Grateful for the Ordinary

Grateful for the Ordinary

Did you wake up this morning? Were you in a bed, under a roof, perhaps near someone you love?

Did the sun rise again, as it always has? Do you hear the birds, the wind, the subtle hum of life? Are you reading this now—eyes to see, a mind to understand?

If you’re looking for a miracle, turn on the faucet. Watch clean water pour out—something over 3 billion people live without. Brew your coffee. Sit in your favorite chair. Let that settle in.

We often overlook the extraordinary disguised as ordinary. We are alive. We exist. That alone is sacred. That alone is miraculous.

But we crave something bigger—some grand sign, some otherworldly proof. And when we don’t get it, we act as though God hasn’t done enough. That mindset, whether we realize it or not, is a quiet resentment.

Today, take inventory. See the grace in your everyday surroundings. Notice the divine hiding in plain sight. When you truly pay attention, the “ordinary” reveals itself to be anything but.

To the mind, it may seem mundane. But to the eternal soul, it’s everything.

“Better is a little with reverence for the Lord than great wealth with inner turmoil.” – Proverbs 15:16

Go forth, my brothers and sisters. Open your eyes. See the small miracles—for they are the greatest of them all.
