Discovering the Miracles in Your Life

The other day, I was asking my Team (angels, guides, etc.) to give me a big tangible miracle....something that was extremely obvious so I wouldn't miss it.

The answer that came back to me was, "And we would ask you to be the one to discover the miracle for yourself instead."

Huh?  It was further explained that we are given miracles every day, but we fail to see them.

Well, that was my point to begin with.  Give me a BIG one so I won't fail to see it.  Duh!  Ha ha!

Then they said, "By looking deeper and making these discoveries on your own, you will open your intuitive sight even more...seeing what was not previously seen...gaining a true appreciation for the miracles that are around you every day."

So today I was outside in the backyard for a while before I came in to get a drink of water.  Both my daughters asked me if I had seen the huge butterfly out there with me.  No, I hadn't.  I was bummed because those are usually my signs from Heaven and I couldn't figure out how I missed that.  Even though I had pulled the "Hello from Heaven" card this morning, somehow the sign must have been for my girls.

Later in the afternoon before I went to the gym, I was walking into the living room when I noticed a huge butterfly outside the window flying towards my front door.  Excited, I immediately went to the door and opened it to see it...except it wasn't there.  Where did it go?  I looked up and at that moment realized there was a hummingbird sitting on one of the vines above my head.  We have flowering vines that have grown up along the walls of the house and across the top ceiling to our front door entrance.  He didn't fly away, nor did he seem scared of me.  Very slowly, I moved outside, thinking he would definitely fly away then.  He did not.  He chirped at me and zinged his little wings in his super fast way, but he stayed put looking at me.  As we stared at one another, I discovered in that moment, my miracle and joy.

So what if it wasn't the lotto, a new house or car, or anything else materialistic.  This was a miracle in its purest, simplest form waiting for me to discover what a wonderful gift it was.  It wasn't until I walked back into the house that he flew away.  Had I been handed something, I would have been appreciative, but I wouldn't have seen it in the same light as I did when looking deeper at what was in front of me.  You have to love these moments!
