Thank you for your depth of understanding. Thank you also for pointing out the sound of happy birds chirping... it's one of my favorite, most peaceful things to hear. I will now hear that sound with even happier ears. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706979305995851795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853181264202350221.post-975396490249629312013-03-10T21:38:34.852-07:002013-03-10T21:38:34.852-07:00This was a sweet experience that you shared. So o...This was a sweet experience that you shared. So often, we attribute the happenings in our life to "coincidences" when in reality our Father in Heaven is in charge of all things. He knows the beginning from the end and He knows what we need even if we do not. I find that when we mourn the loss of a loved one, we so often focus on the sadness or pain of that loss and we fail to focus on the small moments where it is clear that we are being watched over, such as your example here indicates. Feeling alone or feeling as though the Lord is not watching over you is not the same as if He truly had left you alone. That feeling is a deep, unbearable depair that causes us to recognize our own actions that have taken us far from His spirit. So grieving and mourning are such an important part of the process and are important in helping us to acknowledge the hand of the Lord in our lives. He is there. He is watching. The sun rises each day because He lives. The sound of happy birds chirping is a clue that live goes on. The giggle of a small innocnet child reminds us to return to that state of being like a child - unconditional in our love and ever humble. <br />I honestly believe that because you so easily acknowledge the hand of the Lord in your life, that you are blessed with an increased ability to see it even more. You are blessed for your faith, even in something as simple and yet important as finding a visual reminder of your childhood friend. The Lord is aware of what your heart needs. <br />ShaylaMaybury Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069036882261181229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853181264202350221.post-70341689154830595482013-03-09T20:04:56.236-08:002013-03-09T20:04:56.236-08:00I'm so sorry for your uncle and his family.

The greatest legacy my friend left behind is in her boys. Watching my friend's husband take care of their children in such a caring, strong way gave me great hope. I think I've written this to you before Andrea, but you have a beautiful heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706979305995851795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853181264202350221.post-29826662071524190112013-03-09T12:33:08.945-08:002013-03-09T12:33:08.945-08:00i'm so happy for you!! what a blessing!!
