Not in the supernatural way.
As in: She got married. A blessing...or... boy , that was a miracle. Do Witnesses interchange the 2 words, sometimes?
Say Silly Sally had been praying for ages, and the right one hadn't come along. Then, as some nice fellow, as though falls from the sky, do her well meaning friends say she is finally being "blessed" or do they call it a "miracle". I think they would probably call it a miracle.

I suppose anything that could not be explained scientifically to the beholder. Just as if someone transported from the 1st century to the 21st century would regard a tablet PC as a miracle. Some UK posters may remember a TV series by the name of Catweazle that featured a Merlin-like character who found himself in the modern world and proclaimed that 'electricity' was 'elec-trickery'!

Would you say The Crazy 8's are being "blessed" by God, with their ever changing rules and doctrines (the Bible doesn't change, but they do) as spiritual food to govern over 7 1/2 million people or that it was a miracle that 7 1/2 million Zombies do not open their eyes to the fact they are worshiping an Israelite God of War as the mascot for a book publishing company?
