"I don't consider it a miracle..."

Who are we to determine the depth or degree of a miracle? Not all that seems small, is.

Understand your point - I guess it is just that I think there are interventions and then there are miracles. I consider it more of an intervention.

True I don't hold ownership to the definition - for me each person has their own because faith is so personal; but I've always felt a miracle was something where someone's fate is changed dramatically. My grandfather's fate was not changed, just shifted a bit; my mother still grieved, just with me at her side; and I still grieved, but was eased knowing I could support her.

One could say it is semantics - but I think that drags us down the ugly and unnecessary legalese path. The important thing is not the word used to describe it, but the strengthening of faith that resulted. I have had the sparks of recognition; AND I have had questioning looks from some when I relate this story and I can only smile with a gleam in my eye realizing from another time "..there go I". I offer my story and my belief - but it is not for me to judge. As I said..faith is so personal.
