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 memories would you have given me if you were here?”  His response, “Mom,

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.
