A miracle happened this morning. I somehow
didn't wake up at 5.30 a.m. when my alarm went off - probably too tired and sleepy.
Suddenly woke up at 5.50 a.m. – a whole 20 minutes later - and rushed through
all my work, including making chapathis for breakfast, watering my plants and
of course, breaking the bun into pieces for my senior 4-legged friend.
On my walk to the nearest bus stop (nearly 30 mins. from home), I kept praying and said “Jesus, I count on you and I depend
on you only, today also as always. I slept beyond time I know, but did all the
work as per my duty, now I don't want to get late. Only you can help me.”
After some time, Srinivas (not his real name), a guy from
my apartments stopped by me, and asked me, “Do you want me to drop you
somewhere madam?” I said “Yes, yes, I am late” and got onto his bike. He had
dropped me quite a distance on the first day we shifted to my new workplace, but
after that I had not met him at all. Probably he started late from home,
while I would have already reached the road and got into my bus.
I was really touched the way God helped me so instantly, as though He
was right next to me and heard me say my prayer to Him.
I shared my thoughts with Srinivas and said thanks for helping me when I
was so desperately in need. I told him I believed in praying and he really
helped today.
He immediately responded saying that it was not he who helped me, but my
prayers that helped me.
Couldn’t
help being impressed by his humility.
May his
tribe keep increasing. Let’s pray without ceasing.
Life is full of miracles :)

I believe in the philosophy - that it only HE does everything and we are only tools and means for His acts. As a human soul, we must have Complete Faith in Him that He will take care of me all the time. Your micro story only reinforces that belief of mine!

Hi Deepa,
Sure miracles do happen every day and minute of our lives. We just are not aware of it.
Like the other day when I lit the gas stove there was a leak where the tube is connected to the stove, (first of all I thanked God that it was me who switched on the stove first and not my daughter or husband) I quickly switched off the stove and was happy no cooking for once in my long life time, (other wise my conscience does not permit me not to cook.) Later I was thinking, what if the tube caught fire and melted then the cylinder would have burst, and we would have a very grave situation on hands. That's when I told my husband that miracles happen every time only we are not aware of it and take life for granted. I did thank God for protecting me always.
