Amen! I believe and see miracles happening around me every day. I think the problem for most people is that they expect to see fireworks (or something dramatic) when a miracle happens; they can't see the little ones happening right in front of them. A few weeks ago, a young boy (about 10) visiting at my church said he doesn't really believe in God, but he was taking a survey, asking everyone why they believed in Him. His eyes lit up when I told him, "Because I've seen so many miracles happen right in front of my eyes and right in my hands." He smiled when I said I was going to pray that he would see God's miracles, too. I haven't seen him since, but if God has anything to do with it, I know I'll see him in church one of these days. Thanks for sharing this story, and thank God for the U.S.A. God bless you.
peace was shared along with (a?) bit of love flowing in both directions.

Comment from Gideon Roth
Wow, Bill, this was one of the best use of time spent reading that I have ever engaged in. I am just returning to FanStory after a long absence and I was happy to see those I followed before still posting such good work. This piece was flawless and the message was incredible. You should do very well with this entry...Tim, aka, Gideon

You have stated your case that miracles have existed and do exist today. You have cited several examples of miracles that have occured here in the USA since our independence from Great Britain. Very good composition.

If I had any six's left this wonderful piece would have received it,sir. A beautiful testament of the miracles all around us for those with eyes to see. Bravo,very well spoken and crafted on paper.I believe this attitude of heart is what the Lord referred to as 'faith as a little child'.Beautifully shared. [p.s. My many greats back grandfather,Robert Morris was one of those signers.

A lovely write, as always, Bill. There are, indeed, miracles around us and within us everyday of our lives if we only take time to see and experience them. Ray aka R. K. Alan

Comment from Amicus
This is terrific, Bill...well constructed and full of insight and concrete clear examples of what are, indeed. daily miracles that surround us if only we pause to see them. The prose is smooth flowing and the conversational style the narrator assumes is apt and effective...I enjoyed the read very much. That simple, honest patriotic epiphany with which this essay ends strikes just the right note at just the right time to my way of thinking. Excellent insight and very good writing.

Hi, Bill this is some outstanding writing. From the way you introduced it to the read and your input throughout. Woven very well, my friend. It should qualify for story of the month, actually in my umble opinion.
Bravo! Bob

Comment from anabelle
Interesting post, Bill. I like the different perspective on miracles. It's true that we sometimes get caught up in trying to find huge occurrences, when we could be astounded by the little ones around us. I share your view of the small (and not so small - the plane) as being just as important as the bigger things.
Good luck in the contest.
