Tonight, I Heard a Miracle

I’m very fortunate, the things I’m involved in and the new life I’ve been given allow me to be positive about life most of the time. I also have a sense of realism. I have had the good fortune to see tremendous growth in the lives of others on a frequent basis and in nearly every aspect of life; jobs, careers, family, spirituality, motivation, success and more.

There are some that realism tells me, just can’t get it despite the best efforts of “others”. Some of these people die, some just get continuously more miserable.

Tonight, I heard a miracle.

One of the people I care deeply about in my life gave me a call as is his habit. We had driven to an event together yesterday morning, and much about the season and living had been said in the car and at the meeting. The person I drove home had become deeply reflective over the course of the meeting. This was a man I really wondered about. A man who I thought maybe one of those “less fortunate’s” when it came to dealing with HIS living issues.

I was out Saturday night and wasn’t here to take his call. I did notice something different in the voice I heard on the message he left on my machine.

Tonight we talked. A light has come on with my “friend”, he heard and listened intently to a voice inside of him, and understood what the voice has been telling him. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED ANYMORE. JUST SURRENDER. The exact message I had got some fourteen plus years ago. I had listened intently to the same message and received a dose of n hope for the first time in years. I related to what my “friend” said; I have had the same experience.

I pray that the change stays within him.
This holiday season, even though “the feeling” is new, I know he will experience the best Christmas he has had in many. He will be able to just “BE” for himself and his family. There will be a lot less that he will have to control and prove. I say tongue in cheek; he may stay out of his own way and enjoy what the “spirit” of the season is. He certainly, on an intellectual basis, has the tools. I think a spiritual side may have just kicked in! A miracle after knowing this fellow for many years.

Let us all hope that my “friend”, and others just like him, who have experienced a “moment of clarity” right before the holidays, carry it with them throughout. They will have a positive impact on many around them.

Its funny, hearing that a new light has come on within my friend uplifts my soul in a powerful way. Seeing him and his family truly enjoy the “Spirit” of the season, without my friend sabotaging it, will be a great gift. What I heard tonight is truly a miracle, and we are pledged to work forward based on the foundation this moment of clarity has created.
