These are a few of my favorite things…

I have lots of favorite things. My family, of course. I have a favorite book, a favorite song, a favorite singer, a favorite pair of jeans. There’s my favorite food, my favorite cookie sheets, and my favorite vacation spot. This time of year, sitting in the early morning with my tea and Bible and Christmas tree lights is my favorite thing to do. (It’s what I’m doing right now.) I even have a favorite miracle. Hands down, it would be Jesus. Start to finish…from His birth through His life to His death…Jesus is my favorite miracle!

Are you kidding me?!?

Are you kidding me?!?! I have said these words a time or two (or a hundred or a thousand). Well…more times than I care to remember. Can anyone else relate? These are not kind, loving, happy words. Usually these words are spoken in great disbelief, or anger, or offense. Offense can keep us from our miracles….it’s time to let go and see our miracle!

Let’s get a little crazy!

I have done some crazy things in my time. You might not think they are super crazy….I’m not much of a thrill seeker…but I thought they were death-defying feats at the time. Then I met my husband, who is a thrill seeker (shark dives and bungee jumping), and my crazy feats…well…not so much. Check out how living a little crazy can affect your miracle….

Jump in! The water is great!

At the community pool we belong to, they have what is called adult swim. It’s fabulous….for the adults. When they make the announcement for the kids to get back in, it’s a mad dash for the pool. They aren’t supposed to run, but well…ya know….it’s kids, and it’s a pool! You do the math. I imagine the scene to be similar at the pool of Bethesda when the water started to bubble….

If you say so!

“If you say so!” Have you ever said that to anyone? What it really means is, “Ummm, I”m thinking this isn’t going to work, but I’m game to try it anyway just to show you how crazy you are, and then we can do it my way.” When Jesus told Simon Peter to let down his nets in the same place he had caught NOTHING all night, he thought Jesus was crazy….But he said, “If you say so”….and he saw a miracle!
