the work of Your hand, small and big,  the obvious and the not so much.   Thank You for today.
