53 They beached the boat at Gennesaret and tied up at the landing. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, word got around fast. 55 People ran this way and that, bringing their sick on stretchers to where they heard he was. 56 Wherever he went, village or town or country crossroads, they brought their sick to the marketplace and begged him to let them touch the edge of his coat - that's all. And whoever touched him became well.
Jesus did heal. Miracles did and do happen. But they are not always obvious, because some times they happen in a different way.
“A miraculous healing of a physical illness is wonderful. But even more impressive … is the way God's grace gives some people the courage to live creatively, and even joyously, within their suffering. The profound faith of those who live with crippling affliction or disease-ridden bodies does not look spectacular to many. But their confidence in God and love for others are as beautiful a miracle as any physical one you're apt to ever see.”
Peter W. Marty
"There are two ways to live:
you can live as if nothing is
a miracle; you can live as if
everything is a miracle."
Albert Einstein
Prayer thought for the week: “Lord, sometimes it seems that miracles never happen. Help me to see the miracles that do happen, even though they seem hidden.”
