My advent door gift jumped out at me a few days ago. I walked into the bedroom and a pink "sun" flower was in bloom by Christ on the wall. Where did it come from? The sunlight had even transformed the wooden window slats into a Christmas tree (evergreen, eternal, never changing).
The angels were at play, and the angle of the sun was perfect in time to create a living picture of hope and faith. The starry-petaled dollar ornament that hung from the dragonfly wind-chime at the sunlit window beamed its radiant colorful reflection by Jesus. Last month I found the plastic ornament at the dollar store and loved the way it captured the light in shifting pastel petals.
But this reflection was something new. An angel vision. The morning rays of a new day were angled through the window to project the flower symbol by Jesus. What did it mean? I thought about how we too will bloom in the light of a new day when least expected if we stay close to the indwelling Christ.
Funny how ordinary things may suddenly shift shining new insights to our understanding. A message to let go and trust in God. More is going on than we presently realize. What was hidden is revealed in the twinkling of an eye. The best is yet to be.
Remember you are never alone. Sometimes we find ourselves in a dark place, to discover that we are light. God has given His angels charge over you to guide you in all your ways. Be expectant of gifts from your angels, sudden surprises that delight your soul.
And, like in the classic movie, A Wonderful Life, every time a bell rings, an angel gets their wings.
Love, peace and joy,
Rae Karen
