Do you Believe in Every-day Miracles

Here is one that did not come through the scripture but came via a phone call. I had been watching a special on television about the prophets in early times. They would go out away from civilization to be able to hear the voice of God. I told God it’s a shame that I am not in touch with his daily miracles. The next morning I received a call from my son Kevin asking me if I had heard from my mother. He asked if she had happened to call me and that he had just seen a woman on the side of the freeway and that the car was smoking and it looked like hers. Then he said, “Hold on it is Gram. I’ll call you back…” I assumed my mom was probably on her way in to have her car serviced at one of our repair shops and had called my son when she had possibly had some problems with her car. I was not concerned since my son had found her and I knew they would be taking her into the shop.

A little later in the morning, I received a call from my mother who was now at work and explained to me that angels must have been at work that morning. That it was a miracle that her grandsons had found her.

My two sons and grandsons were heading out of town to ride their motorcycles. The shop was closed since it was a holiday.

My 74-year-old mother lives approximately 20 miles from the shop and from where my sons live. They just happened to be going down the freeway at the same time my mother was on her way to work and started having car troubles. She had pulled over to the side of the freeway when the boys passed her on the freeway and decided to turn around to see if that was her car. In her review mirror, she saw a big truck pull up behind her car as she called my stepfather on her cell phone. She started to feel the panic of being alone in the car and vulnerable. When she looked up from her phone there was her grandson’s smiling face at the driver’s door window and she burst into tears. She was so happy and relieved.

The boys helped her into the backseat of the truck where she was seated with her two great-grandsons. They then moved her car off the busy highway. It was arranged for her car to be taken to our family-owned repair shop. The four boys then gave her a ride to work. The boys had been heading out for a day of fun on their motorcycles little did they know what this special day would bring. My mother believes this is one of God’s everyday miracles.
