Miracles: When Good Things Happen

according to the dictionary
miracles are extraordinary events
but according to the word of God
miracles are ever-present

a woman one day said to me
that she hoped it would not rain
I told her don't speak of such
that's something I will not claim
with the words out of our mouths 
we should be most aware
that If we speak of bad things
then bad things will occur

to speak life, to think in the positive 
to always look for the best
It's something that we should all learn to do
so that our testimony may progress

If you always look at the glass half empty 
and expect things to go wrong 
bad things will happen in your life
and calamities will come along
just stop waiting and anticipating 
for the other shoe to drop
look for a miracle on the horizon
for good things will rise up to the top

an unexpected bonus, a surprise party
or meeting your one true love
miracles just ordinary good things 
gifts from the Lord God above
