miracles abound

There are times when I read or hear things as I go along my day that really get stuck in my head. Sort of like a last-song-syndrome, except it's a sentence, a phrase, even just a word. Does that make sense? Like the phrase just keeps playing in your head as if to say, remember this...it's important. Well, this is one of those things...and from time to time, I will post such quotes under this topic heading.

"Miracles abound around us. We need only to have a sensitive and listening heart; an openness to be touched by the power of the Almighty who surrounds us with abundant miracles." (Fr. Atilano Coscuera, SVD)

This reminds me of a romantic comedy I once watched (and for the life of me, I cannot remember the title! Chandler was in it! hahaha), but anyway, the main gist of the movie was that SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE. Sometimes I guess it's just a matter of interpreting the signs correctly. Or seeing signs that are actually there, not ones that we would like to see. I must admit, I fall into that trap, too, then I start to second guess myself. And that just leads to a completely different story, unless I catch myself.

Sigh...the challenges of life! I don't think it's humanly possible to actually read all the signs right all the time. But I can only hope that if I screw up the road map, I encounter a U-turn and find my way back so I can take the right path. And sometimes, detours aren't all that bad, at least they keep life interesting. If you get lost, stop and enjoy the scenery. But don't wait too long, the road back could change...then you're lost for life!

Just now, for some strange reason, Lead Me Lord just popped up in my head...Go figure, right?
