Signs, signs everywhere I look signs...

Let me tell you about something that happened to me yesterday. I get up and of course it is Father’s Day so I am not in the best mood. Also my back neck and shoulders are giving me fits because on Saturday I was on the road for 8 hours. 4 hours out to the Scott reunion and 4 hours back, it was a great time so it was well worth it, but that is the longest that I have been in a vehicle driving since about 5 or 6 years. So with my mood and pain I decided the pool was the best place for me. Hooked up my music and cleaned the pool, then got in and was floating on my hammock. Just me, myself and I floating in the pool, sun shining with a breeze so it is not too hot. Neck, shoulders and back pain slowly going away. It is so peaceful. And I am thinking of Dad and Mom. I am floating listening to the music and thinking this is the 5th Fathers Day without Dad and now Mom is gone too. Getting more depressed by the moment, then I just roll off the hammock and go under the water, I come up and when I open my eyes there sitting on the roof of my house are two doves staring right at me. Then I hear the song playing is Martina McBride’s “God’s Will”. It was a few minutes of me staring at them and them staring at me. Someone is looking out for me. Call me crazy, but that was a sign. Then the doves took off and flew over the field until they were out of my sight. That warmed my heart and the rest of the day was so easy to get through, cause if I even started feeling low, I pictured those doves staring at me, watching over me.

Just like the frog…after we got back from Dad’s funeral, the funeral director brought the flowers to Mom and Dad’s house. We were unloading them and Charlie went to reach for one and there was a frog in it. Yes it was real. Charlie grabbed him and put him out in Mom and Dad’s yard. Then told us that the frog was Dad’s way of telling us that he is OK. The funeral director said that had never happened and we proceeded to tell him that he had never dealt with the Morgan’s before, where anything is possible.

And just like with the deer…we got Renee out of the hospital on Wednesday. After work that week I would head over to Ivan and Renee’s to spend time with Renee and see if there was anything anyone needed. I would usually leave around 10 or 11 at night to head back home. Every night from Wednesday until Saturday when I would get to a certain area on interstate 153 I would see two deer along the road. Saturday morning at 5:30 AM I got the call that Renee was close to passing. I headed over and yes I did see the deer again that morning but this time there were three of them. Renee had passed before I got over there. In my mind I saw the deer as watching me and making sure I was making it home after long and emotional days and nights. Yeah Dad and Mom watching over me then when I seen the third one that morning I knew Renee was with Dad and Mom. That Easter morning while we were out on the deck waiting for Hospice to arrive, the sun was trying to peak through the clouds then some love from above started. It was snowing, the biggest snowflakes gently falling down. Jeremy said it best when he said it was confetti from the party they were throwing to welcome Renee home.

Maybe it is just my love for the outside and all its beautiful scenery and creatures, but just like King George sings about…I Saw God Today…whether it is through my Doves, Deer, or even a Frog...I cherish every moment and peaceful feeling I get from all my signs. It may even be a Dragonfly, right Angie?
