the miracle is you!

yesterday i went for cell group and got to see my cg leaders' new baby =) she's called erin, and she's the sweetest little red tomato (meant with all the best intentions) i've ever seen! =) she's got tiny fingers and tiny toes and stretches a lot. heh

anyways... as i watched her sleep, suddenly struck by the thought/realisation that any moment, when her parents' backs are turned, she could suddenly stop breathing. or choke on her saliva. or.. something...

it just reminded me at that point, how fragile life really is. every moment is really a gift from God - an evidence of His protection and blessing and presence. and it made me feel very loved and thankful that i have had 24 years of my life, that i am still 'alive and kicking'!

so, i guess what i learnt is that life itself really is a miracle. we often ask for signs and wonders to decipher God's plans for us or to assure ourselves that He is truly there, but in fact, the fact that we are here - walking, talking, breathing - is a miracle!

think about it: we're walking around miracles, evidences of God, all day long! =)
