Out of the mouths of children.
Several neighborhood children just left my home. They range in age from 3 to 11. Every day, one or two will knock at my door to say hello and give me a hug. This has been going on since George died. Prior to that, I rarely spent time here. ( This was our vacation home.) I did not know these little ones. I was needed elsewhere and traveled back and forth to where I was needed. The children knew George.
This was supposed to be our retirement home. Cape Cod is a beautiful place and we had planned to spend the rest of our lives here. But......as those who read Revelation, George was called to Heaven.
Revelation tells how his Spirit prevented me from selling this home in Oct. of 2006.
For some reason, the children started coming to visit and offered to help clean up the yard, keep me company and invite me to cook outs at their homes etc.
When ever I pull into the driveway after being away, there is someone to welcome me back. I have come to love all of these little ones. I could write many stories of our times together.
Today, I was feeling low. Much is on my mind.......and then the doorbell rang. At first, two little girls came in. One just had braces put on and we talked about that. She had a cheerleading tee shirt on and we talked about that. It reminded me of the days when I was a cheerleader in high school.
Out of the clear blue, she said that I was going to be in the Guinness book of records as being the nicest person ever....................................WOW!!! Both little girls then started saying so many nice things about me that made my heart sing.......THE BLUES FLEW OUT THE WINDOW...........
Then the others came to the door and we had a houseful of little children.
Some of these children do not go to Church and had asked their parents about the crucifix in my home. They ask me about my Faith.
Another goes to Catholic school and she has told me that she feels good angels here. She has questioned me about George and his Spirit. She told me that the Angels are here with me.
I had never told her about Revelation or his Spirit here.
Much more conversation took place as the boys showed up. Now the talk has turned to fishing and kayaking. I fish with the boys and will kayak with them.
There is another knock on the door. Parents of these children have sent someone to tell them to come home for dinner.
As they left, my heart was filled with joy and love.........And to think, just earlier in the day, I was feeling so low............
