Dear Stan,
I wanted you to know about me finding the “Red Bird” on my Christmas tree. I just found out this week, so for weeks I have been trying to figure out HOW it is on the tree without me knowing about it. Cooper told me that you put it there when you decorated. I was so moved when I found it the one morning. I saw it as the perfect GOD time and it was a gift that you had no idea you gave me. Thank you my friend. I love your tender heart and how you love The Lord.
Love you,
Jan
Stan came to put the Christmas tree up on Monday. It’s beautiful! On Wednesday morning I was having my quiet time.. praying and reading my Bible. I was already thanking God for the example Mama left us, for all her prayer time spent praying for all of us.And I looked up and saw a “Red cardinal” ornament on my tree. BUT I have never ever seen that ornament before! Ever! It was not an expensive ornament but a simple paper-Mache type that would came from the Dollar Store (which would be so fitting since she loved the Dollar Store). There is was… there was God giving me a gift of remembering Mama. I was so moved and totally amazed…and thankful for this gift this morning!! I miss her so much and maybe The Lord was telling me it’s OK to miss her.
