I love your posts! And, I think that you are definitely aware of God's blessings, and I'm sure that we can't understand ALL the ways that God is working things out for HIS glory and (oftentimes) for our good. We do know that God works in mysterious ways, and His ways are higher than our ways. Love you, friend!
Father Mike's message in Episode 173 was pretty powerful. Episode 175 gave me a lot of comfort also. I am glad it spoke to you in the way I hoped it might. As for me and God winks, He sends me Scripture over and over again that give me the comfort I need at that moment. He repeats the themes, whether Father Mike's messaging being mirrored in my devotions, or my devotions mirroring other verses that cross my path and gave a certain reassurance, or the priest, as my husband has noted, seem to draw from our private conversations at home to shape his homilies. For now, I stand in confidence with my faith in God. I don't yet know the end of the story, but I must believe that He will provide and that the tools He has given me will be sufficient. I don't know why He took from you your daughter, why He allowed me to have three miscarriages, why He took away a job I loved and was good at, but I have confidence in Him. Thanks for this powerful post. God bless you Joan. So glad we met in real life.
I needed this today. I drink coffee on the patio in the morning. Every time I see a Cardinal, I say thank you God for sending the beautiful birds to brighten my day. Monty loved the Cardinal’s we have and it makes me think of him. I’m about to sell his truck and it’s staying in our neighborhood. I’m a bit anxious about seeing it all the time. I know that sounds crazy but the feeling is weird. Hope all is well.
I understand your feeling of seeing it all the time, but in a way they are "living here" still when we see their cars or other things. It brings a moment or two of grief for sure though. I'm happy the cardinals bring you happiness in the moment. Thinking of you!
Just this morning, I got close enough to take a photo of one of the Cardinals in my yard. Now I will think of Monty. God bless you and I am sorry for your loss.

Nope, we won't get to understand while we're here most likely, but because we know he is love, we know he's got us.
