Um..?!Miracle of Hanukkah :)

Hanukkah celebrates the victory of a Jewish rebel army, the Maccabees in 165 B.C. over the Syrians. Resulting in the redefinition of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

The Maccabees found enough oil inside the Holy Temple to light its eternal flame for ONE single day...
The Hanukkah Miracle is that the the lamp burned for EIGHT DAYS!!!

Which is why Hanukkah is an 8 day Holiday! 

:)))

Some skeptics say that the miracle was that the oil burned for seven more days than it was expected to...

NOT that it burned for a total of eight. Bc if the oil was supposed to last one night, it was only miraculous for seven.

;)))

Isn't it funny how even miracles that happened zillions of years ago need to be quantified! 

Like, it's great that the oil lasted 7 extra days but it DID NOT last 8. 

Today, what was your most recent "miracle"?!?! That police officer who let you go even though your inspection was up?!? Toilet paper ran out just as you were finishing up in the lavatory?!? That last pair of Unicorn Slippers were ON sale in YOUR size?!?!

Miracles happen everyday. 

Embrace yours :)
