MIRACLES

Believe in the unexpected

We live in an age of skepticism.

I never ever even when I was at my most fundamentalist high believed that we have to believe in the miracles because they proved Jesus was God. No No No.   But if there are such things then I believe Jesus did have a miraculous power to heal.  His life was giving and I believe in the healing touch, the energy and miracle of love, the miracle of forgiveness and redemption.

I believe in the power of prayer that somehow connects us to one another and to the great unknown.  Prayer is an ordinary experience lived with gratitude and wonder and that is a miracle in itself.  

I believe that there are things that happen that we cannot explain.

I believe that the brain is the biggest miracle!

Can miracles happen in the brain?  Yes Yes Yes.  All I know is that sometimes I just know.  Maybe a tubal pregnancy became a miracle baby called Rick.  I know the tears that I shed when I was told that news.  All  prayed was Lord help us!

  I believe that Jesus was one smart dude and that he had the ability to tap into energy that is available to us all.  I believe he radiated that energy so that faith was stirred up in people.

Now it is up to us to preform miracles.  Miracles of love and forgiveness.  One just has to read the story of Jean Valjean where the act of mercy and forgiveness made him face and renounce the hate that had to this point in his life filled his soul.  Grace is a miracle.

"The light of divine immanence  must evolve through our choices, our commitments, and our hard work."
The Secret Life of God by Rabbi David  Aaron.  He writes about discovering the divine within you. and wakening up to your life's deepest purpose.  He believes, as I do, that we can experience the amazing miracle of God's unconditional love for us all.

I could say that when I was sick with the bad cough that it was a miracle there was a cancellation and I got right in and had an x-ray that very day.  Actually the miracle was that I made the phone call at all.

I come back to the brain that is actually wired to receive inspiration beyond our knowledge.

I often feel that I am reading just the right book that I need to help me understand life a little better.
Life has not been easy like all of us I have struggled with pain and fear and disappointment.  I have wanted to disappear and leave all the mess behind.  That was when I without a doubt heard an inner voice that I to this day call God., the Ancient One.

I could not pray or even read scripture but I hung on to the words.
"It was no messenger or angel but His Presence that saved them."  Exodus 63:9

I hope and pray that dad feels better today.
