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.
