It all started this morning as I was on my way to church. I happened to look up in the sky and there in the middle of a cloud cluster was an opening in the shape of a heart. Then as if seeing this shape in the sky wasn't enough the song I happened to be listening to just happened to be singing a phrase that ended with the word "heart". I just sat there and soaked in the love I felt in that moment - it was awesome. Soon the clouds began to morph into other shapes and I moved on. After a few more blocks, twists, and turns I looked up and the opening had morphed into a much larger heart shape. This time I just laughed. The universe seemed to be tickling my own heart and it was a moment of pure joy. 
I went on with my day, sharing my experience with folks along the way. Then later in the day I had to put in a couple of hours at the hospital and walking down the hall I looked up and saw a picture that was of a quilt of squares with hearts in the center of each square. Thank you I said. And finally on my way out of the hospital walking down the hall on a very clean floor was a lone red rose petal - and guess what - it was in the shape of a heart! That one I picked up and brought home so I could take a picture and share it with you.
Now the first heart shape I could write off as luck, but after the fifth incident I am speechless as to what to make of it all. I do believe that God is sending us love and mercy continually, that we are never alone, and all that we need to make it through each day is right at our finger tips. The message and reminder to me today was Love, Love, Love - I am loved, love others, and receive love. How kewl is that!
What a gift of love God has graced you with this day!! How wondrously glorious. Savour it. Linger with it and put it in the pocket of your soul, to pull out on a day when God and God's love seems far away. Thanks for sharing your blessing with us!
