Angels often sneak up with little heart-felt treasures to let you know that God is Love. They speak to you in a language that makes your heart sing. A message that means something special to you. Their timing is always divine--just when you need it most.
That's what happened this morning before dawn when I let Hei-Hei out on the back porch. I found myself stepping outside in my pajamas to greet the chilly dawn. I was glad I did. The pasture next door was a vision of peace, a portrait of stillness as I breathed in the freshness of a new day. Suddenly a brush of angels wings stirred the sky above me. A large flock of snowy white ibis flew above me and I waved my arms in gratitude, softly calling out in a welcoming cry as they flew in formation toward the sunrise.
I caught a glimpse of the Snow Moon above the tree tops. It shone like a valentine through heart shape branches of neighboring trees. In that special moment, everything seemed expansive, stretching me beyond my five senses into a vision that we are all more than we know. God is All.
Coming back down the driveway, something else caught my eye. A rain puddle in the pavement mirrored the beauty of my favorite old tree. Today is a day of quiet reflection. A time to be still and remember all the ways God has come through to show His Love for you. You are His valentine.
