Singing in the Rain: Angel Message

 

Relief from the drought came late last week. The wind picked up, the sky opened up, and the rains finally came pouring down in a joyful sound-- one I often take for granted. At that moment, I was sitting on the screened porch gratefully soaking up the symphonic rhythm of happy little raindrops. Immediately a lone frog began singing  in a loud voice in the nearby bushes.  The frog didn't care who heard him, he belted out  his song with all he had. He sang because he was grateful.  It didn't matter if his voice sounded like a creaking shoe. 

Amen! I laughed, thankful for the angel reminder.  The acronym for FROG:    FULLY RELY ON GOD. 

He responded in a chorus of triumphant CREAK! CREAK! CREAK! 

Last night, an abundance of rain replenished the dry earth, nourishing the trees, bushes, grass, and flowers.  A touch of playful synchronicity had happened earlier yesterday when this big-eyed green frog garden ornament took a leap into my cart-- one-of-a kind, at the Dollar General.  Ribbit!  Fully Rely on God. 

The keynote of frog is transformation through water and sound.  The call of the frog is the call of the waters.  The frog is a symbol of metamorphosis.  It changes from an egg, to a tadpole, to a frog.  Even after it becomes a frog, it lives close to water.  Emotions are associated with water.  

 

When moving like a tortoise under pressure, it's helpful to remember the symbolism of the frog, pictured in this statue, guiding the way.  And, to know that we, too, will move forward under grace with the help of the angels when we fully rely on God and take it slow and steady, expecting the best is yet to be.   And keep on singing your own harmonious song. It makes a world of difference. 

Love and peace,
