As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Memorial Day

Yesterday was a holiday.  It was my first summer holiday in years that wasn't filled with running around, stress, and lots of food.  Not food to eat, food to sell.  So, this past weekend reminded me how much different my life is now and how much I love my new life.  I got to spend time with family and friends this weekend without always worrying in the back of my mind about what was going on at the stores. 
Another difference yesterday was the absence of my cell phone.  There was a tower down that caused phone service to be down all day.  Others in town had no Internet and some stores and restaurants had no credit card capability.  At first I was really annoyed.  But, throughout the day, it made me look at how much we all depend on our cell phones.  And, maybe it wouldn't kill me to become a little less dependant on it.  Maybe I need to take a little more quiet time and unplug. 
Part of the tower issue caused 911 to be down.  That seemed pretty scary considering the heat and the holiday.  It was expected to be down until 9am today.  Fortunately, it was fixed earlier.  Oddly enough, I had to call 911 last night.  A fight was going on around our house and it was pretty loud.  So, I called and they were already on their way because someone else had already called.  So, I'm really glad the line was working. 
So, where was God?  He was there in random moments- giving me things to reflect on and be grateful for.
Blessings,
Jennifer
