Darkest Before the Dawn: Angel Message


 Maybe you've noticed your pets can deliver angel messages of guidance and encouragement in the dark hours of trials and testings.  The divine timing of these not so subtle deliveries can serve as a heads-up that more is going on than meets the eye so keep having faith and looking up. The best is yet to be.

It happened this morning.  Long before dawn, our cat Hei-Hei stirred the ethers by jumping up on the bookcase and swatting my prayer beads to the floor.  It turned out to be a double delivery when I turned on the lamp and saw Jesus on the floor.  A long forgotten prayer card of a peaceful Christ pointing upward and white doves circling His holy presence.  Curious, I turned over the card and read The Serenity Prayer which I know well. 

But I had an aha moment when I read an additional verse at the end.  

"But God, grant me the courage, not to give up on what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless."

 

SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE COURAGE
TO CHANGE THE THINGS
I CAN CHANGE,

THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT
THOSE I CANNOT CHANGE,

AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW
THE DIFFERENCE.

BUT GOD, GRANT ME THE COURAGE
NOT TO GIVE UP ON WHAT
I THINK IS RIGHT, EVEN THOUGH
I THINK IT IS HOPELESS.

Our Hei-Hei had done it again, He had delivered an answer to my prayer.  

 Love and peace,
