Miracles occur, but they certainly do not have to be tied back to what religion says about any of them. Have you ever been given a totally unexpected blessing that had an effect on your life? They don't have to be big things. They are gifts to be grateful for. They come out of nowhere.
I had a flat tire on the street once - in front of Formula One and NASCAR champion Dan Gurney's pit crew. I was on my way in two minutes. I look on that kind of thing as a "what are the odds" miracle. Someone I knew was not surprised when I told the story. He said, "That kind of thing happens to you
all the time." I personally think that kind of thing happens to SO MANY people who disregard that it could have been meant to call attention to itself. I know a lot of people who don't believe in a god, but believe they have a soul, and they have to nourish it, just as they nourish their bodies.
I like your idea of miracles.
Thank you, Leah. Feel free to see how it works for you, and please change it if it doesn't.
