Relying on Spirit: An Angel Message

 On my morning walk yesterday, I was deep in thought about our nation, and the great need for healing prayers.  Up ahead, an unusual sight caught my eye.  A young white egret was foraging on the lawn and bushes in search of sustenance.   I sent out a blessing for him to find food.  

Around the bend, the bench by the community lake was so inviting, I sat down to rest in the sunshine to reflect on yesterday's sad events.   

To my surprise, an American flag, on a tall pole on the other side of the lake cast a reflection on the clear waters.  The red, white and blue stripes waved in the ripples. 

To my surprise, that young egret, on the path, soon waded right by me in the shallow waters at the lake's edge. So focused on the goal, he didn't pay any attention to me.  I watched those golden eyes narrow as he spotted something beneath the surface.  In record speed, his sharp yellow beak speared the waters. Breakfast--in one gulp. 

I could see the stringy water weeds, snagged on his dark stick-like legs, as he slowly waded on, one step at a time. Focused on the water, he stopped to wait.  Soon, another opportunity appeared.  Vigilance and patience had paid off. 

As he stood still in the warmth of the sun, his feathery white neck turned to stretch into the letter "S", glistening in the light. "S" for Spirit.

 I was thankful for the timely message to rely on Spirit, and to assert ourselves when opportunities appear.

This morning, the angels must have wanted to make sure I got the message.  A baby white egret, with soggy feathers from last night's rain, ventured close to the sun-room.  I'd never seen one so young.  Soon, her wings opened and she took to the sky on a quest. 

I was thankful for yet another angelic message from nature to rely on Spirit, and keep our thoughts and prayers on-high.  The best is yet to come.

 

 Love and peace,

You've Got Mail: An Angel Message

What messages are the nature angels sending you today?

An old lifeless tree limb, visible from our sun room, has become a focal point for bird mail.  On some mornings, a red shouldered hawk faces the sunrise to preen.  Or, turkey buzzards unfold their wings to dry after a swim in the lake.  Old black crows may swoop in, cawing out a warning.  You never know who might stop by.  That old trunk of a tree is a favorite local perch, and to think that I had once considered it an eyesore.   

Now I can see the timing of each arrival delivers a message that reflects what's happening in our lives.  This morning, I was thinking about an unfinished project from years ago.  I recently started in on it again, with some frustration.  Wondering if I should just move on, and begin something new, I looked up from the sofa.  

To my surprise, a majestic white bird was standing on top of the old perch claiming a blue sky. 

From the distance, I couldn't tell what it was. A crane, heron, ibis, or cow bird.

I asked the angels for help.  The camera lens bounced in magnification, but I got it.   

In the Florida Birds book, I discovered she is a Great Egret.

On-line, I learned this elegant bird emanates a message of great compatibility and heaven sense.  She stayed just long enough for me to understand the need to keep watch on high.  I could see from her "S" shaped neck, to let (S)pirit guide. 

Enjoy the day with the Angels. 

Love and joyful blessings,
