So I’m thinking that maybe I shouldn’t write a Ten Thankful this week…I am not sure what or if I have ten things to be thankful of. But because I am who I am, I won’t give up and figured, once I start writing it will all come flooding in; after all showing up is the first step to anything, writing, succeeding, achieving; right?
Therefore, here goes:
Clouds
An old friend is battling a very critical sickness and we are praying for our friend that he comes through. When I spoke to his cousin, who is one of my oldest and dearest friends, she told me that he is still critical but things are more hopeful…she proceeded to tell me how she is praying every night, and also meditating with her Aunt’s Rosary Beads. Last week she prayed to the angels and asked for a sign, a very specific sign. She told me that, she said out loud I am taking random pictures of the clouds with my phone please show yourself to me ….two pictures of clouds did reveal an angel or angels, she sent them to me, sadly I did not see them, yet .. I am not in the same mind set as my friend is ….I lost my faith a long time ago… oh I still believe in God and pray, I go to church but it is more of an understanding or out of respect. As for Angels, she reminded me that I was the one to tell her about Angels, and about guardian angels. She asked, “Do you still talk to yours”? It took me by surprise because I have not.
So I am thankful of the Angels my friend saw in her clouds, and that she reminded me that faith is much bigger than we can fathom… it is always there, we just need not only to believe, but to feel it.
Prayer
It does exist; the power of prayer, and that all things are possible with a light heart, a light spirit, believing and being positive.
Christine
I have known Christine for almost 30 years; I met her after I married my husband, who hung out with her brother, but often times Christine hung out too. After we were married, our apartment was where everyone hung out. Chris is funny and kind, smart and generous with her time and love. During our friendship, she met the love of her life, her soul mate – her husband Jeff, and moved away to the country. We have always kept in touch and when we talk on the phone, we can talk for hours…like way past our bedtimes. Not only has our friendship stood the test of time, but also the miles…she reminded me Thursday night that faith exists…logic is okay, it’s okay to worry, but it’s better to be positive and believe in Angels, believe in prayer and just believe.
Friday
I was very thankful for Friday, and having two days off.
