I have been thinking a lot about miracles lately. I’ve been wondering what makes an event a miracle? Last night I got on my computer and did some research trying to find out how others define what a miracle is.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a miracle is defined as “an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.” This sounds good but it seemed too complicated, almost scientific, to me so I looked further.
The other day I asked everyone if they would answer a question. The question was: List, in order, the three most important things in your life.
The following is a summary of the top answers that were posted. I have organized them into groups of answers that were similar. In no particular order, the answers included:

Over the past six weeks or so I have been writing a series of articles called “Building a Relationship with God”.

If you would like to go back and read any of the previous installments, here are links to the first five parts of the series:
Where I live the days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisp and cooler. As the leaves on the trees paint themselves into a myriad of beautiful colors before they fall to the ground, the birds, squirrels, and other animals outside are getting ready for winter.
There is something so beautiful about this time of year. The temperature is wonderful – you don’t get baked by the heat of the sun yet you only need to wear a light jacket to stay warm.
