Miracles

What is a miracle? The odds of you being born means that your sperm and egg had to overcome insurmountable odds for you to exist as a person. "The odds stacked against any single sperm cell making the grueling journey to the egg can be offset by producing a large number of sperm. While just a small fraction of the sperm will reach their destination and do the job they were made to do." We take our existence for granted instead of giving thanks. You won a neonatal lottery on the day you were born! Perhaps that is what we should celebrate! Most people in Western culture take it for granted and we feel as though we deserve the right to live in this country. We feel a sense of entitlement. Each of us are unique. Each of us are wonderful! Each of us...all 7 billion of us are special. The fact that no two people have the same fingerprint or DNA is a miracle. Don't ever take it for granted. Neil Degrasse Tyson said it best when he said that most people have an inflated sense of self. You are a miracle. Act like it. Don't take it for granted.
