I caught up with my good friend Lucy this week. Lucy and Heath are the proud parents of Alex and Joel, twins recently born.

When I see young babies I am always amazed at how quickly they develop, how quickly they learn and recognise stuff. On reflection, though, it also amazing how quickly adults learn and adapt too. Sitting with Lucy and her boys there was a noticeable air of calm and control. It was just like Lucy had always been mum of twins and was totally in control.

Now, behind the scenes, maybe it is the case that life is frantic and new lessons are needing to be quickly learned. It does strike me, however, that we always marvel at the development in the children; almost a more amazing thing to notice is the development in the mother. How the mum learns new ideas, understands certain signs from the new child, instinctively knows what each child needs, and sub-consciously, but obviously, expresses feelings of love and acceptance to the baby in a way that is understood and received.

It is not until now, a few days later, that I am realising that I was able to experience 2 miracles of a sort. How many more miracles do I miss during my normal every day life?
