Noble and Great Miracles
September 25th, 2023 by G.
His noble and great ones are the chiefest of his miracles.
God touched a plumber. He bored a tunnel through the mountains that gushed fresh, cold water for a thousand years.
God touched a cop. He rooted out corruption in high places down to the last rotten apple.
God touched a teacher. The teacher’s students became a band of statesmen who led their country to destiny.
God touched a fisherman. He made the waters bloom and caught in their hundreds of thousands the teeming fish.
God touched a mother. She raised up the the founders of a nation.
God touched a father. He made a world.

The greatest miracles in my life, and the most meaningful, have all been the quiet simple ones in my family. As much as I would like to command fire and lightning like some Greek god, it is the simple miracles that matter the most to me.

It is nice to have fire and lightning when necessary. How would you drive your family around, without the spark plug and ignition chamber?

The best miracles our family had lately are that both my sisters survived their (very VERY) high-risk pregnancies with two healthy baby girls, and that my dad is now back to normal after a very confusing emergency room visit last week – his diagnosis was ‘transient global amnesia’, and let me tell you, the way amnesia is portrayed in popular media is not at all the way it actually happens.
So I am grateful for doctors, even when they’re working in the confines of an extremely broken healthcare system.
