I had to share..... This beautiful and somewhat awing moment for us this morning........

This morning we enjoyed coffee and some bagels while relaxing and watching church  (wooddale church) via live feed on the patio in our backyard... Estella wanted to use the ipod to listen to some music, earbuds in toe she begins marching around the backyard singing softly. She stops at the top of the hill and says "hey! Tommy's here shining down on me! Do you see the glimmers?? Do you see how the cloud has a hole in it and its he's shining his glimmers on me!!!" and "he is singing the SAME SONG as me in Heaven right now!!!!"

Jack and I sit dumbfounded.....and very quiet.... looking at each other and then up to the sky~ back at each other as if we were saying "ummmm you see that right?"........  See right now there is NOT one single cloud in the sky.... no hole in 'the cloud', we see no 'glimmer' or even a ray of light???? 

She points again as if we are simply not getting it... Finally we walk up the hill~ she stands there pointing to up the sky at the "cloud" and the "glimmer"..... Jack and I stand still and in complete silence~ totally baffled and a little uneasy bc where she is pointing there is no cloud, we see no glimmer... What we do see is clear blue sky. After a few moments of her pointing again and again at the location of the glimmer and cloud, we say to her 'ooooh yes we see'~  and yes fully lying to her bc it seems that we'd crush her little spirit if we told her "hunny nothing is there, we see no cloud/glimmer, we see nothing".........

I can say that she was blessed to see what she saw. I have learned not to doubt in these circumstances....... Finding more and more every day that it really is true, as we age we become more calloused~ able to less and less of what is truly out there....what is in plain view to little ones is hidden from us.....

Love & Blessings,
