How did he tie all those knots with me watching him so closely? I loved the mystery of it all!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-41401\" alt=\"Margaret Terry\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/blog_margaretterry_250.jpg\" style=\"width: 250px;height: 375px;margin-left: 15px;margin-right: 15px;float: right\" \/>Over the years I&rsquo;ve learned to catch the sleight of hand when a magician palms a red spongy ball, and more than once I&rsquo;ve caught him slipping the gold coin into his heavily starched cuff.<\/p>\n<p>It feeds my ego to catch the trick, but it also makes me sad to lose the mystery that delighted me as a young girl.<\/p>\n<p>Thank God for miracles! Miracles are unexplainable, and no one can ever catch their trick&ndash;miracles seem natural, yet they contradict nature as we know it. Maybe that&rsquo;s why so many people have a hard time believing what they see and instead choose doubt over awe.<\/p>\n<p>Not me. I&rsquo;ve seen an eagle with his beady amber eyes soar a hundred feet above a spring-fed lake and swoop down to catch a pickerel minding his own business a foot under the surface of the darkest waters.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve seen tiny crocus buds with lavender petals soft as a baby&rsquo;s eyelash birth their way through wet, crusty snow. Miracles both.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps miracles are supposed to tickle the child in us to remind us that mystery is magic. What greater mystery than making a blind man see? Or feeding 5000 hungry people with only five loaves of bread?<\/p>\n<p>Today when I read the stories of Jesus&rsquo; miracles, I don&rsquo;t ask how he did it, and I don&rsquo;t search for a logical explanation like I did with those illusion makers of my childhood. My faith tells me Jesus did it because he is God.<\/p>\n<p>Mystery? Yes. But as Einstein said, the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>Miracles are also one of God&rsquo;s ways of getting our attention. I know he got mine. It&rsquo;s a miracle I&rsquo;m here.<\/p>\n<p>Two people have tried to kill me. The first person was my mother. When she discovered at 18 years old she was pregnant with me, the shame for a good Catholic girl was crushing.<\/p>\n<p>She felt her only option was to throw herself down a flight of concrete stairs to kill the baby. Mom was battered and bruised, but my teeny heart continued to beat.<\/p>\n<p>The second person who tried to end my life was me. Twenty-seven years later, I was in the same situation as Mom. Different circumstances, but still felt like I was out of options.<\/p>\n<p>On a rainy Sunday night, I made a plan to drive my car off a mountain pass. I pushed the accelerator to the floor and sped down the pass until I reached the opening where I&rsquo;d decided to steer my little Volkswagen through the guardrail into the black void.<\/p>\n<p>When I tried to turn the wheel, I couldn&rsquo;t. The steering wheel had locked. I yanked it with both arms and every bit of strength I had, but it wouldn&rsquo;t budge. I don&rsquo;t remember how, but my little car managed to steer itself home.<\/p>\n<p>Miracle. The word conjures up images of being healed, of being saved. Miracle. Gifts from heaven made in heaven. I used to believe there were big miracles and little miracles. But I&rsquo;m not so sure God measures miracles.<\/p>\n<p>Whether helping a blind man see or designing eagle eyes, I think every miracle is God talking to us. <em>Open your eyes.<\/em> <em>See this. Here I am<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty years ago on a dark rainy night when life made me feel I had no options, a miracle showed me I did.<\/p>\n<p><em>This miracle was excerpted from Margaret&rsquo;s book<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/deardeb?int_source=BlogPost&amp;int_medium=EmbeddedLink&amp;int_campaign=DearDeb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dear Deb: A Woman With Cancer, A Friend With Secrets, And The Letters That Became Their Miracle<\/a> <em>published by Thomas Nelson.
