The impact of these stories upon many of us is that they invalidate our own powers of creation. We are left with the feeling that we are powerless to create miracles, or perhaps that all the miracles of the world have been used up. You are now my chosen one. Sorry for my outburst, but sometimes we forget that it is possible for all of us to bring miracles into our daily life. They may be perceived as being a little smaller than parting the Red Sea or raising Lasarus from the dead, but we can all take ownership of them, create them for ourselves, and bring them into our lives.
Miracles are like Tootsie-roll pops because there is always a surprise on the inside.
For some, miracles need to be nurtured, suckled, licked, and sucked until they get to the chewy center. For many of us, we are unaware of our role in their ideation, their creation, or their manifestation. Sometimes we choose not to validate their occurrence. There are also many people who are under the impression that all you have to do us ask the universe, pray to God, or wish for miracles to occur. Unfortunately for those individuals, they have not figured out that sitting home, watching TV, and waiting for someone to come knocking at your door with an opportunity does not happen very often.
