Miracles Come in Many Sizes

Sometimes I have to remind myself to acknowledge and be thankful for all the small miracles that happen in my life. I'm not sure that it's necessarily that they go unnoticed, as much as I just begin taking them for granted. Life is just sweeter when we notice all the small components that make up a bigger, more noticeable miracle. 
I have to add myself and my own family members to that list of unnoticed miracles. To begin to see the big picture of the larger miracles in our lives, we have to acknowledge ourselves first. After all, we are all miracles. All of the lessons, hard work, and yes, even the minuscule steps that we have taken to keep moving forward. When we do this,  It is basically giving ourselves credit for everything that we have accomplished or have been able to withstand. And more importantly giving thanks to God for all the blessings that we have received and continue to receive.  Acknowledging and being grateful for the growth within us that has and continues to make us unique opens our universe to more miracles. 
By giving myself credit, honoring my uniqueness, and being grateful for who I am, it opens my heart and soul to all of the miracles that are supposed to happen in my life. I live more harmoniously with life, and therefore I am more joyful, as well as thankful for everything that I have. It all starts by taking the time and effort to acknowledge all the different miracles in and around our lives.
