The renewing of our hearts and minds is a miraculous thing, isn't it? I think miracles happen everyday and we fail to recognize them.

What is the most miraculous thing you've ever witnessed firsthand?
 
After my freshman year of college, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Russia with several other college age "kids" and a few pastors. It was rough. The teens we were there to work with thought we were there to help them practice their English. Things were very disorganized. It was an uphill battle the whole way. But we all stuck to it and just tried to show God's love the best we could.

The last day we were there, the head pastor in charge of our group was leading the final group service with all of us and all of the teens. He asked me to play a hymn on the piano while he sang it, and before he started he spoke (through the translators) and basically issued an invitation. We had only had 3 or 4 teens out of 50 or so respond all week, so we were only expecting them. I was playing with my back to everyone, and halfway through the second verse the pastor kinda choked and then stopped singing. Being a good little musician, I finished playing the verse without him and then I turned around to see what was going on.

Almost every single teen had come forward.

It still gives me chills to this day. :) I'm still in contact with a few of them, actually.
 
I think you are absolutely right about miracles happening everyday and often times we don't recognize them. I have prayed before that the Lord would open my eyes to such things in my life. I truly want to have a grateful heart for all that He does. After praying this for some time, it was amazing to see not only the many ways the Lord protects me and my family, but to see the Lord truly is in everything.

At the moment one of the most miraculous (at least I see it as miraculous) thing that I have seen was my young cousin (5) was sharing with my great grandmother (89) about the Lord. He was sharing with her about the love of the Lord and how Jesus came to save even her. It brought me to tears.
 
My uncle was on his deathbed due to cancer & several other diseases, which is what 4 or 5 different doctors told him, 4 or 5 years ago, now his continuous goal is to have his own church. He is a great preacher.
