I don't acknowledge often It's the miracle of everyday The miracle of life It's waking up in the morning Taking that first deep breath Before I rise to begin my day To often I forget to say thanks It's the miracle of sight To see the flowers bloom The awesome colors of nature That explode into vibrant color The miracle to see my children To watch them play or see a smile The miracle to talk to them Or the miracle that allows me to hug A miracle that allows me to hear Or type these words out To take the dog for a walk The miracle of being me Every breath, every day everything I do, I see, I hear Every movement I make All a blessed miracle from God One in which I take for granted far too often forgetting to... Thank God for His miracle of life <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

So true! I see we are thinking of the same things to be thankful for. I just posted a poem along these lines. I enjoyed your poem! Betty Lou Hebert |

Aw, Becky this is so wonderful, and didn't you meet the challenge so beautifully and isn't the miracle of life all we ever need? Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Beautiful expression of God in our lives. Thanks! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

Too often we do take this for granted. I work with a woman who had part of a lung removed after a bout of cancer from smoking. She walks up the stairs and it takes her 20 minutes to catch her breath....thank God, for breath... |

Trillium we sure were thinking along the same lines. I read yours and I loved it! ~Thank you~ Bonnie thank you. We have so much around us that we take for granted.  Ellie, it should be all we need. But human as we are, we still search for more. ~hugs~~Thank you~ Walker! Sharon after my grandmother died of emphysema, I often think about how important our breath is. I think it's one of the worst things not to be able to breathe. [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 03-13-2001).] |

White Dove, I liked the thought of everyday is a miracle... and so true, like you, I take so much for granted. It is commendable of you to thank God for what appears to be so little as our very breath... We surely do have much more to be thankful than not.... Thank you for reminding me to thank God for those simple things in life. Bob <>< |

Thank you Debbie I'm just in that awed kind of mood today, thinking of all the wonderful miracles.Bob I'm so glad it could be a reminder. So little breath may seem, when it's actually very big. Without it, we couldn't live. The blood is our life, I guess we just can't have one without the other. Thanks very much Bob! God bless ya!  |

You didn't mention the miracle of sibling rivalry. Gee, everyone's met this challenge already and I didn't even begin. So true, everything we have is a miracle.Thank you for this lovely piece. Love, Mom |
