Did anyone else find themselves praying night and day for DEMs to hold onto our Democracy?

11. OMG It's not just me.

All my life I have had birds show up during my darkest moments.

A dove on my neighbor's lawn one New Year's Eve when everything that could go wrong did go wrong, but I still had to be up and on the Rose Parade route at 5am. My neighbors (kids younger than me, siblings of my friends) laughing at me while I was pushing my car up the driveway. It had died just short of the final goal.

Being older I grouched at them, "Are you going to laugh or help?" They did both. I thanked them for their help and then sighed and looked over at my neighbor's lawn. There was a white dove calmly sitting in the middle of the sea of green. I was able to take the hint that God would get me through it and got a little sleep and made my way the next morning.

Over the past few years I have been seeing an Eagle during crushing moments when I am almost ready to give up.

On the top of the telephone pole in my alley. My husband saw it too and I took a picture.

Flying above me on my way too or from work and when I've been going to my car shopping.

Often when I am expressing doubt or wishing I had a stronger faith.



I have thought of going to our local Indian church and seeking the opinion of an elder there, since having a spirit guide like that is part of their belief system. Looking for a way to honor this gift.
