Everything is a Miracle

     Albert Einstein said,
     "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
     Take, for example, the lowly bumble bee. Aerodynamically, he is not built to fly. His wings are too small to be able to support his plump body in the air. But, the bumble bee doesn't know he is defying the laws of nature. So, he flies!
     A human cell has a brain, waste disposal, factories, transportation and communication. Yet, we are not able to see a cell with our earthly eyes. How could so much detail and intelligence exist in such microscopic dimensions? If one of these cells fails to do its job, the results could be fatal to the entire body.
     It's a miracle that the human body can survive, considering how easily it can be destroyed. Unseen germs can bring down giant men. There's nothing "supernatural" about catching a disease.
     If a person flips a light switch, it's not considered a miracle that the light goes on. Talking on a phone these days is a normal part of life. We don't stop to consider there are no wires attached nor that the person we are talking to is miles away. But, how could anyone say that's not a miracle?
     No less of a miracle is my new granddaughter. She arrived in brand new condition, no assembly required. It's a mystery how her bones were formed in her mother's womb.
     Likewise, spiritual birth is a miracle.
    
     "It took a miracle to put the stars in place.
     It took a miracle to hang the world in space.
     But when He saved my soul
     Cleansed and made me whole,
     It took a miracle of love and grace."

     I think it was Paul McCartney who turned to his wife after she'd given birth to their first child and asked,
     "How did you do that?"
     To me, a miracle is something that cannot be explained to my satisfaction. That's why, to me, everything is a miracle.
