Oh, Deidra! I loved this! What a happy, joyous moment for you and this sweet friend. A marvelous miracle indeed!

Simply beautiful.
I love it when we recognize the moments of comfort and peace as the miracles that they are!
Sure, I believe in big ones too: the parting of the red sea, the loved one cured of cancer, the whisper to a father to run out in the orchard where he found his son being dragged by a horse. All definitely miracles, gifts from a loving Father.
But, when he changes my heart, or comforts my sorrows, when he helps me forgive, when he fills my soul with the knowledge that my offering is acceptable to him, when he speaks to my soul in ways that confirm His reality, those are the best kind of miracles. Sacred and soul satisfying and sweet.

Miracles everywhere.
The two of you. Knowing each other in the first place. Learning together… in your home. The same song sung in sadness. The mingled tears when her declaration is made. The baptism.
Miracles everywhere.
Oh, this is beautiful, my friend. Thank you SO much for sharing…
