Ordinary Miracles

So you see that I've added a new tab to my entries.

Well how do I say this... I feel that it is something very practical and very, very relevant especially in today's world. Amidst all the gloom, doom and bloom, we need something that we can hold on to - something that we can look upon and it sheds light into our vision, giving hope for tomorrow.

We need something that we can look back upon and really know that God is indeed good. We need the assurance that no matter what happens, there are these little moments that we can take and draw inspiration from.

Because there comes a time when you need to stop and smell the roses. No one has ever conquered Mount Everest and not take in the view from the summit. No one has ever took to the skies without gazing out into the clouds in wonder.

Write your worries in sand; carve your blessings on stone.

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

The sky knows when its 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 rain drop falls
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Birds in winter have their fling
But 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

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
