Every day water and matter and light come together and become food.
Every day we take food into our bodies and it becomes energy. It becomes thought and language and action.
Every day we turn fabric into clothes and trees into buildings and sounds into songs.
Every day morning becomes afternoon and afternoon becomes evening.
And this is all miracle. This is all the work of God.
What could be more ordinary than wedding feast? What could be more ordinary than sitting together and drinking wine? Most of the people at the wedding in Cana, in the second chapter in John, don’t know a miracle has occurred at all.
I know we all feel small and insignificant. I know we all feel invisible.
But what could be more ordinary than wedding feast? What could be more ordinary than sitting together and drinking wine? Most of the people at the wedding in Cana, in the second chapter in John, don’t know a miracle has occurred at all.
But it has. The wine has run out, and Mary has spoken, and Jesus has turned the great jars of water into great jars of wine, and only the servants know he has, and they don’t understand, and this is always going on, this is always happening, in some profound and invisible way, and it can happen through us.
