Here I go again… touting the virtues of journaling. In fact, this time I will go a step further by offering the miracles of journaling. I’ve discovered the practice of gratitude journaling actually reveals miracles.
The scoop
This is a very trying time, I’m going to assume it is for you too. I have had several set backs and a huge life altering decision heavy on my heart, to the point I actually felt heart sick. At the same time, our family has so many rich blessings to celebrate.
The pages of my journal are a bit schizophrenic lately, celebrating the joyful highs and then diving deep into despair. I am not afraid of feeling the wide range of emotions available to our human heart, but this gave new meaning to having a torn heart.
I practice gratitude, but this time I was crying out for miracles.
Getting connected
There are two ways to live life: One as if nothing is a miracle, the other as if everything is. ~Albert Einstein
Let that sink in.
Are you connected to the miracles in your life?
Journaling is the perfect way to get connected to your life. In fact, as I was lamenting my need for miracles I had an epiphany. Instead of journaling gratitude, what if I create a list of miracles? Could I find a miracle in my life? Could I come up with ten miracles?
The miracle
And just like that miracles opened to me.
Miracle: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs. {I’d like to add intervention in human hearts}
Miracles aren’t rare, reserved for the special people. If you are aware, you will start seeing extraordinary events unfold in normal every day life.
Heck, YOU are a miracle. Statistically you have a one in 400 trillion chance of being born.
“That’s a pretty big number,” I thought to myself. If I had 400 trillion pennies, I could probably build a decent-sized penny fortress with it. ~ Mel Robbins
