On a day when a long awaited and arduous task uprooted into an insurmountable and unachievable task, I stood frozen. Closing my eyes I thought of the “why” of the path that required the task. I thought of those surrounding me with belief and support. My heart filled with compassion and gratitude. Oh yes, I prayed for a “miracle.” But not the miracle of the task. Instead I asked for the miracle of the heart, the “why.” I dared to pray for the greater miracle, “Bless me with usefulness.”
