“When you see a cardinal, somebody you love is near you”

I sit down at the end of the table and was eating my lunch and I glanced up and there was a window just on the other end of the table. There’s a window and outside the window is a maple tree that this time of year, of course, is completely devoid of leaves. It’s just a kind of gray, bare branches. But when I glanced up, my heart almost stopped.

It was, it was an entire flock of cardinals in that tree. And it was like, “that is amazing!” It was so beautiful. The red was so astoundingly beautiful, the sun was shining on them and the snow in the background and it looked like the tree had been decked out in the brightest red ornaments you could find, and the thought popped into my head that somebody just said to me this last week, they said, “When you see a cardinal, somebody you love is near you.” And so, here I had a whole, I was like, I have my whole family was out in that tree. So, that was just a little something I wanted to share that how God gives us those moments to cheer us and to let us know that we’re not alone.
