Would You Share Your "Small Miracles" With Others?

Hello Friends

I know this sounds like a strange request.

I am asking you to share any stories of small

miracles you may have experienced in your

daily life. I am not talking about huge,

glorious or life-changing miracles, (though

I know many people have experienced those as well)

what I am seeking is those little, everyday

incidents that impact our lives but go largely

unnoticed by others.

These can be as simple as a stranger offering

comfort at a time when it was really needed

with no explanation as to why they were there

for you at the right time.

It could be an unexplained delay in your plans

for the day that resulted in avoiding some

kind of disaster or tragedy that would have

befallen you if not for that delay.

It could be as simple as taking a different

route to work for no particular reason that

just happened to put you in the right place at

the right time to witness an accident and call

911 to assist the injured.

Or maybe you had an unusual urge to contact a

family member and found out later that your

call helped bring new hope to that person when

they were feeling totally alone and unloved.

These are the kind of stories that I am asking

you to share with me in the hopes that I may

compile a collection for publication so that

many people may take hope in the everyday

"little" miracles that are all around us.

If you would like to share your stories of

small miracles and possibly provide some proof

of the great spirit that still remains strong

in the world, please send your stories to:

Here is an example of a small miracle that

happened to me only 1 week ago:

****Start Story****

I make my living as a taxi driver and had just

delivered a young soldier to his base in Lawton, OK

which is about 70 miles from my home in Norman, OK.

I had just gotten on the turnpike to go home at

about 4 am on that Sunday morning and was travelling

at the speed limit of 75 MPH. when a large deer

jumped the concrete divider separating

the two sides of the turnpike and landed directly

in front of the Lincoln Towncar I was driving.

I had no time to reach the brake before I hit the

deer dead center between theheadlights of the car.

Both airbags exploded and I was thrown forward into

airbag and the steering wheel. Though I thought I

broke an arm, it turned out that it was only bruised

and badly scraped. (First small miracle) I was able

to keep control of the car and safely pulled to the

shoulder.

(If I had been 1/2 a second earlier, the deer would

have still been in the air and would have come directly

through the windshield, almost definitely killing me)

I called the taxi company to report the incident and

get help as both headlights were out on the car. They

immediately sent another car to rescue me. After an

hour and a half wait the other car arrived and to my

surprise it contained 2 of the owners and one other

driver. (Second small miracle at least to me because

I had no idea that these people cared so much for me)

We determined that only the front end had superficial

damage and the car was drivable although with no

headlights. The moon was near full so we were able

to follow the other car back to Norman.

Now here is the biggest of the "Small Miracles" that

happened that Sunday morning:

Upon reaching Norman, we pulled into a Love's gas

station to refuel. A man walked up to us and was

looking at the damage to the car.

Amazingly, he was a body mechanic who was travelling

through Norman on his way to Wichita, Kansas. He was

stranded at this station with his wife and two very

small children sleeping in the car. They were out of

food, gas and money and had no idea how to make the

last 200 miles of their journey.

This man and the owner of the taxi company came to

an agreement that the man would follow us to the taxi

shop where we had another old taxi that had the parts

needed to fix the front end and that he would do the

work that same day for only $200! (This was more than

likely a $1200 repair job)

The owner's wife was gracious enough to take the family

out to McDonalds and put them up in a hotel room for

the day while the man completed the work on the car

which was finished the same day as promised. The young

couple was able to make the rest of their journey and

the cab company saved $1000 and we all felt wonderful

to be able to help this nice family.

I don't know how to compute the odds of finding an

experienced body man in need of work at 7:00 am on a

Sunday morning but I'm sure they are astronomical.

I firmly believe that the deer I hit sacrificed its

life to provide for a young family in need and that

my lack of serious injury was due to God's protection.

I thank the Lord for "Small Miracles"!

I truly hope that a collection of such stories

that God is with us even when we think we are

alone.

Your help in compiling this collection of

stories may just turn out to be a "little miracle"

in itself and may make a difference in the life

of someone you don't even know.

Thank you for your compassion for your fellow man

and your continued faith that small miracles

do indeed happen everyday.

Take care and God bless

Well, here recently, I took my car for an oil change to my mechanic. I've been short of $$$ and I knew he would put it on credit for me. My wife had went to work, praise the Lord, and the oil was way overdue for a change. I bought the oil and filter and took it up to my mechanic, along with a set of plugs for the car, and had him perform the needed work. He refused to even charge me! As a matter of fact, the last few times I've taken stuff to him, he's refused to charge me!

One of many miracles...... well , none are small.

One Friday night , we went to a meeting of a group in houston called turning point ministries int. . IT is a group of street ministers like myself. that used to meet on friday nights before going on the streets to minister to the lost..... in such places as gay bars, crack houses.... and around burning barrels in the winner time.. These are some of the hardest places to minister to. But that is another story.

This one night a man was visiting from Ireland... after he spoke . HE walked through the audience . ministering to people .

HE walked up to me and said THE LORD IS HEALING YOUR LIVER RIGHT NOW. YOU see when i was young before i got saved i was an alcholic.. and my liver was almost destroyed from it. ...... now this was seventeen years afther i had gotten saved.

wow what a small miracle....... how in the first place did he even know that i have ever taken a driink. and that my liver was damaged. except the LORD GOD SHOWED HIM ...... GLORY BE TO THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN ... FOR OUR SINS AND OUR SICKNESSED

THAT IS ONE OF MY MIRACLES THAT THE LORD GOD DID FOR ME.... AMEN AND AMEN

I WILL SHARE MORE LATER

GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ....... IF YOU ARE LOST READING THIS THREAD.... I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE THE TRUTH OF THE LOVE OF THE LORD HAS FOR HIS CHILDREN AMEN

Praise the Lord, Gladiator! Isn't it so odd how God moves? Makes me think of another miracle:

We don't actually "own" the house we live in. It belongs to my parents, but my dad moved out several years ago leaving my mother to make the payments on it. We moved in (wife and kids and I) and we were like 6 months behind on the payment. I knew in reason one day we would walk out to the mailbox and find some sort of a notice telling us to GET OUT. Finally got a letter one day saying that due to the fact my dad had filed bankruptcy that no one was under obligation to pay, but we would have to evict if payment wasn't made. I had been praying all of this time just to get caught up and I figured I'd let the Lord take it from there! Well, we managed to pay the house off on time, was charged no interest and we live in a free and clear house!
