Non-Christians and Christians alike, in most instance, took Jesus miracles as magics. They wanted to believe in Jesus because of his magics - which are actually miracles. Thereby such Christians founded their faith not on Jesus as God but Jesus as the magician. Such faith of a Christian is simply absurd.
Once you take miracle as magic then you are missing the point. Note that those who wanted to follow Jesus after the feeding of about five thousand people were rebuked by him, telling them that you wanted to follow me because I fed you. He then made a point that what is more important is a food that when taken you will never be hungry again.
Miracles are event in which Jesus showed as the unconditional love of God for his people. They are not meant to impress us that he can do something which only he can do but rather he is simply telling us that "I love you".
If you can therefore show God's love to others, whether it is something as simple as giving water to a thirsty homeless person, then you are showing God's love. Therefore you are doing a miracle.
