You are a miracle
Next time you are feeling insignificant in this vast world or “not enough,” think about this: the fact that you are alive just the way you are is a miracle. You are a miracle.
miracle noun mir·a·cle \ ˈmir-i-kəl \ 1: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs; 2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.
Merriam-Webster
Whichever definition you choose…whatever your spiritual beliefs…your life is a miracle.
If your parents…two unique individuals among all the billions of people on earth…had not met, you would not exist in the exact form that you are. If either set of your grandparents hadn’t met, your parents wouldn’t exist as they are, and so you would not.
You get the idea. Keep going back to the beginning of life on earth…and then further still to the creation of this planet…the solar system…the Universe. Each step required an intricate set of circumstances and a governing power. Your existence is a miracle.
As you move through life, you quite literally bring all of your ancestors with you…all the elements of the Universe that combined to create you.
You are a miracle. Carry on with your miraculous life.

I have always loved the thought how every single person is a miracle. Just the odds of being born on our planet. I read an interesting book recently written by a highly skilled, science based, knowledgeable, astronaut. He made a similar point and I agree with you. Thank you for your feel good, beautiful words. ?
It is pretty amazing when you stop to think about it, isn’t it Erica? Have a lovely day!
Hi, Christie – Our thoughts are currently in the same place (this seems to happen frequently). Richard and I were just discussing how neither of us seldom speak of regret. If we change even one small event in our past, we change the future 100- fold. All roads have led me here (including my parents meeting when they were both dating someone else). D For that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for your uplifting post.
I agree 100 percent, Donna. There are things I could have done different…better even…but at what cost. I, for one, am grateful that your parents met and had a family together, which produced you, my friend. All my best to you and Richard!
This is beautiful, Christie. I just recently mentioned to my husband what a mistake it was for my parents (both now deceased) to have seven children together … but it was NOT a mistake, as you point out, it truly is a miracle. And I am sincerely thankful for that miracle, unseemly as it may have been.
I couldn’t agree more, Lisa. My mother was married three times and had six children. It probably wasn’t the “wise” thing to do, but I sure love our big messy beautiful family!
I love this. And you, my miraculous aunt.
Thank you Liz, my sweet miraculous niece. I love you too.
❤️❤️❤️
That was beautiful Christie – as a Christian I always see God’s hand in the design of our universe – right down to the individuality and uniqueness of each little aspect of creation. I love how we’re all different but share a common humanity – it’s the connections between us that reinforce the miracle of who we each are.
Thank you Leanne. All life is a miracle. Larry and I have been watching some nature programs recently, and the diversity of living creatures on this planet is truly incredible. Our connection with each other and all living things is what makes this life so precious.
What a good reminder that we really are all miraculous! Wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone realized that? ❣️
Yes, it would, Cindy. I love you.
Hi Christie, what a lovely post! Think how amazing we, and the world, would be if all children were taught this at school, and at home! xx
Thank you Cheryl. I couldn’t agree more. I’m doing my best to spread the word. ?
When you look at it this way we’re all pretty amazing really…
Yes we are, Joanne.
The facts of creation blow my mind. The intricacies of our working bodies and minds are beyond amazing. A Miracle indeed.
Our Julie would like us to feature this post in the next Blogger’s Pit Stop.
