You never know where or what will spring up to surprise you with a lesson you didn't realize you needed. That's how the angels work to help us grow and adapt in times of great change.
This morning we were parked on the boat ramp grateful for the restoration of our favorite go-to lake. Things were returning to normal. After two major hurricanes in the fall of 2024, peace and serenity had returned once again. Wind-swept diamond sparkling waters rushed like a river, a powerful resurgence of spring, change was in the air.
Then slowly my attention focused on a miracle. My eyes misted with joy. The tree I sadly took to be a goner a few weeks ago, was very much alive... sprouting new green shoots, her arms raised up toward the light of a new season as she waited in deep waters!
For several years, the patient tree had done her best to adapt to the seasons. Prayers went out. I had learned and admired her resilience, making the best of a sudden shift in her environment, no longer living on the shore, but rooted in deep waters out in the lake.
I got the angel message. Don't be so quick to give up. Judge not by appearances. A lesson to have faith, and keep on reaching up toward the Light. Doing our best day-by-day, and not leaning on our own understanding, but putting more faith in the spiritual realm, things unseen, rather than in our human perception based on our five senses. Patience, perseverance and prayer will deliver you.
A mallard couple also presented a comforting angel message, resting atop the dry picnic table by the lake in the shade of an oak. A signal to do likewise, rest by the still waters and trust that God will deliver you in His time when facing challenges beyond your strength and endurance. "He has given his angels charge over you..." Psalm 91
I wanted to close by sharing a favorite Emily Dickinson's poem on Hope.
Love and peace,
