Christy Beam : I lost my faith. Because of that, I didn't see what was all around me. Albert Einstein said there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle and the other is as though everything is a miracle. I'm the first to tell you I wasn't living my life as though everything is a miracle. I missed a lot. Miracles are everywhere.

Christy Beam : Miracles are God. And God is forgiveness. Why was Anna healed when today around the world there are so many children suffering? I don't know the answer. But after everything I've been through, I've realized I'm not alone. And whatever you may be going through, I am here to tell you, you are not alone. Miracles are God's way of letting us know he's here.

Christy Beam : [narrating] When I was growin' up, people didn't really talk about miracles. I'm not sure I understood what they were or if I believed in them. A miracle is defined as something not explicable by natural or scientific laws. But then how do you explain it? How does it happen? Who or what is behind it?

Anna Beam : [about spilled drink] Sorry.
Angela : For what? Being human? Don't mind him. He don't have kids, and he has no personality. You know, when you got kids, things get messy.
Christy Beam : I have three.
Angela : See? So, you know. You either roll with it or you get rolled on. You get rolled on, you get flat.
