Sometimes we are the recipients of miracles that we don’t even know about.
Consider this scenario: A little child is outside playing on the sidewalk. His ball rolls into the street. As he runs after it, he doesn’t notice the car that just turned the corner zooming towards him. The driver slams on his breaks, just in time (thank G-d). While the driver is almost hysterical with an awareness of the terrible accident that was just averted, the child is oblivious and runs inside happily. When his mother asks him about his day, the child tells her about the fun time he had playing with his ball. Neither the child nor the mother know about or appreciate what a major blessing it is that the child is safe, healthy, and alive.
At times, we are each that child and that mother. We are protected from things that we don’t even know about. Let’s take a moment to give thanks for the blessings and protection we receive that we don’t even realize.
