After losing a loved one or dealing with a life threatening condition of a loved one, our hearts ache for their presence. We miss their physical being and all the goodness they brought to our lives. It is so hard to accept this change and finality/change of their physical being here on earth. Connecting to our loved ones on a new level is one way of attaining some peace with their transformation.
After losing my father as a result of a car accident when I was 4 years of age, I became accepting of his passing came over time. As a child, I never dreamt of him nor had any signs of his presence. It wasn't until I was an adult that I received that sign.
I have a treasured picture of my dad at Christmas time wearing a navy blue shirt on and black pants. His face had the biggest smile on it as I opened up my Christmas gifts. It was a few years back that a gorgeous blue butterfly with black lined wings appeared on our back porch. As I walked outside, this beautiful butterfly kept hovering over me. Even as I turned around in the driveway and walked back to the house, the butterfly remained all around me eventually landing on my hand. It then flew onto our chair cushion and I was able to get a picture-my sign that my dad is always hovering over me, now in spirit form. This butterfly remained on our back porch for the next few days. I am so thankful for physical signs sent to me as reminders of his love.
I do speak to my father in my own quiet way. I know his spirit helps guide me even though he is not here in his physical form. I go to his grave at times, but realize that it is not his true presence. His spirit energy surrounds me every day.
Over the years, I know of many people, including myself, receiving divine messages in other ways, such as through music. After my husband's stroke which left him comatose for 3 weeks, I was so weak, yet life went on. I remember having to take care of business and made a call to our rental car company to reschedule our drop off date. I was placed on hold for the longest time. My patience was thin as I was stressed and had other things to do. As I waited for an agent to come on the line, Kenny Roger's song, "Lady", began to play. Lady is my husband's nickname for me. Tears rolled down my face as the whole song played -ending in, "Your the love of my life...., you're my lady". My husband in his comatose state was speaking to me at the perfect time-letting me know how much he loves me and is still with me-just at another level. God knew just what I needed at that time-reassurance of his love and connection to me.
To this day, I am so observant to all the signs that surround me -messages that come through people, nature, music that plays on the radio or overhead in a department store, or even unplanned events that take place. All is in divine order-despite what we think.
Take this blessed day, and for a few moments, be more observant-whether it be during your own quiet time or even at a busy time at the grocery store- you will get the messages you need. Your connection to the divine is always there, we all just have to tune in.
Love and hugs to you,
