How long do you have to wait for a miracle?<\/h6>\n
I’m not really sure how long you have to wait for a miracle; they are all around us all the time. But sometimes a miracle takes a lifetime, and sometimes not long at all…<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s the miracle of a new born arriving…hearing a bird sing or watching a sunrise or sunset…those are miracles\u2026<\/h6>\n
Miracles occur with each new breath we take and each new day that arrives…the miracle of walking and talking when you think about it how does that happen? It\u2019s amazing when your baby takes their first steps and says their first word\u2026it is thrilling, it\u2019s a miracle.<\/h6>\n
Look around there are miracles everywhere…<\/h6>\n
And sometimes miracles; the ones we have waited for and prayed for…cried and begged God for, seem as though they will never happen.<\/h6>\n
Then suddenly, when you least expect it, something wonderful happens\u2026<\/h6>\n
Out of nowhere your miracle appears and you’re left speechless, dumbfounded, and well just utterly surprised…<\/h6>\n
40 years I’ve waited for a miracle…40 years in the desert, going round and round and round, wandering, and then suddenly\u2026I still wait to see it unfold and grow and survive…<\/h6>\n
What an adventure…I can hardly believe it…someone today said, “You’re glowing.”<\/h6>\n
Happiness does that to you, it makes you glow!<\/h6>\n
The miracle of love, and life, and new beginnings, are unbelievable…somebody pinch me\u2026is it real?<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s a lot for the mind to comprehend but without miracles life would be dull, boring a non-life…<\/h6>\n
Even the miracle of death…I never thought of death as being a miracle before but it really is…<\/h6>\n
To think that the body can just shut down and you’re gone…is a miracle…<\/h6>\n
And to have the assurance that because you\u2019ve accepted Jesus as your savior, because He is the son of God, and to know that you will live forever, well, that is truly a miracle\u2026<\/h6>\n
What are we waiting for…?<\/h6>\n
Live each day\u00a0full and free…no worries, no pain, no fear…<\/h6>\n
Be courageous and daring and watch the miracles unfold before your very eyes…<\/h6>\n
Even if takes 40 years…it is so worth it!<\/h6>\n
God bless you! There…are….miracles…everywhere…open your heart and believe!<\/h6>\n
Your miracle is going to appear, suddenly!<\/h6>\n

God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. Hebrews 2:4 <\/span>New International Version (NIV)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
