Last Friday morning while in the middle of my devotion, I was distracted by the beautiful sound of the birds at my window. Then I heard them from the back room. Before I knew it, I was hearing them sing from each window like surround sound. It made my heart smile. This house was always surrounded by different types of birds singing to me. I’d like to think that God sent them to make me smile. I would always thank Him for them, after all they are His creation. I found myself asking the Lord; Lord wherever we end up living can you please send them there.
As soon as I was done with my devotion, Lucille (my dog) and I went for our walk, it was a sunny beautiful morning. Just as we turned the corner onto the horse trail I saw something very shinny from the corner of my eye. I stopped looked down, it was a charm shaped of a heart. As I held it in my hand immediately I felt the Lord telling me…I love you and I know your heart. Trust me!
Sure, in any given situation, I could have picked it up and said, “neat”, stuck it in my pocket and kept going. Bug this wasn’t the case, I believe that the Lord used this as a symbol to speak to me. He knew how I was feeling, and He knew in that very moment what I needed to hear from Him. I began to thank Him and praise Him.
Minutes after we got back home, the phone rings. It was the realtor telling me that a bid for our house had just come in at our asking price. Wow! There’s more…that Sunday afternoon as my husband and I were sitting at the table signing papers; our hearts were sinking as we were faced with so much to do, so much to think about, the sacrifices we were facing. Once again the phone rings, talk about perfect timing! The Lord had Angles call us (yes, you heard me right, Angels!) to rent a home to us. Not only did this home fit our needs and then some, but we get to keep our Lucille. Thank you Jesus, thank you, you are worthy to be praised!
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24
