If you are a religious or spiritual individual, you may have been taught that miracles happen when there is no hope of a positive outcome. The Websters dictionary definition of the word miracle is: an extraordinary event that manifests divine intervention in human affairs, or an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment. I wonder what is the level of extreme for an event, thing, or accomplishment to manifest a divine miracle? Someone may experience or observe different traumas where a divine miracle could be helpful, but does not occur.
These traumas may involve financial struggles, emotional, mental, or physical pain. The traumas from unkind behavior toward others, natural weather disasters, and violence has increased. Are opportunities or possibilities the replacement for miracles? Some individuals believe that the opportunity for safety or the possibilities of avoiding danger, debt, or pain is more sustainable than a miracle.
During times of trauma one needs hope, resiliency, strength, and support. Maybe a different type of miracles are developed from opportunities and possibilities discovered during extremely outstanding or unusual events, things, or accomplishments. Trauma of financial struggles or emotional/mental/physical pain can feel heavy and never ending. Everyone needs the opportunity to financially, mentally and physically heal to slightly move forward.
With healing comes the possibilities of reducing the grief and struggle from a trauma. That could be the extra cost to a human, not divine, miracle.
