Mini Miracles and a Little Bit of Grace

This morning, I was sitting at a stop light and got caught in a daze. When I looked up, I saw that the cars in front of me had turned and I was just about to miss the turn signal. I know, I know, I was that person. The amazing thing is that no one behind me honked. No one on this Monday morning, before work, tried to impatiently get my attention. As simple as it sounds, it meant the world to me. I was caught in a daze because I have a million things on my mind right now and I was trying to gather myself to start the week. The small act, or lack of one (honking), was just what I needed. I got a small act of grace. It sounds silly, but it was a tiny little miracle that gave me strength to take on this new week.

Now, I could have just gone on with my day and not noticed this, but I have been talking with the man upstairs *a lot* recently and asked Him to help me hear Him better. This was an opportunity for me to receive Him and He allowed me to notice, and accept, this little bit of grace. It also allowed me to think about how many mini miracles we get every day, but we are usually too busy to observe them.

Anything can be a message from God as long as you have your lines of communication open with Him. It could be a small and unexpected rainbow, a compliment from a stranger, a hug from someone who knows you need one (thanks for that last night, Leesa), five unexpected minutes of quiet to just contemplate or breathe. It could be an extra gesture from someone that you might normally take for granted but truly appreciate this time. It could be a little bloom on the plant you have been desperately trying to keep alive for who knows how long. It could be anything.

This weekend, I asked for God to speak to me. To allow me to hear Him. To help guide me. So today’s post may not make any sense to you — or it could be just the message you need to hear — but it’s my tangible acceptance of the mini miracles He is setting up for me. It’s my way of publicly allowing Him to speak to me and share with whomever needs it.

I hope you all take the time to notice the little messages He sends you every day. My intention for the week is to remain more open to them and try not to allow this world to cloud my mind and heart.
