Hello Feather 🕊️ 🪶 🕊️!

I’m coming back to the topic of miracles, which took me quite a while to think through so I could organize my thoughts a bit.

I’m letting Deepl handle the translation so I don’t overload my brain, which is already stretched thin by this topic!

Sorry for the length of the text 🤗🕊️

In a comment of mine a little earlier, I recalled the common definitions of the concept of miracles as performed by Jesus himself. The main one seems to be the definition of an extraordinary event that clearly testifies to and marks the presence of God through an action that cannot be explained by human logic or science at the moment it occurs.

In our modern world, where reflection and the ability to apply Scripture to the realities of our modern, materialistic lives are too rarely practiced, people seem to have lost this concept of miracles, just as they’ve lost their capacity to marvel at Life and at what God brings us—what He GIVES us—every day.

Ordinary people (including us, myself included!), whether believers or not, seem to be waiting for significant events they can attribute to God (especially regarding healing, survival, overcoming extraordinary trials…).

This echoes Anna’s comment that she can’t imagine being able to perform a miracle (and neither can the Pope!!), even though this power belongs solely to God Himself and to Jesus, who may choose to use a person (a medium) of His own choosing! 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻

And yet, many people around the world, believers or not, are healed every day (to the extent of their ailment!) by manual therapists, magnetizers, bone-setters, or healers of all kinds (including shamans and medicine men!).

What about those whose mere laying on of hands relieves or even heals the suffering of someone who trusts them completely??

Aren’t these what I call the “little miracles of everyday life,” through which the GIFTS granted by God are manifested?

What about synchronicities, whose reality science attests to without being able to fully explain them, and which it explains we can activate ourselves (this is my case, as those around me can attest!) by putting ourselves in the right frame of mind, “open and benevolent”?

What about those people who, in a situation of extreme urgency, prove capable of things they have never done or learned (and which they will be unable to reproduce afterward!)?

What about those situations where a person (I’ve experienced this myself) is able to respond to an emergency in a language they didn’t even know existed? And for which no one can explain how a person managed to provide decisive or vital information in an unknown language!

And more “visibly,” the countless videos circulating on the web that SHOW people escaping from dramatic circumstances from which no one could even imagine a favorable, positive, and therefore happy outcome??

Seeing a child, or a victim of severe trauma, who suddenly makes a breakthrough that no one would have dared to hope for, or who emerges from a prolonged coma: I gladly accept seeing and bearing witness to God’s action from the moment science or medicine is unable to claim such an outcome!

In MY opinion, miracles manifest themselves every day around us, but few people seem to know how to exercise their ability (a gift from God) to SEE them, to RECOGNIZE them, to BEAR WITNESS to them in the name and for the glory of God, and above all to GIVE THANKS…

💒🕊️💕🙏🏻

I give thanks to God, to whom all glory belongs, for the countless little miracles He bestows upon US every day, despite the indifference of so many people!

Hallelujah! Glory be to God!

🙏🏻💕🕊️💒
