Life can be said to be ordinary for most of us.
Everyday we have a routine, and that gives us some stability in life.
And when something extra-ordinary happens, it captures our attention and we get amazed and even absorbed by it.
It could be that someone important stops by and chats with us and we get so delighted by it.
Or that something spectacular happens and we get so thrilled by it.
For the disciples of Jesus, they had just earlier witnessed the miracle of the multiplication of loaves.
They were so thrilled and amazed by it and they were so caught up by the wonder of it.
Then in the next instance, they were in a boat battling a heavy sea.
And when they saw Jesus walking on the water, they thought it was a ghost.
And when Jesus got into the boat, the wind dropped and the sea was calm again.
They were utterly and completely dumbfounded, because they had not see what the miracle of the loaves meant; their minds were closed.
Our minds too may be close to the wonders of the little miracles of love that we see in every ordinary day.
It would be a wonderful miracle when our minds can be opened to see God's love in the ordinary.
