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

scripture

Tonight I went to the 8th grade graduation of one of my youth. She went to a Lutheran school so it was a service rather than just a graduation.  Awhile back, during a Sunday morning class, we talked about a scripture. The girl mentioned that the graduation class had to pick a scripture for their graduation.  We talked about a few and she seemed to really relate to one of them.  Tonight,  as I read the program before it started,  I was happy to see the scripture we talked about. She had evidently gone to the rest of her classmates and shared the scripture. She had felt strongly about it and had been able to help others see what it meant to her and made them feel it to become important to them, too.
The service began and I enjoyed hearing not only the class scripture read but also a sermon devoted to it.
Sometimes the simple conversations we have become amazing moments in time.
So, where was God today? He was in that service where scripture was shared and lives were touched. He was in the potential for greatness in each one of those graduates.
1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech,  in conduct, in love, in faith,  and in purity.
Blessings,
Jennifer
