How many times have you heard the expression “only a miracle can safe us now” or “we need a miracle to get out of this?” Yet there are a lot of people who do not believe in miracles in our modern day and age. To some people miracles are things that only happened in the Bible times and do not exist today anymore.

I cannot help but to ask myself if we as human beings of the 21st century have become so used to what we have in this day and age that we miss recognising the miracles around us every day. Take our children for example. They are little miracles in their own right. Just think of it for a moment, they grow from nothing more than a little egg into a human being and over nine month they are formed and you can see them getting shape. Their little hands and legs, the little heart beat that they have. Then they get born and they suddenly can breathe on their own. For nine months they depend on you for oxygen and food and within minutes this changes and they can do it on their own.

That way they grow, develop and discover new things every day. Isn’t that just a miracle on its own? We have become so selfobsorbed that we neglect the small thing in life that we take for granted every day. Each and every single day there are miracles that take place amongst us. We just need to start looking for them again.

Our modern times have placed so much stress on us. We live for getting rich and making a lot of money, that most of us forget the small things in life. These small things are the things that really matter and that make life worth living for. How many of us still tell our children that we love them. How many of us still sit down over a weekend and just play with them. Do we still read them bedtime stories and listen to all the imaginary stories they tell us.

Once we start appreciating the small things in life it will get easier to see the bigger miracles that are around us every day.

Life is full of miracles; all we have to do is to start looking for them.
