Heaven Sent Gifts

I am so blessed to live where I live.... and today, in an effort to connect and get some insights to what this week’s reading should be focused upon I went for a walk along the marina.  Today there were no turtles or water snakes, but while I sat and listened to the waves lapping peacefully on the shoreline watching the boats in the harbour, I gave thanks. 

I gave thanks to be able to sit there and enjoy the sunshine. For being able to hear the laughter of children & families embracing another beautiful Sunday.  I gave thanks and realized how lucky I am.

Continuing my walk I wondered in awe what blessings, other than these would I encounter, because spirit, when in the Now intention, always send us a message, or messages because we are open to receive.

Today I spiritually connected, “spidey” antenna up and ready to receive, as I purposefully opened my heart to whatever my guides, angels and helpers would share with me.  It wasn’t long before I saw in the grass, my first blessing.  A small white feather, the wind moving it slowly back and forth in momentum in the grass , so I would not walk by and miss it.  I picked it up, stroked it back into place because in its effort to be seen, the barbs and veins had spread open making it seem to the naked eye like it was damaged.  I popped it into my purse after thanking the Universe for sending me such a beautiful gift.  Damaged or not it was coming home with me to join all the other little feathers I had collected over time.  Nothing is EVER damaged enough that it cannot heal.  We can all mend, with love, kindness and understanding. 

My second blessing was to look up into the clear blue skies to see a Cooper Hawk being chased by a small bird.  The small bird didn’t give up, it continued to ward away the large bird away until the hawk eventually gave up and flew away.  I felt this was spirit reminding me, us that even if someone  or something seems bigger and more powerful  to never underestimate the power of being small.  Even when we may feel small and insignificant when dealing with some situations in life, it is totally immaterial.  You are NEVER too small to make a BIG difference in life.  You only have to reflect on people who have stood up and spoken out and the changes that they brought about.

My third, was a large feather, I think it was from a seagull, so I took the time to look up the spiritual significance related to the seagull and basically it is looking at things differently.  Taking a moment to step back from everything possibly changing my attitude towards something and find creative new ways order for it to succeed tapping into the resources that reside within.

And my forth, but I don’t  feel it is my final gift today, was a black ribbon, where or how it got caught under my hat, I have no idea, but it was dangling down my face.  Initially I thought my headband had come unravelled, or my hat was falling to pieces.  No and No.  Did it drop from the sky, the heavens?  Possibly .  Black I have reminded people is the inclusion of all color, it’s of remembrance, respect and awareness.  Time to take a serious look at things..... knowing... eternity.
 
My FOUR gifts today symbolize for me that my angels and helpers are there around me all the time, they protect me, give me strength and guidance and most of all faith to continue believing that I am always exactly where I should be at any given time.

I am thankful that I was given all these gifts, the black ribbon now holds together the four large feathers that were gifted to me over the past few weeks during my walks. 

As Wayne Dyer shared “When we are open enough to receive, the gifts will come flowing towards us.”
