Expecting a miracle? Don't scoff now, please, But consider the wonders in each one of these: A tiny baby's perfect hands, The waves upon the sun-drenched sands, The tendemess of love's first kiss And when the thousandth still brings bliss, Sunsets that each day are new, A hundred different shades of blue, The sweetness when a small child sings, The power in a hummingbird's wings, The genius of Mozart and Handel, The light shed by a single candle, And words with which you may impart The thoughts and feelings of your heart. I need no parting of the sea. Each day brings wonderment to me. Some think miraculous things mundane, As if what science can explain Could not be a gift from God, But I must find this viewpoint odd. All beauty is a gift of love, A blessing from the Lord above; And if He blesses us each day, That's just because it is His way To give to us abundantly. If we are willing, we can see His hand in everything, and give Our thanks to Him each day we live For miracles that are all around And, if expected, can be found. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Butter on a hot waffle, eh? Sounds bad for the cholesterol level. Thanks, Peg. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Dear marilyn; I so love this poem! How our thoughts of the heart do so agree, for i too believe as you do, that every moment brings wonderful miracles from God, if we have but eyes to see! Your mastery of poetic form shines brightly in this one. Magical! (a little fairy dust on this one perhaps?) Love, Ellie P.S. I loved your reply to the latest Fairy poem! Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

yes, we do have a lot to be thankful, dont we?i relate to this becos i always struggle to remind myself to retain that childlike wonder when facing the world and not take such beauty for granted something that i consider to be a miracle: a kitten owned by my friend slept peacefully on my lap.... not directly relevant but it felt soooooo good and i thought that i would share  [This message has been edited by kaile (edited 11-25-2000).] |

Dear Ellie, I am touched by your reply. I certainly do believe there are miracles everywhere, not the least of which are the wonderful people here at Passions. Wish I could claim the fairy dust. Maybe it was there and I didn't know it. This was written a year ago, and after months of brewing in my head. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kaile - Now that does sound like a miracle to me, and I'm glad you shared it. It is good to remember to find pleasure in those small things. Thanks.

One of those miracles is a Sunday morning rise to read in Passions...one never knows what treasures one will find... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Karilea - I, too, am treating myself to a before-church treasure hunt, and was greeted with your lovely reply. Thank you. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Marge - Thank you so much for your kind comments. You always make me feel good. And now that you mention it, I AM rather hungry. Suppose it's Peg's fault? G - Thank you, also, and especially thank you for sharing those baby miracles. Childhood is indeed miraculous. I appreciate your comments. hugs To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

My favorite lines are: I need no parting of the sea. Each day brings wonderment to me. Those lines kind of sum the whole thing up, why do we ask God to do the so called hard things, when we fail to see the everyday miracles and thank Him for them. We can never run out of things to thank Him for! |

Kaile, What a wonderful thing to share! Babies can change a lot of things. You should have posted this on your own, though! Too bad to waste it on a reply. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
