I lost my sweet pet bunny earlier this month. She has been with me through the big move to TX, even flying 1st class down here in her bunny carrier. She stayed with my best dog Ruby, the night she passed, never leaving her side. For all intents and purposes, she was like another pup and losing her signaled the end of that era but also the end of my AZ life. I stood outside last evening, thinking of Bunny, Ruby, Troy, Sherrie, Adrienne, my Mom and Dad...and thought " what if there is nothing?" What if I don't get to see them all again? At that moment, my tree lights came on, as if to say "Are you nuts? We send you our love all the time!" Made me laugh. They are always with us. I just chose to feel all alone in the world. I am never all alone :)
Nancy, I'm so sorry about your bunny. That is a big loss and as you said, closes out one of the ACTS of your life. The perfect timing of the lights is WOW! I appreciate that you are open to the signs and messages God allows us to see and love to tell me about them.
From my devotion this morning: "I communicate continually through My Spirit, My Word and My creation." And references Psalm 34:4-7....also home to Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." THESE words of yours so very beautiful and real: "He was there at that moment and has never left. He's been there my whole life, but I think I didn't care enough to really notice. I get these signs only because I am open to them and recognize the messages."
Such great wisdom here! I love that God is giving you this wisdom and the signs of Mo. She is definitely not forgotten...I often still hear a volleyball (now being hit at my garage door by own girls) and almost always fondly remember the days of Morgan playing on your deck.
Jeremiah 33:3.... The more I pay attention, the more I realize God is there. Yes, those signs are real and all around you. So glad you have that comfort amd so very sorry that Morgan is no longer on this earth. Beautiful post. Thank you for sharing.
"He's been there my whole life, but I think I didn't care enough to really notice. I get these signs only because I am open to them and recognize the messages. They are there for everyone, but you have to want them. They could be happening right in front of your face, but are you too distracted with (what?) to see them?"
Beautifully said, Joan. I could not agree more. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. It becomes so real and I love it and am amazed each time, but it lapses. I think heaven will be a state where it doesn't lapse.

Thank you. You also telling me in the summer of the gray stand up pillow with arms (do they have a name), helps. Love your family!
