Summary:
Many of us dream of witnessing a real miracle, an awe-inspiring
divine intervention that changes the course of our lives and
heightens our belief in a personal and loving God. Yet, we are often
so fixated on the idea of an awesome event that we somehow overlook
the quiet little miracles that happen to each of us every day. The
miracles collected by veteran author William G. Borchert in Spiritual
Awakenings come in all shapes and forms, as unexpected phone calls,
chance meetings, and missed plane reservations. They are small enough
to simply produce a warm glow and dramatic enough to create awe and
wonder. A young father of five witnesses his burning home being saved
by bearded strangers with fire extinguishers who put out the fire and
then disappear. A diamond miner in South Africa thinly avoids a
deadly crash when the doors to a packed elevator shut before he can
cram in. A chance meeting with a young girl leads a woman to the
apartment of her closest childhood friend, now dying of AIDS. She
helps her friend regain spiritual strength and becomes a surrogate
mother to the child. If we allow ourselves to look beyond the glow
and focus on the wonder, we will recognize that, in moments such as
these, we are in the presence of God.
