…I believe in miracles.

Not only have I read about them and I’ve even seen things that could not be anything, but a miracle: birds in the sky forming hearts and stars, two doves flying by my car as I drove through the desert highway, and so many other amazing spiritual moments.

Recently, I finished a book that said that when God is on your side and knows you’re doing right, He rewards you. He sends more and more miracles your way.

A few days ago, I experienced such a beautiful miracle. While to some it might not be a huge miracle, to me, it was.

Just as a caveat, for those who don’t believe in God, I would say that my experience can be compared to “the laws of attraction”; that whatever you think, do, put out into the world, and give comes back to you infinitely.

I went to the grocery store after work. I was feeling peaceful. Not a worry on my mind, just serene after finally finding the perfect job for my lifestyle right now, etc. But, when I got to the cashier, I realized I didn’t have my ATM card. Quite luckily, the cashier was very kind, he told me to take my time.

After about 20 seconds of looking through my purse and realizing that I’d have to leave and come back to purchase my groceries, the man next in line spoke up:

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it.”

I looked at him incredulous.

“You’ll get it?”

“Yes.” He had a very unassuming demeanor.

I asked if I could get his card so I could repay him.

He simply asked, “Can I get your number?”

I let him know that I was sort of dating someone and asked for his address again. He wouldn’t give it to me, “It’s only $20’s.” And, then he said, “I need to do this because someone just recently stole $1,000’s worth of belongings from my car.”

Then, before I could say more, he briskly walked past me without looking back. I didn’t even get the chance to give him a hug.

I could’ve run after him, but his gesture had moved me beyond words, my feet wouldn’t move. (After all, I’m truly thankful when someone considerately remembers to put the divider down so that you can put your items on the moving cashier counter.) But this was a man who was basically giving a complete stranger $20’s asking for nothing in return. This was something you read about or see in movies.

The cashier said, “Man I wish someone would pay for my groceries.”

The bagger looked at me smiling and eyes twinkling, “Man, I need to get in line with you.”

I stood a moment in disbelief, humbled and shocked, “I’ve been praying for only true angels.”

Tears almost came to my eyes, but as I type this, I’m still in complete shock and awe.

God is truly watching everything you do.

When He’s pleased with you, He acts swiftly sending angels to protect, bless and guide you every step of you take. When you give only the very best energy possible with the humblest spirit toward the world like energy is returned to you a hundredfold.

Be deeply thankful every step of your life, every word spoken is priceless and is a moment to lift another person’s spirits with true love, kindness, understanding and best intentions. Every thought you have is invaluable.

I believe in miracles.

    Great write, Liane! I most absolutely do believe in miracles. We witness them every single day. The birth of a child, people surviving near fatal accidents, finding that special someone to share your life with. They are all around us in many different ways.

    I’m not a religious person from the public point of view but I do believe in miracles. Sometimes they are even happening in the background and we don’t realise it until later.

    A very inspiring post. I do believe in miracles, just to hear birds singing in the early dawn, is a great miracle for me.

    It’s so true Liane. Miracles happen all the time, unexpectedly, and I’m glad God and the Angels grant us those, especially when we need it.

    Beautiful and inspirational piece. I do believe in miracles too. God bless you Liane.

    I believe in that. Months ago a friend’s friend (not even my close friend) offered to drive me to an employment agency that gave me my present job. Some blessings come from people we hardly knew who by themselves had been touched by some hidden force behind comprehension. Nice post Liane.

    Liane, thanks for sharing the love of this kind act. I also like your statement “when God is on your side and knows you’re doing right, He rewards you.” An ancient biblical text states “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 (Holy Bible) Brian
