Calling on the Angels

Yesterday was a hectic day, especially in the morning. I needed to drive my daughter back to college and we awoke to thick fog. I get really nervous in fog and decided to wait a bit. I called upon the angels to clear a path of safety for us and began tidying up the house. After a few minutes I noticed it was brighter outside. I looked and the sun was coming out and the fog was lifting. My daughter, dog and I got in the car and started on our way.

I started the car and said a prayer of thanks to God and His angels for helping us. Well my gas gauge is broken and most of the time reads empty. I was not sure how much gas I had. Again, I called upon the angels and asked that the gauge would read accurate this time. Within 5 minutes of driving my gas gauge rose from empty and moved to one spot where it remained. I was able to tell how much gas I had and I did not have to stop for gas.

Well I got off the right exit on the highway and a huge tractor trailer truck cut in front of me. Because I could not see beyond the truck I drove right past the next exit that I was supposed to take onto a different highway. Well I called upon the angels one more time. I saw a sign that read the town where I was headed but on a different route. I decided to take the different route to hopefully get my daughter back to college on time. I asked the angels of God to guide me to the college, safely.

As I traveled a different route I noticed another sign that read the name of my daughter's college. We followed the direction of the sign and we were at the college in less than 5 minutes. The route I took was actually shorter and less distance than the usual route I take. Praise God!

Tears filled my eyes as I thanked God and His angels for all the help and for the three little but priceless miracles I had received.

God bless you,

Pray for Stephanie

I just read on Facebook that a 14 year old girl named Stephanie was involved in a serious car accident this morning. She was on her way to ice skating. The prognosis at this point is not good. But I believe, With God All Things Are Possible. Please pray with me. I do not know Stephanie but as a mother this touched my heart. I would appreciate as much prayer as possible if my child was involved in such a serious accident. Thankyou and God bless you.

The Blessing of the Peppercorn Steak

I am probably on the lowest ladder of quality chefs. I can cook but boy do I make mistakes sometimes. Sometimes I think I wear a sign, "Burned Food Find Me". It would take a few months to write about my cooking mistakes so I will write about last night.

I wanted to cook my husband a nice steak. I started cooking the steak and realized I forgot to add the seasoning that he loves. Thinking I had the right seasoning, I opened the cap and poof half the container of peppercorn fell out onto the steak. Shocked, I stood there as the Ghost of Cooking Horror appeared to me. I started to shiver and tears filled up in my eyes.

When I finally got my focus back I asked God to help me save the steak. I immediately felt His presence. As I calmed down I began to remove the peppercorn from the steak. By the Grace of God the steak was saved! I was able to clean off the peppercorn, reseason the steak and cook it in a different pan. I thought about the wonderful, loving husband I had. I thought about how after every meal he says thank you, even the burned ones! Tears began to fill my eyes again. This time they were tears of blessings and joy. I thanked God for bringing me the perfect man; a man that could even put up with my cooking horrors.

Gentle Whispers

I have always been intrigued by butterflies. My mom used to say whenever you see a butterfly someone from heaven is watching over you. Lately, I have been seeing an abundance of butterflies. My favorite are yellow butterflies.

Today, while my dog and I were taking a walk we saw an exquisite brown butterfly with yellow trim around its wings. The butterfly flew over my dog and then almost landed on my shouder. I had been praying for my daughter in college and for another special prayer. When I saw the butterfly a gentle peace came over me. I could hear the Lord's gentle whisper that all is well and all will be well.

The Lord talks to us in many gentle ways. Sometimes we hear a bird sing. Sometimes we see a beautiful sunset. Sometimes butterflies bring His gentle whispers of love. Let us open our hearts to the beauty and wonders of the blessings all around us. Let us know that God's love is always with us, every moment of every day.
