Belief in a miracle is a strange thing. On the one hand, an adult who openly admits that he believes in miracles is considered by others to be infantile, blissful, foolish. On the other hand, almost everyone deep in their souls wants a miracle, and sometimes, in a difficult moment of life, they desperately beg for it - from God, from the Higher powers …

Why, in fact, not believe? What is a miracle for you? After all, you do not hope that the pumpkin will turn into a carriage or a Mercedes? Don't you expect a shining fairy to come and give you magic shoes? For any of us, a miracle is not a violation of cause and effect relationships, but the fulfillment of a dream. For some - a belated meeting with their soul mate, for others - finding their own home, the birth of a child, whom they desperate to wait … But, of course, true miracles also happen. Usually there is nothing mysterious about them - but believe me; such things are dumbfounded.

In 2008, my mother passed away. Two years after her death, the apartment was empty: I could not rearrange anything, remake it, I did not raise my hand to destroy the empty world.

Sometimes she came to water the flowers, vacuum. I couldn't stay there for more than an hour - for me the house was permeated with the pain of loss: every corner, every trinket is associated with my mother, they remember the touch of her hands …

But, of course, this could not go on endlessly: you cannot turn the apartment into a memorial museum! It was decided to make repairs. My son and a friend went, thought, counted and announced that everything about everything would require 200 thousand rubles. The amount for our family is substantial. You can, of course, start saving, but this will take a long time. If you have decided to give the house a new life, you don't want to postpone it. The only option left was to take out a loan. And I went to the bank.

I must admit that living on credit is a torment of martyrdom for me. And the interest was rather big, that is, the belt had to be tightened for the next year. In the evening, after a visit to the bank, I sat at home and thought sadly about these topics. And then the phone rang.

The call was made by Yulia, the daughter of a close mother's friend, who also recently passed away. “I was sorting through my mother’s papers,” Yulia began. - Do you know that my mother owes your mother five thousand euros? I am ready to return them."

No, guys, I did not at all consider it a miracle that Yulka turned out to be a decent girl and did not heal a large sum. Decency and honesty are still, thank God, not considered a miracle. Although I did not know about this debt - which Julia, of course, guessed about.

We made an appointment, saw each other, talked, and I gratefully took the money. And returning home, I suddenly realized that five thousand euros is exactly 200 thousand rubles - this amount, as I said, was required to repair my mother's apartment! I had nowhere to take such capital, and my mother helped me.

And nothing, except as my mother's help, which means, by a miracle, I cannot explain this case. Money, and not just money, but exactly as much as was required, I received from my mother's name just at the moment when I was going to make repairs in her apartment. Or do you have another explanation?
