I recently became aware of a beautiful song by Sarah Mclachlan, “Ordinary Miracle”,  which expresses the heart-view of “Miracles and Grace”.

We hustle around so fast these days, that  it is easy to miss the abundance of ordinary, everyday miracles, even when they are right under our noses.

C.S. Lewis wrote:  “Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see”.

If you want to both listen and follow the words- -

ORDINARY MIRACLE

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
Go give some of your own

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

Birds in winter have their fling
Will 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
The 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
