I have a new screensaver on my computer that has awesome pictures of the universe and quotes from many famous people. One in specific caught my attention this evening. It was by Albert Einstein who said "there are 2 ways of looking at life, one is to see everything as a miracle, the other is to see nothing as a miracle."
I choose to look at life and see everything as a miracle. I think once a person makes up their mind to view the world this way, it is easy to see. What is a miracle anyway? I think of miracles as little gifts that are given to us to help us remember that there is a higher power, and it isn't us.
Sometimes those miracles come through people listening to a source outside of themselves. Other times it is given in personal added strength or just in having new perspectives and a new change of attitude.
I have a favorite scripture found in Phillipians 4:6 & 7 which states: Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I have come to believe that the peace of God which passeth all understanding is when it makes no sense that a person should feel at peace, but they do anyway. This is how I feel today. It makes no sense that I should feel so much peace in my life, but I do. The cirumstances we are facing have the ability to completeley destroy our lives and peace if we allow them to. Instead I am accepting the Savior's invitation to cast my burdens on him and to let him make me whole.
It is when I do this and have true gratitude in my heart that I feel encourage and alive. God's peace is perfect peace. It doesn't matter what the situation is, it is still available and that is a miracle.
Tonight I am feeling so much of that peace of God. I am looking foward to seeing how he wants me to use this feeling to not only assist my husband, but to help others as well.
I welcome that opportunity.
Chris
