Well, I don’t believe in them as being intentionally created for me, or religious.

But when good things happen in spite of slim odds, I call it a miracle if the odds were really that slim.

Yes, I have experienced such things. Many times.
Some of them resulting in that I survived.

Another one is when my father was said to not make it through the night and I was in another continent, trying to get out my passport which was locked into an Ambassador’s safe and he was on a Safari.
I went home the following day on a written slip instead of a passport, and I got an entire week with my father before he died.
Such things are miracles.

In general, everything you see around yourself are miracles.

But what it is… hrm, I’d check Wikipedia for it.

Miracles. I am a single mom and my son who is now five years old had congenital heart disease which the docs spotted on the first few weeks of his life. Alone, lonely and desperate, it was a miracle that i had friends to have saved me from worrying too much and at least gave me moral support. All throughout my pregnancy, i lived by myself. It was in the hope of survival that i did not give up even once. He had his surgery and another miracle happened. We were told he could not make it, but he did.

Not all people believe in miracles. But it is when we are in our downest moments when we could look back on life’s greatest blessings and we’d realize that some things are worth fighting for. And having to realize such could also be named as miracles.

No faith living in my brain = no belief.

I’ve never experienced any in any sense, nor have I seen any evidence of any. All I’ve seen/heard is a combination of jumbled eye-witness accounts and scientific explanations. Therefore, I cannot answer the other question, because the word is far too transiently defined.

I know what you’re saying… But, if I may :-) If it was a miracle that you had the extrodinarily special friends, then I would have to say that you are also a miracle. Had it not been for you, your kind heart, high spirit, and love for life, you would not have attracted the friends you needed to have around while you brought your son into this world.

I posted a similar post, and a really good reply I got was that, Miracles can be things like someone being cured of a dreadful disease like cancer.
They don’t have to be out of this world to be a miracle :)

I miricle can mean anything, everyone has their own idea as to what a miricle is.
Some people will say it is something magic or mysticle, others will say it is to do with God.
My miricle is my 2 boys being born, and being healthy.

Wikipedia: “A miracle, derived from the old Latin word miraculum meaning “something wonderful”, is a striking interposition of divine intervention by a supernatural being in the universe by which the ordinary course and operation of Nature is overruled, suspended, or modified.”

Ain’t my post, but thank you Sag for that :). I could cry over those. Very good and strong memories that made me stronger today. Thank you.

Yes, I believe in miracles.

I was deaf as a baby due to a head injury and doctors said that they couldn’t operate on me and that I would never hear again.
My mom believed in God and in the power of prayer. At age 4 she decided to put her faith into action and took me to a prayer meeting at a local church. The minister had her bring me up to the front and everyone prayed in the name of Jesus Christ and believed God for me to be healed.

Nothing happened that same day, but my mom didn’t stop believing God to heal me.
One Winter day I was outdoors playing in the snow when a snow plow came down the street.
When mom came out to check on me, she noticed me stiff in the snow and not moving. She came and noticed that I was scared stiff and she brought me inside. When she took off my snowsuit, I was soaking wet inside my suit and that’s when she discovered that I was able to hear sounds around me for the first time.

The noise of the plow was the first thing I ever heard and it scared me really badly, causing me to sweat inside my suit and I believe I also peed my pants.
Mom took me to the doctors and they checked me out and concluded that it was a miracle. I should not have been able to hear at all due to the injury I had.

When I was a baby, my dad had been beating up my mom. One day he had me in one arm while he took a swipe at my mom with his other fist. My head hit the bannister post in the stairwell very hard and caused injury to my head which had resulted in deafness.

So now, at age 4, I was suddenly hearing perfectly with no signs that my head had ever been previously injured.
Now that I was able to hear, I had to learn to talk. So my mom had me put into speech therapy and also continued to take me in for scheduled periodic hearing tests. I was able to attend kindergarten at age 6 and was still going for hearing tests until I was in grade 1. My hearing remained perfect and still does to this very day.
God heard my mom and others praying for me at age 4, but didn’t heal me until days later. He seen that my mom didn’t stop believing just because I wasn’t healed during that church service. I believe that it was my mom’s unfailing faith that helped bring about that miracle back then.

The fact is that I could have still been something today even if I had remained deaf all these years. There are many people who are deaf and are successful in life. The purpose for my healing was to show my mom and others that God is faithful and His power is real.

FAITH is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.

Miracles exist… YOU my dear are proof of that :)

Hrm…
Farah killed it, with the Wikipedia definition. The derivation from “something wonderful” is OK, if it staid by that I would believe in them.

