The ongoing miracle

/ The ones they wouldn't publish!
Whenever a normally secularist newspaper talks about miracles, I figure it's worth trying to point out something about God's hand at work in the world. This (unpublished) was one such attempt:
Dear editor,
Elly Spark refers to the forecast rain and says “It seems like a miracle” (‘Dry, Dry, Dry and then the horizon glistens’, SMH June 8). It is a miracle, Ms Spark. Christians haven't stopped praying for this, and we understand that every moment of creation's sustaining is a miracle of the providence of God.
Yours etc...
