Miracle

Miracle…what is miracle?

I cited this from a source on the internet
1. An effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.
2. Such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.
3. A wonder; marvel.

....It’s taken much too long
To get it right, would it be so wrong?
To maybe find someone…a miracle...

Ermmm…could I say that not getting a ticket on Friday night was a miracle? Or was it just luck? What about surviving a terrible car crash without any major wound? Was it just a (huge) luck?
I guess miracle had much bigger magnitude, something that really beyond our expectation/thoughts. Example, a person found out that his/her cancer was cured though the doctors had already given up. That was something extraordinary, right?

Also miracle has something to do with a person’s real potential and capability/talent, which was extraordinary. We often heard the term wonderboy or wonderkid. Example: A 5 year old boy already able to master a very difficult piano composition. We wouldn’t say that that boy was lucky, we’d say that he’s a wonderkid. Different when we heard a person won a lottery. We might say, he/she was such a lucky person. Okay I guess we’re in unison about this one.

Another thing about miracle. I think it always a positive thing. You’d never heard of a bad miracle, had you? But we sometimes heard about bad luck, like when a person was robbed, we would say that he/she was having a bad luck. So luck could be a good or bad one.

Next, do you believe in miracle? Do you believe that it happens everyday? Why?

I guess like a line from Celine Dion’s song, “Love comes to those who believe it..and that’s the way it is”. Miracle also happens to those who believe in it. I won’t write much about this coz I think we all had our own perception about this matter which was affected by our own personal experience in life. What I wanted to emphasize was, if you didn’t believe in miracle, try to start believing in it, you might be amazed once you experience it.

When there seemed no hope at all, no way out from the situation we faced, there’s one thing we couldn’t lose, that’s hope (plus faith I think actually).

Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle


Rest assured that miracles would happen, when you believe. I think this song said it all.

Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston - When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could


There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
To swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe


They don't always happen when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
Small but still, resilient voice
Says love is the relief
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles,you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believeeeeeeeeeee
