Most of my life I’ve been in search of IT.
And I thought IT came inside a big box with a bow on top carefully marked and labeled and numbered.
I brushed away all the ‘incidental’ discoveries like cobwebs.
But now everything counts.
Now I search for traces of miracles,
and I find them everywhere.

help me live today – what a great simple prayer. I also will add that to my prayers this week.
Its amazing what we are willing to devalue and step on in an effort to get a little higher and reach for “it”. Lord, Help me to live today, today, and help me to value the love and beauty you have brought into my life and not get side tracked by what I “don’t have.”… especially today.
Living in the present is such a challenge, Mia but one I find I am seeking more and more. He is all around us if we open our hearts and eyes.
I love your blog comment, JoAnne. how clever. glad you stopped by.
You are so right about miracles being everywhere. so true. Thanks for stopping by!
Dear Jean
When we really look live in the present and look around, we will see bushes all around us burning with the presence of our Pappa!
Much love
IT. Oh, yes, I remember you. You plagued my constant thought, polluted my desires. And you betrayed me, never giving what you promised. I look elsewhere now, at least most of the time.
miracles everywhere … and now for keen eyes to see and a tender heart to receive their gifts.
