Do you believe in miracles?

Or such fine order and organization was set in place that all would go well if we didn't get in the way...

The question, "Do you believe in miracles" is tough to respond with a direct answer.
I could agree with each respondent, yet they do not answer the question entirely to my satisfaction.
I believe we are an integral part of the universe and the universe is in each of us. We are connected with the source of energy that powers the universe. Being on the same wave-length, so-to-speak, we are aligned/connected to a power that resonds to our desires. Sometimes those desires are expressed in prayer, sometimes in powerful thoughts, and when we witness the result of our connection to that energy source, we sometimes call it a miracle, when in fact it is no miracle, but a natural result of that connection. It is miraculous when we think that we have such a power-connection. Some use it, some don't. The power of positive thinking is a law of attraction. If we believe strongly enough in anything, good or bad, we are instrumental in making it happen.
That's what I believe. Call the higher power an intelligennce, God or whatever, call the result, a miracle or whatever, whatever you call it, it happens. How? That can be debated endlessly. Sometimes knowing why is irrevelant. You don't have to know the mechanics of the automobile to turn on the engine. Do you consider what caused the current to turn on the light when you flip the switch? You have faith and know that when it is connected to the power soruce, it will work.
We are all connected to a universal power source. It takes a step of faith to turn on the switch and what we believe will happen strongly enough, it happens.

Beliefs are difficult to articulate because they depend so much on faith.

That is elec-trickery Abe we all know that.

Today, Dave and I need a miracle. Our son-in-law is undergoing repeat thyroid cancer surgery. Please keep him in your kind thoughts and prayers.

Thanks!

Will do Alice.

Yes, Alice, I'll be thinking about him and your daughter and your grandchildren.

David and Shelagh,

Thank you! Only about another hour and we should hear something.

He will be honored to be regarded kindly by his fellow country persons

Thank God and you who remembered him in thought and prayers, our son-in-law is fine and his voice is intact.

Great news, Alice!
