Holy Moments come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some more everyday examples:
Control your temper, even if you are fully justified in losing it.
Pray before making a decision.
Encourage someone, coach someone, praise someone, affirm someone.
Be patient with that person who drives you crazy.
Do something that helps you become a-better-version-of-yourself, even when you don't feel like it.
Give whoever is in front of you your full attention. That's a Holy Moment.
Begin each day with a short prayer of gratitude.
Catch someone doing something right and praise them.
Overlook an offense against you.
Go out of your way to make the new person feel welcome.
Take your spouse's car and fill it with gas.
Take an interest in someone: Ask him about the best part of his day; ask her about her dreams.
Give someone a life-changing book.
Stand up for someone who is being bullied or belittled.
Write a love letter.
Clean up the mess even though you didn't make it.
Express your appreciation to someone who helps you.
Pray for the people who are having the hardest day of their lives right now.

Imagine how many Holy Moments you will trigger in a person's life by introducing them to this idea.

These are all examples of every day Holy Moments. There are some amazing stories here, but Holy Moments come in all shapes and sizes, and most of them are small and anonymous.
