Miracles..

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about miracles, even witnessed some over the 3 week break that I have been home. It all started Christmas morning…

            Every year my mom gets my two brothers and I a present that is the same; we can never guess what it is, and it has always drove me crazy. This year was no different, Christmas morning my oldest brother Trevor woke me up. Yes, everyone my oldest brother… Colby was up as well they are still little kids at heart. We went downstairs to open presents, we always wait until the last present to open up mom’s “special” gift. This year for me personally it was extra special… my brothers and I got a DVD, 17 Miracles with a card explaining something different to each of us. My mom knows me better than anyone in the world, and she knew that lately I’ve been a doubter.

            Later on I watched the DVD and started to actually see the miracles that happened throughout it, these miracles are based on the trials that happened when the LDS religion was traveling to Salt Lake City. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the movie. Later after it was over I was driving home, and I thought wow… miracles really do happen, even if they are just something small.

            Now as I said earlier I have been hearing a lot about miracles, and have witnessed some in the past 3 weeks that I have been home. The first that comes to mind, I was with Skylar he got a phone call and I jokingly said, “I bet it’s the missionaries you better answer.” He didn’t but when he called the number back it turned out to be the missionaries. Another night when I was with him, we had just been driving home when he got another phone call, he didn’t answer. Then, I told him he should call back so he does; turns out the missionaries were going to be meeting with him that very night. Also that night he decided to get baptized. Miracle # 1.

            I have a very good friend of mine; she has been one of my very best friends since freshman year in high school. A little background on her Stacia, she got married last year, moved to Arizona, and has just been living the married life. I got a phone call, I missed it and then I listened to a voicemail. I knew the call was urgent so I immediately called her back, and received the news that one of my very best friends is going to be having a baby. Miracle # 2.

            Trust me, I have witnessed small miracles recently as well. Ranging from something simple like seeing an old friend from your past, or having a person you love come back into your life, to something big like my best friend having a baby.  Miracles occur every single day, they may be big, they may be little… we just need to keep our hearts, and eyes open to them. 

It just took a little reminding from my mom (:
