An Ordinary Day in the Life of God

Recently a friend asked for prayers for her daughter. When this intention came to mind, I prayed a short prayer. Throughout this time I kept feeling the urge to do more. I decided to give this woman a Fatima rosary, along with a note about Our Lady of Fatima and the observance of the 100th anniversary of the appearances to the three children. She prayed the rosary, and two days later she had it in her hand when she told me her intention had been wonderfully answered. Both of us now pray prayers of thanksgiving for this answer to prayer so profound, yet so simple. I found myself reflecting “This is one miracle among many that happened today. Just an ordinary day in the life of God.”
