Do you believe in miracles?
Have you ever been blessed with a miracle?
I do.
And, I have - - many times.
And, I have - - many times.
I've been reminded of a few things about miracles over the last year.
The first thing I was reminded of is this:
When you pray to God for a miracle, and you truly believe,
you need to prepare yourself for the unexpected.
you need to prepare yourself for the unexpected.
Miracles don’t always look the way we want them to.
I call it the "GOD-gives-me-a-present-with-a-green-bow-but-I-wanted-a-red-bow" syndrome.
Truth-be-told, miracles don’t appear the way we'd like, most of the time.
God has His own plans for us.

so true...
ReplyDeleteI tend not to ask for certain things to happen necessarily. I pray for guidance and strength to do what I must to help others or myself.
ReplyDeleteYes, they often come in different forms than we are expecting but I also believe God has a plan for our lives and try to see His hand in all I do.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder.
Leona, you know I believe in miracles. My son Christopher is a miracle from God.
ReplyDeleteGod does have his own plans for each and every one of us. Nice post. =)
very true...
ReplyDeleteSo, so true! And what's most awesome about Heavenly Father is that HIS miracles are always so much more wonderful than the ones we pray for! ♥
ReplyDeleteLOL I've experienced a lot of the green and red bow stuff. And I've received quite a few miracles as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!
ReplyDeleteAnd visiting your blog is never "punishment" :) But your suggestion might just compel me to start commenting back on friend's blogs again!
Hope things are going well for you!
So true!!!!! I *am* a miracle!
ReplyDeleteAnd I learned a long time ago to be careful what I pray for -- I might get it!
Great post. I do believe in miracles although I don't feel like I've seen/had any lately. However, like you said, they come in many forms most of which we don't recognize because God has a different plan. The perfect plan. That's why it's important to thank Him everyday.
ReplyDeleteI hope your summer is full of miracles! I've given you an award over at my blog. Don't worry about passing it on if awards aren't your thing. Just consider it a shout-out for your blog.
ReplyDeleteaint that the truth!!! *she says, staring at her red bow*
ReplyDeleteMy prayer is generally, "Stay with me Jesus!"
