When You Believe

There are two ways to live: to live as if nothing is a miracle or to live as if everything is a miracle.

The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation but is only available by labor.

I have found in life that if we want a miracle we first need to do whatever it is we can do - if that's to plant, then plant it; if it is to read, then read it; if it is to change, then change it; if it is to study, then study; if it is to work, then work; whatever we have to do. And then we will be well on our way of doing the labor that works miracles.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE - Mariah Carey & Whithney Houston

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will, (Now you will (3rd Chorus through))
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Chorus

So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith

Chorus
