Did you ever experience a miracle. Something that you know had ZERO chance to happen, yet it did.

I would call this a freak accident; not a miracle.

When your son falls from the 6th floor and dies, you can call it a freak accident )

It IS a miracle.

Around 17 years ago went to Coney Island with my wife and 1 and three year ago kid.

Well they do that big whale show was just ending and for some reason I felt the need to go up and see ending even though I knew crowds would be coming down in two minutes.

Grabbed three year old who could walk wife stayed with stroller. Started walking fast and for some reason stopped and looked up and saw a small child leaning over ten foot railing above me and mother in panic reaching to grab and over she went head first towards concrete. I caught her. Mother was in shock. I handed her back and headed back down and did not even see end if show. Was weird I just was drawn to walk that way and look up at that moment

Was driving behind this person going about 20-25 in a 30. No real reason for them to be driving so slow (no streets or businesses to slow down to find) but it was dark with no street lights so I just figured they were nervous. Whatever. Just followed behind at an appropriate distance and listened to my podcast. After about 5 minutes they pulled over to the side and I thought that it was nice they were letting me go ahead.

I drove for about a minute and then all the hairs on my body stood up and I got this chilling feeling while "hearing" this voice say " turn around. Go back". I drove for about another minute and I felt physically ill. I was almost shaking. Turned around and drove back. Person was still pulled over. While thinking "you're an absolute moron" I approached the car and found the driver slumped over. He had gone into cardiac arrest and likely wasn't feeling well which was why he was driving so slow. I called 911 while pulling him out of the car. At the time, I was an ED nurse. Performed CPR and brought him back by the time the ambulance arrived. I met him later on and he made a full recovery. It took the ambulance 15 min to get there. He likely would not have survived if I didn't get that urgent need to turn around.

Wow—this gave me chills!! So cool that you got to meet him later in full health. Great job!!

We wanted to adopt a child and had the ability to do it internationally. Through someone my mom worked with, we found a person from a foreign country who was high enough to allow us to adopt from there (you generally had to be from that country's heritage to get a baby). Then, and this sounds insane,when walking the dog, we met a person who works with someone from that country who is a very successful entrepreneur. That individual met with the first person and together with a US Senator who was friends with the entrepreneur, pulled enough strings to get the paperwork done so that we could fly out there and bring home a baby.

On another note with this, I traveled a lot for business and when coming home, would wonder if they next plane I got on would be to get a baby. And from where I live, there is an international carrier everyone takes to Europe, then connects to go to various countries. On my last trip for this company, arriving at night, I left my plane and saw a 747 from this airline with the tail lit up - had never seen this before and sure enough, we left soon after on the exact same airline, same kind of plane. If that isn't a sign, don't know what is.

In all fairness having a politician pull strings is the opposite of a miracle and a little unethical in adoption
