Journal 67: A Miracle

      A miracle is when something supernatural happens and we cannot explain it. It usually apply to good things instead of bad ones. Or if something that seems impossible or very hard to be done is finished, we call that a miracle too. For example, if an old man that have serious cancer magically recovers, we will call it a miracle.  A miracle is different from something that is simply fortunate, or unusual because a miracle contains an element of holiness that the other two don’t. If I win a lottery, that is unexpected, unusual and fortunate but it is not a miracle because it does not contain a element of holiness. Miracle seems to be perform by god, so it has to be something that would help the essence of life or good things that god would do. Just simply winning a lottery is not a miracle, but if I need 1 million to save someone’s life then wins the lottery. It is a miracle.

         I don’t think I have ever witness a miracle, not that I can remember of. If this example counts, I am witnessing a miracle right now. I find out that I have Shingles I think it is a miracle it does not hurt as much like it normally does if get Shingles. And it would be a miracle that I am almost recover from it already. Shingles usually took 2 weeks to a month to recover but it only took me one week. I think it is a miracle.
