LET MIRACLES FIND YOU

Do you believe you get what you need when you need it and at the perfect and right timing? I believe everything happens for a reason and it’s always for my highest good and the good of others.  I’ve learned to expect God’s favor and to look for signs that I’m on the right track and in God’s perfect plan. 

After my daughter-in –law Suzie died 3 years ago, while still at her wake, my son handed me her pewter angel with the inscription, “Let Miracles Find You.” He said, “Mom, Suzie wants you to have this.” I often think about what it means to “Let Miracles Find Me.”  It means I trust that God is with me and that I am never alone. It means that God will show up at the perfect and right timing.  It may not be my time, but it is always the perfect time.

A few days before Christmas, as I sat all by myself in church, I was really missing my mother – even though she died 42 years ago.  She died on January 1st, so the holidays can be a trigger for me.  As I looked around at the families gathered together in church that day, I felt sad, lonely and vulnerable.  I knew I needed to really nurture and take care of myself, so I went home, took a hot bath and a long relaxing nap. One of my favorite ways to nurture myself is to curl up in my bed with my soft blanket after my bath.  Each of us do that in different ways, but what’s important is that we take the time to soothe ourselves, so that we can open and receive God’s love in our lives.

 The next day after church, while I was praying, I wrote in my journal, “Thank you for the miracles that will find me today.”  That afternoon, I stopped at my friend Mary’s house to exchange Christmas gifts.  I literally gasped when I opened her gift. There sat a beautiful angel with the inscription “Let Miracles Find You.” What a confirmation and sign that God was with me and that I wasn’t alone.  Miracles are always finding us when we expect and believe. We must be awake and plugged into the Power within to receive our miracles from God.