But I don’t buy the divine intervention, I don’t believe in miracles if that is valid.
Because that triggers off the question why there is not divine intervention in other cases, where miracles were truly needed.

If we are supposed to believe in a such divinity but that “there are reasons” for why interventions are not made more often…
Well, then the creation has more than flaws, our brains would be “a shot in the bunker”, as a golfer would have put it.
Drop another ball, it is not even worth to look for the old ball…

Just being alive…what more do you need?

Hrm… “WantMore”…
…what more do you want?
hehe

(sorry - couldn’t resist…)

LOL…you are the first one to ask that in the almost seven months I have been here. Kudos.

I want more out of life than what I had when I got here. More than coming home and watching tv (I got rid of it). More than worrying about what others think (I have actually started wearing slipper when I go out of the house when I feel like it). More than trying to keep up with the Jones’s, more than just being a consumer.

I want to have a life that is constantly changing, ever evolving. I saw a reader board today that puts it together nicely “When growth stops, decay begins”.

I’ve never had anything really amazing happen so, no.

grego that really is a remarkable story. and like lazy i agree that everyone is free to define a miracle as they like, including good things that one wants to appreciate.

however i do not believe in miracles in the sense that things happen that contradict the laws of nature. things may happen which APPEAR to contradict nature. even if you had been raised from the dead, there would be an unknown scientific explaination.

based only on their perspectives, people call things miracles that are merely astonishing events. something prayed for that actually happens is a pleasant coincidence, not a miracle. when the same person prays, and then what they ask for does not happen, they say, ‘it wasn’t God’s will.’ that’s rationalization. in a world this big, the odds are that someone will have a very positive experience with seemingly miraculous timing.

i have had some amazing experiences. at the time i considered them miracles, but only because i wanted to believe. now, i would not respect a god who favored one person over the other. that god would either be prejudiced or incompetent or even cruel. believing that God miraculously heals some and not others is like a nation saying ‘God is on our side.’ a loving God would not heal one deaf child, and leave untold thousands in silence. that said, i’m glad you can hear.

i wouldn’t rain on anyone’s miracle parade, you can believe or not believe as you wish, but in my opinion the most insidious form of deception in the world..

is self deception.

Thank you guys!!
You really helped me understand.
I am just waiting for a miracle.

okay, good luck. But sometimes, you got to make it happen.:)

You said you are waiting for a miracle. What kind of miracle do you want?

I like a lot of what’s already been said here regarding miracles. Looking at the slight odds of life evolving the way it has, anything could be considered a miracle.

Yes i do believe in miracles. I can’t like give u a full definition for it but i knw what it is. and i have experienced one. To me my child is a miracle

Well there are people who can fulfill your miracle, but I don’t see all people being able to do it.

I lost my job. I have a three children. Help me find any job in the world. I am an organist and pianist, I was seeking for the job over one year. My wife is pregnant right now and I can’t support her. Would you save our life?
I can do many things beside music - for example, I know how to cook, take care for childreen, komputer knowledge.
Help me!!!

Thank you for commenting on my remarkable story, but are you implying here that I am some self-deceived person?
lol.
The ones who are truly deceived are those who have made the choice not to believe.
I replied to this girl’s post to share a miracle that happened to me as a child, not to get on a debate wagon with non-believers.

My miracle was real and it did happen as a result of prayer and because my mom “chose to believe in God” for that miracle to happen. She didn’t choose to speculate and disbelieve like some prefer to do. If she had wasted her time doing that, then I would have still been deaf today as a result.

The doctors said I would never hear again, but my mom chose to believe that I would hear again and she prayed and others prayed and against all odds I was healed of deafness. She was praying and believing God for a miracle from Him and she didn’t just believe for a day and then give up. She kept on believing and never gave up believing. And as a result of her faith, God healed me.

There’s no reason why anyone else can’t be healed by God. But because they choose not to believe or they pray once and then walk away in doubt, well that is why nothing happens for them. Also, many want God to change this and change that, but they themselves are not willing to change their hearts and turn away from the very thing God hates . . . sin.
My mom chose to repent of sin and allow God to change her heart and her life for the better. She chose to believe God to heal me and she didn’t back down from that. Cool !
Hallelujah !
:) shalom (peace)

-unsubscribed-

yes, because I believe in you.

Why am I still getting notices for this? When will you people learn to just state your opinion and move on? You think it would be clear by now that you can’t convince anyone of anything through these unless you have a point that can’t be countered, and that’s nearly nonexistent in religion. Quit fighting, or you’ll probably be sent to your respective negative afterlives by your respective deities. And you Atheists will rot in the ground even harder! (lol) So let it go already.

Amen

Hi there, u r lovely… wanna b my friend…
