Miracles

Every day a million miracles begin at sunrise.

– Eric Jerome Dickey

At the beginning of each day and before the next sunrise:

My heart will beat about 103,680 times;

I will breathe in and out more than 20,000 times;

I will blink my eyes about 15,000 times;

I will see in three dimensions, in “ living color; ”

I will be able to walk, think, and speak.

All of these things occur without me really giving them much thought.

But I probably should do more than just give them a passing thought. These (and other) easy-to-take-for-granted aspects of my life should regularly be a part of the blessings I thank God for.

It’s easy to miss the miracles . . . taking place right before our eyes.
But when we look attentively, we see blessings budding all around us

– Eugene H. Peterson,
   Commentary on Psalm 103 in The Message

O my soul, bless God,
don’t forget a single blessing!

– Psalm 103:2 (The Message)
