Friday's Fire: Ordinary Miracles

3/8/2013

I recently  had the privilege of taking my 4 year old niece with me on a shopping  expedition.  My brother and sister-in-law needed a break (did I mention that she's 4?), so I volunteered to give them a few hours' respite.  With the exception of some choice words I exchanged with the car seat, we had a perfect auntie-niece expedition.
 
Together we went to the grocery store, walked the dog, explored the wonders of Target, and visited Grandma's house.  There was nothing extraordinary about the day--no special insights presented themselves.  We sang our way through the stores, let the dog enjoy a run and got cake at Grandma's. Our time together was simple and unplanned:  an everyday miracle.   

What about you?  Do you enjoy the miracles that present themselves each day?  A four year old's laughter, a whirl around the grocery store?  

May you enjoy the ordinary today, knowing that in each day, you will find a miracle--even in the aisles at Target.
