Addressing CB's post, I don't disagree but Mother Theresa was your common person exercising the good part of humanity. The good things she did for others were not miracles. The miracle was for those who received her timely helping hand. The job we get is not the miracle, the finding the job is. But we still have to have the conditions to see it coming out like a flower through the mud, so to speak.
Sometimes I don't see it, I don't want to see it, I can't see it, or I have a different, more rational and scientific explanation. The coming up of the sun was considered a miracle for the ancients but now I know it is the result of some laws. It is not less miraculous because of my expanded knowledge, which also expanded my questions. I still marvel sometimes that there is a sun, that it still comes up at about the same place in the horizon. My problem is that when I think I know it all I don't marvel at all because I don't want to come up with new challenging questions.
