and there are miracles
A parable from Anthony de Mello, a Catholic priest, states:
A man travelled halfway across the world to see for himself the extraordinary fame that the Teacher enjoyed.
"What miracles has your Teacher performed?" he asked one disciple.
"Well, actually.... there are miracles and there are miracles. In your country they consider it a miracle if God does someone's will. We consider it a miracle when someone does the will of God."
....and then there's the miracle of enjoying it too!
