The Little and Big Miracles In Our Lives

I seldom make topics about cheesy ones. Maybe because when I do , it seems to make me vulnerable to bashings and criticism because others may not share what I am talking about.

But today, I would like to talk about it, because for the nth time I have experienced it.

As a regular employee I receive a fixed salary . This also goes with my husband who is now an ordinary employee, unlike before when he was the team leader of the branch where he was employed.

However, he grabbed the offer of the early retirement that company offered , about 4 years ago. From the money he got from it, he ventured into some businesses. All of it proved that he is not good at it. The money he got was now dwindling, thus he has to take a job, an ordinary one.

So both of us has to handle our finances well, since our daughter is in Manila now having residency as a doctor in Manila with no allowance yet. So, we still give her allowances while the allowance by the hospital is yet to be given maybe in one more month.

Today, we have to send her the allowance . In addition , she is asking for an extra money for some needed things she has to buy. We have to pay some bills too as well as buy necessities and give our share at my in-law’s house, where we were requested to stay to be with my husband’s getting senile parents.

When I withdrew my salary, I took it all , budgeted it and oh, I am short . I need some more for my daily allowance to work too , since I eat lunch and pay for my fares to and from the office. This also goes with my husband.

So I prayed , for God to provide for it.

When I opened my email, I saw that Literacy Base has paid me already and it’s in my PayPal already.

I immediately opened my PayPal. There , in addition to Literacy Base’s remittance , I had my 4 monthly remittances from the other site I am accumulating for them to become big. When I summed them up , they can already give me a big amount when converted to peso. Perfect!

In addition, the teller gave back to me the excess 500 peso bill from the money I gave her to pay my credit card bill.

I was so happy, because God has given me not only one but two miracles today and who knows another one before the day ends.

That is true, things such as these are some of those miracles in our lives that we take for granted. I don’t. I treasure these things because when I receive them it makes my heart swell with pride that God has given them to me. And I am so thankful to God for them.

There are a lot of miracles in our lives actually.

When my father survived from his prostate cancer, it’s a miracle. And so was when my father-in-law survived his prostate cancer too and even when from being bedridden for how many months, he was able to finally get up from bed, that’s a miracle.

Actually, when one passed an examination, we can call that a miracle. When we were able to survive well an operation done in our body, that’s a miracle.

To the poor street people, who have a hand to mouth existence, having something to eat is already a miracle, since they don’t have the permanent means of getting money for their sustenance.

And when we give to this poor people when they least expect it , giving them money to buy foods for that day, is a miracle too for them.

And in this case , we are the angels sent to them by God. Isn’t that wonderful too , when we become angels that way.

So, did you have miracles in your lives too. Maybe you can share it with me.
