Today in the afternoon I was feeling sad, frustrated, kind of like everything piled up at once, overwhelmed with with more work to do than I had time for, having to rehome my cat and missing him, computer problems, some physical challenges, and trying to figure out where to move to. (We have packed half of our house because we were going to move last Spring to a more rural beautiful area near the forest but then all the Summer/Autumn wildfires changed our mind. So we still have half of our house packed up in our garage waiting in limbo because now we aren’t sure of where, or if to move.) Anyway, I just threw my hands up in the air and went outside to sit by the fountain. My husband joined me.

Beautiful new flowers were blooming and the soft breeze was wafting their fragrance across my face. It was such a beautiful day outside, but I was not in any mood to give it much attention and I could not hold back the burning tears…it was just all too much in that moment. I was letting the downs get me down.

Suddenly a cute little pair of Finches flew into our tree and the male finch with the bright red feathers on its head and chest started looking down at me and chirping loudly with such intensity!! I looked at my husband and said “He’s saying he has a message for me”. I just knew it in that moment. As the bird kept chirping at me, I looked down on the patio table to get a kleenex out of this little packet and wipe my tears. It was the last kleenex in the packet and I never really paid attention to what was written on the packet before. But this is what it was…

On the top of the kleenex packet was written “Summon Your Strength!” On the flipside where you take the Kleenex out of the packet was written “Soulever Lift!”

What??!! Have you ever seen that written on any Kleenex packets before? I haven’t.

Well, there was the message for me! That was a Wow moment! I was supposed to let the meaning of it all sink in.

I stopped crying and started laughing and smiling and calling on the strength within me from my Mighty I Am Presence. The bird stopped chirping at me.

I looked up and said with glee, “thank you beautiful bird!”Then they flew away together. It seemed their mission was done.

We were quite astonished and yet it seemed so natural… because it was. What started out to be a real downer was changed into an uplifting experience which helped me to get back on the right track that day! I got back my positive, hopeful attitude and started putting my focus on all the many good things in my life, and counting my blessings… by summoning that inner strength. What a sweet uplifting gift God gave to me through that Bird.

Our Divine Guidance comes in different ways. We just have to be consciously aware and pay attention so we can receive the Higher Communication with the full Blessing it has for us.
