When small, amazing things happen to you, do you dismiss them as coincidence or do you wonder if there is something more to them? If I only had sporadic amazing things happen to me, I might overlook them for what they really are—miracles. However, I have amazing things happen to me every day, all throughout the day. I cannot dismiss them. I am here to tell you that God is alive and at work in my life. And if he’s at work in my life, then why not yours? God loves all of His children, including you.
I have some theories about how heavenly things work. I believe we are here on this earth to be tested and prove ourselves. I believe our trials can make us stronger. Thus, God doesn’t usually take them away. Similar to encouraging a baby to learn to walk. It’s hard for the baby but it’s a good thing to learn to walk. But God can help us with small things because He just can’t help Himself. He loves us so much.
Here are a couple examples of miracles in my life. If I’m in a hurry and I need to find socks for a family member, I can reach my hand into a basket full of clean socks and pull out two socks. They always match and are for the right person in my household of five. Isn’t that cool? This only happens when I’m in a hurry.

One time I went to my gym which provided towels. When I got to the front desk, I was told they were out of towels. I was bummed as I had come to use the steam room and I would need towels. I muttered under my breath as I randomly chose an available locker. I opened this locker and I couldn’t believe my eyes. The locker was full of clean towels. I was amazed. Out of curiosity, I opened many nearby lockers and no other locker had clean towels in them. I had picked the only one. Do you think God is aware of me and plans for my every need? Oh, yes! I have miracles like this happen to me every day. Perhaps God delights to bless me because He knows I notice. Plus, I give him praise. I hope I would be like the one leper who came back to praise God for being cured of leprosy out of the ten cleansed lepers.
In honor of the greatest miracle, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, I will be focusing my next few entries on miracles and how God works in my life. If you don’t think God is at work in your life, if you don’t think God delights to bless and help you at every opportunity, think again and start noticing miracles in your life. You just might be amazed.
