A time for miracles!

Last month I went back to Denver to do a childcare seminar with my son, Marty. We had promised the audience that we would return because we had ended our last seminar there in November very early. That was the day when we got the news that my daughter had passed away. This was the wonderful audience who had lined up that day to hug and pray for us as we left to return to Houston to make arrangements for our final good-bye to Tobi.

We had a huge audience when we returned on March 28th. They were another amazing audience. One of the women came up to me during the first break. She told me that as she and others left the day of the November seminar, they looked up into the sky and saw a huge cloud formation shaped like an angel over the conference center. They were very moved by it. Later, others who had been there in November told me the same thing. I was very touched. It reminded me of my little tealight battery operated candle that I lit on the 2 year anniversary of my mom’s passing away. These little candles normally stay lit 24 hours, and this one stayed lit for nearly 7 weeks, and every time I looked at it, it reminded me that I was not alone, that miracles are everywhere.

It is especially appropriate to write about this during this week. This is a week for the celebration of miracles. Tonight ushers in Passover. It commemorates the Jewish people fleeing from the bondage of Egypt and God saving the people by parting the Red Sea so they could cross it. This Sunday is Easter. It is a time of celebration for Christians all over the world of Jesus being resurrected from the dead.

There are miracles all around us. We only have to look and to believe.

Have a great day. You are not alone.
