Miracle's Happen Whether Muggle Or Magical, They Happen
In the dictionary, a miracle is defined as a wonder, a marvel, an extraordinary event, and an extremely outstanding or unusual event. In my dictionary, it means hope. It means joy, or something great that happens. It is magical, right? No, it's not, not completely anyway. An example of a miracle would be the hurricane in New Orleans. It flooded that place and, miraculously, many people survived. Or, take the Subway bombing in England. The terrorists bombed the Subways. Many people survived that. Miracles can be little things, too. Say, your Grandmother has Carpletunnel Syndrome (a disease that makes your wrists hurt) and you do the dishes. This, to your Grandmother, is probably a miracle.
Those are some muggle ways for miracles to happen. There are magical ways, too. When healers take in injured people, they, magically, save lives. Santa Claus, too, is a miracle. Many people believe that he delivers presents to all of the children in the world. How could Santa do all that, in but one night? Magically, he uses time travel to deliver all of the presents. Wizards think that he may use a Time-turner, like Hermione did. Cupid makes miracles happen, as well. He shoots his bow at two people and they fall in love. Once again, a magical miracle.
Miracles, as stated above, are declared as both muggle and magical. Sometimes, muggle miracles and magical miracles work together. Not only do wizard and witch children believe in Santa Claus, but muggles, too. The disasters in New Orleans and England happen in Diagon Alley and Hogwarts as well. So, you see, a miracle is a miracle wherever it happens; magical or muggle, it's the same.
They are always happening. You might not notice them, but miracles are here. Whether they happened in the past, like the miracle of civilization, in the present, like celebrating the holidays, or in the future, like getting married. The miracles are there.
This article was inspired by the holiday season. So, now I'm giving you a challenge. Decide what miracle means to you. Write out an essay about what miracle means and why. Send it to me, and I'll read them over, though, you will not receive anything. This challenge is for fun. Another challenge for you is to count how many miracles happen to or around you in one day. Remember, miracles are big and small, and at least one happens every day. May many miracles happen. Happy Holidays!
