ordinary miracle

Yesterday, while driving around in command central ( my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan, nicely equipped with a DVD player) my kids were watching Charlotte's Web. They got it for Easter and it had not come out of the package until yesterday. Nothing like a new movie in the car to capture their attention. By the time the day was nearing it's end, and we picked Olivia up from her after school art class, the credits were rolling as we got close to home. And the sweetest song was playing, and I was getting teary listening to the lyrics (coincidentally this song is by Sarah McLachlan, who I once saw in an elevator in LA at the Mondrian Hotel, it was the only brush with fame we had on that trip-unless two of the parking attendants were stars of a Doublemint Gum commerical, as we strongly suspected) Back to the topic at hand...

Lyrics:
It’s not that usual when everything is beautiful
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when its time to snow
You don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
Its seems so exceptional
Things just work out after all
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It’s just another ordinary miracle today
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Anyway, I love this song. I loved the melody and the words and as a Mom, I witness ordinary miracles every day. Deep, huh? I also witness kids throwing fits, peeing in their pants or refusing to eat dinner; but fortunately there is a lot of goodness to outweigh that kind of business. Pin It
