Everything is going to be all right

This past week I been thinking about my mom. How she loved the birds. How one day this summer she got all excited she had a cardinal at her bird feeder. You mostly see them in the winter. She had to tell everyone that God sent her this bird. She felt it was from God saying that everything was going to be all right. Well she was right everything is all right it didn't turn out the way we wanted it to turn out. We wanted the cancer gone and her healed but it didn't go that way. But she knew in her heart that everything would be all right.

We got mom's bird feeder that we gave to her a few years back I thought Noah would love it because mom and him use to watch the birds all the time.We got it put up and food in it in Dec. Not sure if we would get birds everyone said we did it too late in the year.

Well ,I was feeling a little sad missing mom and stuff so I asked God for a hug from him and I needed to feel my mom. I needed to feel everything is still all right. So I asked him to bring me a Cardinal like he did mom .
I told Noah what I was praying for and I said wait and see how soon God will bring it. Noah said Dad saw one today I said Ron you saw a Cardinal ? He said yeah, hmm OK what color was it? He goes Blue. No, that is a blue jay that's why they call them blue jays because they are blue. Now why are not cardinals called red jays?




So Monday I was telling Betty about my prayer for the cardinal she said OK I will pray that for you too. A little later was telling my sister Gayle about wanting to see a cardinal. So as I sat by the window with Caitlin my granddaughter watching all the birds we had that we never had before . We were getting excited. One blue jay came then went next two blue jays then we had five blue jays . Wow couldn't believe it!
I said OK Lord ready for the Cardinal.
Then here comes this beautiful red bird then another then 2 females. Yeah the Cardinals were here there was four of them. We got so excited Noah had to get right on the phone and call my sister to let her know then we had to call Betty too.

That was my hug saying everything is going to be all right. It sure is awesome when we get them little hugs like that every now and then.
The Cardinals have not been back again but we are hoping they will.
