Two Feathers

Today I went to the one place in the world that I feel the deepest spiritual connection, the boardwalk at Indialantic, Florida. As I was walking on the beach I found two feathers. They made me think of my friend Melody, who recently lost her husband, Mike unexpectedly. She had posted something on Facebook about feathers a few days. So, I picked up the feathers.

When I was leaving a lady saw me carrying the feathers. She told me I must have had an angel by me because I found the feathers. I told her about my friend Melody and her husband Mike. She said he must be trying to say hello to Melody. I believe that is true. I also think it's a sign from others I've lost along the way.

As I sat holding the feathers and watching the waves roll in I thought about what the lady said to me and about those I've lost, and about Melody, Mike and others. I thought about all the people who have crossed my path over the years, the angels in my midst. They are like these feathers. They are not perfect. The weather of life has beat up their outsides and they have the dirt and dust of defeat on them. Yet, in spite of it all they all have beautiful spirits that shine brighter than the sun.

I find the way God speaks to me to be amazing. He uses every day things to teach me lessons and get my attention if I will only listen. So, to Melody, Mike, my grandbabies, and other unsung heroes in my life thanks for being the angels in disguise.
