Which Miracle?
Ever since I came across this line in The Secret Life of Bees, I've wanted to share it here and hear your responses::
Have you noticed the more you try not to think, the more elaborate your thinking episdoes get? I spent twenty minutes on this fascinating question: If you could have one miracle from the Bible happen to you, what would it be?

I want to be raised from the dead.

My one miracle would be that the Lord Jesus would resurrect my beloved father and daughter in this life. I know he will resurrect them in the next and that they are even now waiting for us... but I miss them so! I'm impatient for heaven :-)

I am neither dead, blind, deaf, lame, nor do I have a withered hand. So, none of those apply. I don't drink wine, so have no need for my water to be transformed.
However....there is an Old Testament miracle that I wouldn't mind having. You know the one where Elijah (or was it Elisha?) asks the widow woman for a meal, and she gives him one even though she was planning to make a meal for her and her son with the very last of their food supply and then they would wait to die. After she fed the prophet, she always had just enough meal and just enough oil for one more meal, until the famine was over. Now, I told my husband that I would love to have this miracle worked on my gas tank....I might always be on empty, but I would always have just enough gas to get where I was going. Of course, if I had to take groceries that never ran out, I wouldn't complain about that one either. ;)
