I have been thinking a lot about miracles lately.  I’ve been wondering what makes an event a miracle?  Last night I got on my computer and did some research trying to find out how others define what a miracle is.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a miracle is defined as “an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.” This sounds good but it seemed too complicated, almost scientific, to me so I looked further. 

I found on thefreedictionary.com the following: a miracle is “An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.”  Again, this sounded good but really didn’t hit home for me.

The other day I asked everyone if they would answer a question.  The question was: List, in order, the three most important things in your life.

The following is a summary of the top answers that were posted.  I have organized them into groups of answers that were similar.  In no particular order, the answers included:

• God, Jesus, Faith (#1 in a majority of responses)
• Family, Children
• Friends
• Health
• Sobriety, Recovery
• Happiness, Peace, Love
• Home, Country

Today I have a question that I would like everyone to take a few minutes to think about and answer.

 There is no right or wrong answer and please don’t give an answer just because you think that is what others might want to hear. Oh, and no cheating! Please don’t look at other answers before you post yours.

Here’s the question: List, in order, the three most important things in your life.

I don’t know about you but I have found that there seems to be a certain time of the day that God works on me.  For me, this is generally about three in the morning.

As grateful as I am that God spends time with me or working on me, I find that His intervention at three in the morning leads to some very bleary-eyed days.

Generally, I find that at 3am, I wake with wonderful ideas swirling around in my head; ideas that I would not have normally thought of but that make me realize that it must be God trying to work through me and my writing.
