'Looking for the "White Feathers"'

🏡☕️ As I sat on the deck Saturday morning, sipping on a cup of - strong, black, hot - coffee, praying, thinking, and enjoying, etc., the splendor of God's creation that surrounded me, "socializing" on social media - some, and the such, a small, WHITE FEATHER, 🕊 gently descended from above (off of one of our "feathered friends"), the contrasting of the white against the other colors, highlighted the feather brilliantly, with the gorgeous backdrop of today's, wedge-wood- blue shaded sky, and, the many hues of green on the trees! 🌲🌳 And, I sincerely believe that, it was one of God's "love-signals" about which I often write, due to the nature of the personal thoughts upon which I was pondering, at that exact moment. 🙌🏼 Whenever I was younger, I didn't appreciate God's goodness in this world, as much as I should have...things such as - the vivid colors in nature (flowers, birds, etc.), air with which to breathe, water to drink, and the such! 😏 Lately, I've been very observant of most of these entities, accrediting all of their majesty to the Almighty Creator! 📖✝️🙌🏼 And now, as a 'saved' adult, besides being more appreciative of all of these amazing natural "gifts of nature," etc., I have the wonderful Holy Spirit, who, ministers to me, every time that, I acknowledge any of these "gifts," as being created by God, to be a blessing to the human race, and, gives me, at the moment of my acknowledging, a sensation of conformation that, I am right to believe in HIM. 🙌🏼 I'm thankful for this deck, the view from it, the enjoyable times that I have out here, etc., especially, when I'm sipping on a good, hot, cup of coffee! ☕️😉😊🖤 Hehehe!! 😂...There was a time in which I would have thought that, the way I am ANYMORE, as being very strange! 😜😂 Tomorrow, I am meeting my auntie, who is like a second mother to me, at her dental appointment. She has Dementia.  She needs a relative to assist her at her appointments, etc., anymore!  She'll be brought via ambulette, from the retirement center where she lives.  She is having new dentures made.  It was supposed to be a four appointment process, but, tomorrow shall be appointment number six, so, it's been a six week deal!  Hopefully, she'll be able to take her new dentures "home" with her tomorrow!  Observing the deterioration of her memory loss (mainly short term) is heart wrenching! 💔 She used to be so strong, capable, motivated, etc.!  She is one of my loved ones whom, whenever I was younger, I took somewhat for granted, and for that, I am sincerely regretful! 😢 She, and several others, took prestine care of my sister and I - while we were growing up, therefore, this is but a small, good, deed that, I can do for her! 💕 Caring for one another - amongst those we love - should be reciprocal, according to "God's childcare and retirement/old age care - package plan" (you might say) (Psalm 71:9) 📖 This ensures that nobody is left behind during, challenging and/or difficult, etc., seasons of our lives!  They did their best to take care of us when we were young, so, it is only right that, we do the same for them, when they are not well, and/or get old, etc.!  Thank GOD that, my uncle made sure that their finances, etc., were set up, so that, she is being assisted in daily living at a lovely retirement facility! 🙌🏼🙂 I am also grateful for my sister, Tina, who, offered (after our uncle passed on) to be her 'legal guardian,' and is doing an awesome job!! 💖 Tina knows that, it is very tough for me to DO (physically) a lot of walking (running errands, etc. - presently) because of the back pain with which I deal.  Otherwise, since I am the oldest of the two of us, I would have taken the responsibility of being auntie B's 'legal guardian.' 😌💕 A yellow leaf just slowly fell to the ground, "telling" me that, my favorite season, Autumn/Fall, is on its way! 🍁 Hallelujah!! 😃😉 However, it is also, a bittersweet reminder to me that, I am in the "fall season" of my life (54 years young)! 😏💖 I began writing this 'blog-post' on Saturday, and, it is now Monday.  