Dolphins in the Gulf
For the years that we have been living in the Gulf, we have heard people talk about seeing dolphins, but we have never seen any. Most people say “we used to see dolphins.”
My husband and I pray together every morning before he leaves for work. This morning, as we were discussing my father and my upcoming trip home, before praying, he said “are there dolphins in Kuwait?”
“What a weird question in the middle of all the serious things we are talking about, ” I thought to myself, and asked him why he asked that.
“It must be a log,” he responded, “but I am watching something appear and re-appear, and it reminds me of a dolphin.”
We got the binos, and to our unimaginable delight, it was a pair of dolphins, lazily swimming along, grazing on the fish who have been jumping the last few days.
In the midst of sadness and daily responsibilities, God smiles. It felt like such a blessing, seeing these graceful creatures going about their dolphin business. Our scripture readings for today remind us that there are miracles happening all around us, if we have the eyes to see them. We had a little miracle this morning. Thanks be to God!

I love it when things like that happen. I feel like God just catered a message for me personally. I recall performing Hajj and at what point I was feeling very down because I felt I wasn’t doing enough for my spritituality. Well I was lying down and odd as it may be I opened my eyes to see a slogan hanging in front of me that I hadnt seen before and it was an aya from the Quran speaking of Gods forgiveness. I really felt like it was a message for me.
May he be gracious to you, 1001!
