Thank you for sharing about Stellan and about supporting his mom and her decisions. I truly believe there are so many miracles that are happening throughout the world because of her willingness to share her sons story and to be be so transparent and to accept the love and help of friends and strangers. Miracles we will never see or hear about, but God has planned from the beginning.

I have been so thankful for the miracle of my family and grateful they are healthy.

Love the canvas! And I too have been watching for updates on Stellan. He is a miracle!

My miracle, soon to be miracles, is my precious nephew Connor! He is such a blessing in my life. On Tuesday, our family will welcome another new miracle, his little brother Cooper Andrew. We are so very excited!

Blessings!

I have to mention three. Each of my children. Each special and unique in their own way. I thank God a whole lot for the blessings I have received through being able to love and care for them.

This is going to sound so trivial compared to some of the other lovely posts here, but I found out that we dont have to pay in for our taxes this year, and were actually getting a refund. This is good news because my husband has been out of work for 16 months due to health problems and were just keeping our heads above water. Honestly, I dont know what we would do if we had yet another expense to add. I am thankful for that.
My thoughts and prayers are with Stellan and his family.

My miracle would be my daughter, Victoria. I have two wonderful children from a first marriage, Andy and Kimberly; however, with my current husband we waited till my children were adjusted only to find out that we would have many worries and troubles... needless to say after a few years of treatments and drugs... she arrived. She is now 15 years old and she's is loved by all of us... she is my miracle and I thank God for her everyday... especially, since my two older children are married and away from home... she keeps me sane and laughing.

I walked to the park today with my yellow dog. The sun is shining, there is a beautiful breeze- it is a glorious day.
I am able to walk, see, feel, hear this day-an ordinary, everyday, magnificent miracle.

Years and years ago a friend and I were driving from NH to OH. We were in my VW Rabbit. We had the gas pumped (remember the days when you were not allowed to pump your own gas??) and we drove off into the sunshine. Many hours and 4 states later, we stopped for more gas. The attendant said the gas cap was missing. The other attendant hadn't replaced it. So there we were in a 1980 VW at a very small gas station and having no clue what to do. The mechanic walked out of the garage and told the attendant he had an extra cap for a VW because the week before, a customer had left it behind! God is a provider, and a creative one at that! For my friend and I this was a miracle because we had been told it would not be safe to drive further without it.

Sarah - I try really hard to remember that everyday for me is a miracle. I should have died 18 years ago, or been left as a "vegetable", but I'm alive, and have half a brain to work with (on most days;-)
I believe in miracles. I know that miracles happen. Miracles are all around us...we just need to recognize them!

I'm having a really hard day today but, I just love that quote. Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's true, even though I know it is. My miracle is that my relationship with God is growing every day. I may not have an earthly father but I have my heavenly father and that is a miracle.

My miracle is the fact that five years after being diagnosed with motor neuron disease my husband is alive and helping raise our two children. ( I remember when he got his walker, it was such a relief. I was so concerned about falling. How cute to name it George!!) Love your Blog.

My miracle is my little boy. He had a few little "scares", but he now perfectly healthy. I pray that Stellan pulls through and makes a complete recovery. The quote on the canvas is on of my favorites, but if I do happen to win it, please send it to Stellan's mom. Maybe it will brighten her day.

I have been following poor Stellan's progress on his mother's twitter posts. Each day is a miracle.

I agree with both you, and Enstein, that life itself is miraculous.

I am in awe of all life. Everything I can see with my eyes, and experience with my mind.

Great post Gitz.

I know someone that always says, "Every day that I just wake up is a miracle." I've always appreciated that small thought. Be thankful just for LIFE. :)

This quote and the one about commas and periods are my two favorites. I absolutely love your canvas, and I also think about Angie's with the same quote and Audrey's beautiful picture. And praise God that Stellan is doing as well as he is!!!

I love that quote and I've definitely been praying and following Stellan's story. My miracles are my two healthy little girls, and my marriage, which a year ago was not going very well at all, but thanks to lots of work and prayers, we are surviving. HUGE miracle and blessing right there.

I love your blog, you give me such inspiration (I've been a reader for the past month or so)!!

Well, my 2 miracles are my boys. They were each born with congenital birth defects... my oldest with a hemangioma that he almost lost his eyesight in his right eye to (he went through many surgeries, and today he is doing awesome!) And, my youngest was born with a slight cleft lip (which was actually very minor, but still a shock--it was never detected via ultrasound!) Anyhow, both my boys are my pride and joy...my 2 miracles.
God bless you,
Stacy :)

My miracle...my three kids. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage. Just last week, I had another miscarriage. Having gone through that twice now, seeing the three kids God has given me makes me beyond thankful.

Since this is one of about four of your canvases that REALLY speaks to me, I've got to at least try. :-)
I've been trying to think of a small miracle that I'm going to appreciate today.. is difficult to pick just one, as there are SO many -weighty and not. Hmmm... small miracle... I have been enjoying the hummingbirds that are zipping by and stopping for a drink in the feeder we have hanging. They are another small miracle that I love to watch... is amazing how they just KNOW to come back to specific sites year after year.

My miracle is my precious baby girl who will be 8 months. We were told we may not get pregnant and we did without even trying for very long. My husband is also a miracle in many ways that would take pages to expand on. I am very thankful for both of them!
