~ MIRACLES ~

"Miracles are instantaneous, they cannot be summoned but come of themselves, usually at unlikely moments
and to those who least expect them."

Katherine Ann Porter

I never believed that we live in an age of miracles. As far as I was concerned, those happened only in the days of the Bible -- with burning bushes and the red sea opening up. When I first came into the program and heard people talking about miracles, I was skeptical. As I became more open to the possibility, things began to happen which I can only consider to be miracles. They may not have seemed large to my old closed mind,
but being able to give up certain trigger foods -- or having a fellow member in the program call me when I
most needed a call -- have become miracles in my life today.
Being able to maintain my weight, rather than losing and gaining weight every few months, is a miracle. Most importantly, my transformed relationships with my children and other loved ones are miracles.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I will open my mind to the possibility of miracles occurring in my life...and they will come.
