Have you ever experienced a Miracle? (even as a non RW, LOL)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

I've had a few very strange things happen in my life that I can only attribute to "miracles"...one time in the middle of the night a large beaker blew over in a wind storm on my living room table. I heard the noise and ran into the room barefoot to find out what had happened. By the time my husband came in and turned the lights on, I was standing in the middle of huge chunks of broken glass, but somehow had managed not to step on one piece.

Another time I was in my large walk in closet for hours sorting through clothes to take to the Salvation Army. Literally one second after leaving the closet, the light fixture above my head exploded sending huge shards of glass all over the closet.

Lately we Dems have been made to feel that we are not God's children, and I refuse to subscribe to that. Any other examples of personal miracles?

1. My son was born when I was told it was medically impossible for me

to have a child. I kept rejecting babies...and somehow, here he is. And I am grateful.

5. Unfortunately, I'm guessing he was pretty much ignored growing up...

LOL!! :) (I had a miracle grandchild and I still pity the woman he will marry!!)

12. That is a true miracle!

I hope that your child has been the joy of your life!

17. I had a similar thing happen.

I already had DD from my 1st marriage, but 2nd DH was told that he couldn't father a child. I prayed for a child. 3 weeks later I had a positive pregnancy test, which meant I became pregnant with DS within a week of the prayer. And, yes, it was DH's child. Just a coincidence? Maybe...

3. One time I was short a quarter for a Pepsi

and the person who had used the vending machine before me accidentally left a quarter in the coin drop

It may not seem like much but I was pretty thirsty at the time

4. I'm alive today. Nuf said...but it is a miracle.

[CottonBear]

13. And we're so glad you're here!

Every day is a miracle.

19. THNX!!! You are so on my "buddy list!" Glad you're here too!

6. We survived being run off I-65N onto I65-S and didn't die.

It was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and we were driving from New Orleans back to Georgia in god awful traffic somewhere in rural Alabama. My husband (who has never gotten a traffic ticket or had an accident) was at the wheel of our little car. My stepdaughter was in the backseat. We got caught up in a huge amount a traffic: 3 lanes each way. we got stuck in the far left lane at about 65 MPH. Some idiot pulled into our lane and we had nowhere to go but the median. We fishtailed off the pavement into the median and swerved and went back onto the pavement...I could have almost touched their car (I was in the front pasenger seat.) We continued to fishtale with cars all around us then we went into the median again...we did a 360 degree spin through the grass...it was like being in a tornado..dirt flying everywhere...and travelled across I-65 South going NORTH! OH SHIT WE'RE GONNA DIE was my last thought...We flew across the three lanes of oncoming traffic and came to rest on the far side on the shoulder of the interstate. A few seconds later about 20 cars and trucks flew by. We were not dead. I couldn't believe it. The assholes who caused the accident pulled off on the other side of the interstate (I65N) and I junped out and started waving at them. They took one look, saw we were not dead and split the scene. No one stopped to help us. Our tires were blown out and we were facing North on the Southbound side. We didn't drive to New Orleans for another 8 years.

8. OMG, my grandma used to say, "Angels on your shoulder"

But you had a whole heap of Angels all around you. Glad to see you are here alive and well!

[CottonBear]

11. We're glad to be here too! Angels were with us that day.

My husband wrote a song about Guardian Angels. It was about the time he was on a boat that sank in the Carribbean Ocean. This was before we were married. There was a big storm and the boat took on water out in the middle of the ocean. He floated for three days on a raft with two other men and a Swedish woman before being rescued by a Japanese merchant freighter and taken across the Atlantic to Hamburg, Germany! He had previously survived a boat sinking in Lake Ponchartrain in LA! Needless to say, I'm not keen on taking a cruise with him!

7. yes,

9. Well, just today I put Miracle Whip on my ham sandwich

Does that count?

[NightTrain]

10. Well, there was the 1969 Mets....

14. When I used to live in Palo Alto, during the 1989 earthquake...

I was right underneath a door frame.

15. My girlfriend worked six blocks from the World Trade Center

That morning she and her boyfriend and another male friend were on their way to the subway to go to work. She had to renew her subway ticket (pass? I don't live in NYC, so don't know the lingo) and she told the guys to go on ahead and not wait for her so they wouldn't be late. They both declined and hung around until she was finished with her purchase. When they finally got on the subway, the word spread about a plane hitting one of the towers. The friend with her, now late for work, was employed at the Twin Towers. It is his belief that had he made it to work that morning, he would have died.

16. YES, an angel saved my life once!

Seriously!...me & my friends were canoeing and were also drinking (very stupid btw) Anyway, one of my drunk friends thought it would be fun to tip the boat. We all went under. I went down so far and became very disoriented, but then I felt a foot way above my head as my arms stretched upwards as far as they would go. I tried to latch on, but he/she instinctively kicked me off to save herself. I felt the current pull me down further. Then, I felt above my head, and there was nothing but a solid ROCK WALL. Truly, a sense od peace came over me as I said to myself, this is how I'm going to die. And at that very moment that I'd given up hope...someone put their arms under my arms (like under my armpits) and pulled me all way the way to the surface. As soon as I gasped for air and looked around. All my friends were safely on the banks, frantic, thinking I had drowned. I asked who pulled me up, they said "no one!" I asked if it was the guy climbing the rock wall that I saw just above our boat before we tipped. And they all saw "no one there". But there was a man there and I remembered that he was tan and good-looking. To this day, my friends swear they saw no one. I know it was an angel and I will never forget it. It just wasn't my time yet...O8)

20. I was sitting in an empty church several years ago watching friends

practice for a Sunday performance. I mindlessly moved to another pew, probably to be closer to the front. Minutes later, a large wooden cross hanging from the ceiling fell in the area I had previously been sitting in.

I was shocked when it happened. Almost twenty years after it happened, I'm still perplexed and shocked that I moved right before disaster struck. And in a church of all places. Very bizarre!

BTW, I've never been a "church going" religious person which I think makes this memory even more perplexing.

21. My life itself is a miracle...

...or as I prefer to tell it in my Wiccan faith "Magick is Real."

I've had too many amazing things happen to believe otherwise.

22. you bet. it was the day i learned about masturbation.
