Sending Smiles Across Miles

Do we ever experience messages from Heaven?  I believe we do, but I will let you decide.  We lost a son 14 years ago, this month, stillbirth.  We named him Logan.  One day in church, as we were holding hands with others in the congregation, I had no one to hold my left hand.  When I suddenly had my experience with our son.  He was there, I know he was, not as a child, but as a young adult.  There is more to this story.  I will save it for another day. So today, I went to the dentist.  I usually have my husband go with me.  But that was not in the cards today.  I had to have a tooth extracted and it was a quick decision to have it done today.  As I was lying there with Nitrous going, yes I know many of you will believe this was because of the Nitrous, but I assure you it was not, I asked our lost son, Logan, to come sit with me.  He did come, he held my hand.  I asked him, “ Logan, what kind of troubles and great memo...

Life changes constantly, seasons, family, foods even we change.  One thing stays constant, God loves us continually.  I have struggled with being known as “Shelly, you know the lady that makes cards”.  Why is that such a struggle?  I want to be known as “Shelly, a child of God”.  I have strayed from card making in order to find what God has intended for me.  What have I found?  I am a child of God.     I have a gift/talent for making cards.  That talent was given to me by God.  By pulling away I have only harmed myself and hurt my Heavenly Father by not using the gift/talent he gave me.  How did that hurt him?  I was not sharing the love, hugs and smiles through card making.  This Child is ready to move forward.
