Have you noticed any miracles in your life lately?

I truly believe that we witness miracles on a daily basis and half the time we take them for granted.

I’ve lived in San Diego twice and the first time I was there for five years.  I pretty much lived anywhere from one block to one mile away from the beach the whole time.

Being at the beach and seeing the ocean is my heaven on Earth.  For me, I feel like it is the place where I can be closest to God and where I can witness the most miracles.

The sun setting on the water, the colors changing every moment, the beautiful waves crashing and the sounds they make, the occasional complete silence between the waves and the sand.  I believe that every grain of sand is a tiny miracle from God.

Being on vacation this week in Florida, I’m reminded at how many miracles surround us each day and how sometimes we can take them for granted.  Luckily, I don’t think I really ever took the beach for granted when I lived there.  I do however think it’s so cool now that I don’t live there and haven’t been in a while how I feel like my appreciation has been magnified this week.

Last night, I had the privilege of sitting with the beautiful soul that I’m vacationing with on the beach and we got to watch this beautiful sunset above while listening to some incredible music.  It seemed so perfect that we even joked about how it almost seemed fake or like we were on a movie set.  I felt like I was on The Truman Show and the entire evening was being designed just for me.  To me, that is a miracle.

What miracles have you witnessed lately?  I bet if you thought about it, you’ve witnessed alot of them.  I love being able to relax and take a break and take a step back from reality and the busyness of my life to bring me back to seeing things with a fresh and new perspective.

We have the ability to witness miracles multiple times a day.  A sunset.  A butterfly.  A snowflake.  A suffering person still being able to smile.  The detail on insects wings.  Someone conquering their fear.  Great communication.  A death.  A birth.  Unconditional love.

As if the sunset wasn’t a big enough miracle, the picture below is what we got to witness shortly after the sun went down.  My iPhone camera can’t really do it justice, but it was the most beautiful moon on the left and the brightest star on the right that once again, looked fake.

Beautiful sunset + beautiful company + beautiful music + beautiful darkness + moon and bright star = Love

Wishing you all beautiful miracles and love on your journey the next couple of weeks.
