Ordinary Miracles

Honolulu Zoo. Under a tree near the baboons.

It would seem lately that we have a soundtrack to our lives.

Literally.

Naomi loves this song and plays it over and over and over. (You can listen to it by pressing the play button in the right column). She has even choreographed a graceful little dance to it with Kalea.

I admit, I do like it too.

I do not doubt that God is a God of miracles. From the extraordinary series of miracles that brought Naomi and Kalea to our family to the seemingly ordinary miracles we see every day - a sunrise, oranges ripening on the tree, a tired body that continually receives the strength to get out of bed each morning.

It's a reminder to open our eyes to see the miracles, big and small, all around us. If we will look, we will see His hand in our lives.

ORDINARY MIRACLE - Sarah McLachlan
(written by Glen Ballard & David Stewart)

It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all a part

Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Sun comes up and shines so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today

It's just another ordinary miracle today
