WATCH FOR MIRACLES!
My flight out of LAX was delayed today, so I am flying out on December 18 Tuesday, instead. This gives me time for a new post, which you can read in Your Open Classroom, about a magical angelic experience that just happened to me. You may remember a previous message that talked about being open to small miracles. The more we can see small miracles, the more we can see the larger ones. For instance, the fact that you are here now breathing, reading, attuned to higher consciousness, searching for a way to know God is a miracle. Let this be your “homework” — each day, for the rest of December, let yourself become aware of a miracle, no matter how small. Write it down. Feel the awesome energy of the miracle. This will open you to larger miracles.
In this vast and glorious play, anything is possible. You are possible. Angels are possible. Miracles are possible. “Statistically, the possibility of any of us being here is so small, that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.”[i]

So here is my little miracle for today. Two or three days ago, I lost my car keys. I was sure they must be in the garage or the house, since I'd parked the car in the garage, taken a couple items from the garage, and come into the house. But I could not find them. I felt certain they were not in the house, since I had just done a thorough cleaning, to prepare to fly from the west to the east coast for Christmas. I had another car key, but the lost key was an electronic one. Without it, I couldn't open the glove compartment or the trunk, since I'd locked them electronically. And a new electronic key is very expensive to replace.
Now, because my flight was delayed today (which means I fly a day later) I had extra time, so I went into the garage to look for the key again. I didn't find it, and was about to give up, when my eyes went to a stack of white paper, and there were my keys! I was astounded. I knew the keys were not there when I looked before. In fact, I had organized that very stack of white paper, thinking to bring it into the house sometime, after I lost the keys.
No, I hadn't asked the angels to help me find my keys. Nonetheless - the angels surely placed the keys where I would be sure to find them - on the stack of white paper! That's my miracle for the day. As I have given you all the homework of noticing a miracle in your life each day, I will also be doing that homework. When I have a chance, I will be writing my miracles here - so keep coming back!
Another small miracle is that the person who is picking me up at the airport in NYS called this morning to ask if I was coming in today or Tuesday. I told her today, and she said that I had initially told her Dec. 18. I didn't remember saying that, as my flight was always for the 17, but -- it turned out to be true! And if my flight hadn't been delayed today (which meant I would have missed my connecting flight) -- I would not have been here for the miracle of the missing keys!
All my love,
your teacher and classmate