I am back on the deck, but, Saturday it was hot and ☀️ sunny, and today, it is slightly cool and raining, ☔️which is perfectly fine - by me! I am definitely a pluviophile! 🌧🙂 I also, find it intriguing that, NOTHING stays the same in life (except GOD) - seasons, people, circumstances, etc.! 🙃...Okay, so, I just got back home from meeting "auntie" at her appointment. She did well, and, was a "happy camper," as she had new "teeth" (dentures) in her mouth, on her ambulette ride "home!" 😬😃🏕 Anyway, as I was sitting in my car in the dentist office's parking lot, praying and thinking about, "LIFE matters," such as - the, reality and sadness, of auntie growing old, and the such, WHENEVER, with perfect timing, I saw the ambulette coming up the driveway/entryway, and the song by Jeremy Camp, entitled, 'There Will Be A Day,' came on the radio!  The lyrics of that song correlated perfectly with my thoughts! 👵🏼🚑🎶🎶 God is faithfully sending us "signals," desiring that we recognize that, HE is with us, If only, we'll simply - open our, physical and spiritual, "eyes," and, acknowledge them! 👁 The realization, also dawned on me that, the new requirement (made by the transporters) for someone (a relative) to be present at all of auntie's appointments (because she's "acted up" a few times), is possibly - more for me (being able to spend precious time with her at these dental appointments), than for her!? 🙌🏼💝 You see, because of the large amount of walking to visit her at the retirement center, it's really challenging for me to visit her - as much as I'd like, which is sad for both of us! 😢 'The Good Lord' mysteriously works in ALL of our "business," day in and day out - 24/7!! Does HE not?! 🌎🕊🙌🏼💜 I found out today that, she has to go back for a checkup (to see if the dentures are fitting right) in a week, so, we are on to week #7 with the "dentures saga!!" 🤣 I'm thankful that, once again, "the good Lord will'n, and, the creek don't rise," I'll be there for her! ☺️🙏🏼 And, just as HE has been, every single day of my fifty four years of life, God shall continue to be with me, gracing me with the wherewithal to DO whatever HE "leads" me to DO...until the day I die, or, am "raptured" out of here! 🙌🏼 🕊🤣 HE was definitely with me the day, years ago, whenever my "nerves" were "on edge," and, before I headed home (out to the country) from town (a 20-30 minute drive), my nanny had given me - half of one of her "nerve" pills (a "peachy" ? 😳)!  And, my head bobbed (from almost dozing off) all the way home! 😏 Then, whenever, I was maybe - around 1/4 mile from my home, on the "mountain" (neighborhood), where we live, I finally did "bite the bullet" (fell asleep), and, drove into a little ditch that, runs parallel with the road, and, drove head-on into a small tree (in a wooded area - not someone 's yard - thankfully), which barely woke me up! 😳🤣⛰ 🌳🚗🏡 My body's chemistry doesn't do well with some pharmaceuticals! 😩 I couldn't back the car out of the ditch, therefore, I had to call my hubby, and then, he came, and pulled it out! I, the tree, and, my car, were all unscathed! 😉☺️😃😐 That is another one of my "bloopers," which I'll never "live down" - as far as my family is concerned! 😚🤣 🙃 However, God - faithfully kept on waking me up - all the way home, that day - on all of the busy roads! 🙌🏼 That incident affirms the statistic that, most (not sure of the percentage #) car wrecks happen within six (?) miles from, the people who are in the accidents, homes (or something like that?)! 🚗🏡 Anyhoo, there really shall be "a day" with no more Dementia, dentures, bad nerves, car wrecks, etc., thanks to 'The Lord's' VICTORY on 'CALVARY!!' And, God shall assuredly continue sending us - HIS "love-signals" between now and then! ✝️ PTL!! 🙌🏼 So, be encouraged, my dear brothers and sisters (Believers)!! ✝️ Continue yielding to HIS will for your life - day by day! 🙏🏼 Keep your eyes 👀 open - looking for those "white feathers!" 🕊 When, once we are enjoying Heaven - the tests, etc. down here, shall be worth it ALL! 🙏🏼✝️🕊💜...👋🏼...until next time..
