Little Miracles!

God is so amazing! He is working 24/7 all around us! It is us, with our little finite minds and hearts, that fail to notice! But just this week alone I have seen our Maker working his miracles all over! I have a very sweet friend who went in to Providence on Monday to deliver her little girl, at only 27 weeks. She had cervical cancer and it was spreading. 27 WEEKS! That is so early! With hearts fearful with the unknown staring them in the face, they walked forward in faith! They were trusting in a God who isn't bound by timelines or statistics! They set their minds and hearts on an outcome that would bring God the most glory possible! They knew that He loved that little precious bundle much more than they ever could and trusted in that love to see them through! And, with much prayer, little Shiloh was born at 2 1/2 pounds but breathing on her own! She has a long road of recovery awaiting her, but she is already growing and developing with only the strength that God supplies. Mommy and Daddy are doing great too! What a testament to His grace and mercy!

And then, just a few miles up the road, another sweet friend delievered her first little angel just a few hours ago! A healthy and vibrant baby girl! As I held her little blessing, I marveled at the majesty of our Creator! How He truly weaves His miralces all across this big, wide world!

And then, sitting here typing on this computer, I look in the faces of my own little people! Each of them are so unique, so different! I see their strengths and weaknesses already being developed! The joy of listening to them pray and seek God on their own levels. Miracles sent straight from heaven! I am in awe of the beauty of our great King!

So this day, I choose to stop doing, and sit and marvel! I choose to meditate on His goodness! I will sit and ponder the grace He has poured out all around me! I will delight in His many blessings! I will stop in the midst of the busy, crazy moments that swirl around me everyday...and I will breathe in the sweet aroma of a God who causes the flowering bud to bloom, and at the same time, causes a newborn babe to cry! He gives life in the smallest, intricate ways...and He sounds the trumpet call as the impossible comes to life! What a mighty God we serve!
