Everything was so vivid, lush and green. It all looked perfectly manicured. The trees were in a perfect row. The branches barely moving in a cool breeze. I felt as if this were a movie of some sorts. I was grateful. I had a peace that I had never known before. I had a joy that filled every fiber in my being. There was no particular reason I felt this way. I knew everything was for a reason. I knew all was going to be perfectly OK. I knew my camera phone would not give justice to the beauty I saw.. I felt I needed to take this picture. If just to remind me one day of the peace i felt at that moment in time. I snapped the camera phone. I walked home. I sat down to check out my picture.

OMG, an Angel. WOW. She was not visible to my eye when I snapped the camera. God shines his light and reassures us through a person, place or thing that we are not alone. He wants joy, peace, and prosperity for us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. (Bible)

I showed my husband the picture. He was blown away, in awe. He is not of the personality to get all sentimental, yet he did. He has walked that path on many a day. I think I will always remember the peace I felt in my spirit. Today, since that picture one year ago I have had many moments of inner peace, very similar to that day. It is as if all fear was lifted from me. Our Fathers love is so deep I can not imagine how he cares for us. I just know he does.

Trust in the Lord God with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding but acknowledge him in all of your way's and he will direct your path. (scripture)

We live in a fallen world. This signs are all around us. The world is in trouble. I have been there. I know fear. I could easily focus on my situation and be in fear. My situation is far from perfect. We are in debt and nothing is for sure. I decide day by day to stay on the high road and look at my future. I will not let the Dark one have his way. He comes to steal, kill, destroy. Focus on the good, think of what you have to be grateful for. Do not stay on the dirt road. It is a dead end. No matter your situation you can rise above it with faith in him. Focus on that. It helps it really does. God will hold you up when you feel you can not take another step. You are not alone.There is one who has all power and that is Our Savior, Jesus. Invite him into your heart and repent of your sins and you will be saved. (John 3:16) ( Romans 10:9-10) These are not my words but the words of God. He sent his only son who took our sin upon himself in a most brutal death, he was raised from the dead and now lives in us. If we choose. WE can be in paradise for eternity with him when we pass from this earth.. Love Never Fails (1 Cor), Patti

But for the grace of God I asked Jesus into my heart in 1991. I was born again. I write this message in the hope that others may be helped. If one soul is saved it is through the holy spirit that used my words and knowledge of him to touch you. God has used me for his instrument because he cares for and loves you.
