Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy? Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today.
It's been very cold in Georgia the past two weeks. Each morning, the temperature has been between 25- 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have kids who go to school in the morning, you will know that it's not fun getting out in that cold. Well, last week, it was below freezing and very windy on Monday morning. Le'Veon had school but I knew better than to get my baby out there in such a weather. I wanted to still take him to school in spite of the weather but my car had other plans. Even my battery was too cold to pick up that morning. I needed someone to help jump off my car. So, I was blessed to see one of neighbors out at their car that morning. I asked her to help jump me off and she did. While I was talking to her, I came to find out she was an educator doing remote learning with her students. I asked her opinion about the weather and she said it was very cold and my son wouldn't be missing anything if he didn't go to school that day. I knew I had already made up my mind not to take him to school, I just kinda wanted a second opinion lol.
Most of the time, we know the answer to the questions in our hearts but we are always seeking for these answers outside of us. I believe we should all learn to trust the guidance within us more.
Let me get to the miracle part. For the rest of the week, my battery needed to be jumped by a running car in order to come alive. Well, a couple of days ago, I woke up, meditated, prayed and fed the kids breakfast. I was looking forward to have help starting my battery from a neighbor but was so surprised when I pressed the button on my car keys and my car came alive. I put the key in the ignition and it started. I celebrated like I had just won a lottery. It was a MIRACLE!!! My car started. I didn't need help getting it jumped. God is good!! So many other amazing things happened that day. Why am I sharing this with you? We are programmed to expect bad things to happen and because we expect bad things to happen, we live our lives planning and preparing for them and they happen. We truly don't live when we do this. There's no joy in a life lived expecting something bad to happen. I, for some reason have always looked for the miracle in everything. No matter how difficult or disappointing it may seem, I always look for something in it that brings me hope. I encourage you to do the same. Live your life each day as though it is a miracle and you will experience miracles!
Thank you for reading this. I hope you found some inspiration here.
Seasons greetings,
