Predictability

Where are my stinking keys? Some things in life a just plain predictable. I was thinking for instance the sunset. Don't worry, I couldn't help myself and I googled predictable things. As any good internet searcher I went to the first sight listed that didn't have any obscenities in the view-able lines. Reddit did not disappoint! What is as predictable as me losing my keys......the agony of pooping after eating jalapenos. What? TMI? Mkay. I digress.... I work in an environment that is often VERY predictable. As much as each patient is different there's so much about their stay and their care that is to be expected. I'm blessed beyond measure to work in a NICU and as you can imagine there are times that we (the parents, staff, the doctors) often call upon the Heavens on behalf of the babies. I was able to do my part as a daughter of God and communicate with my Heavenly Father on behalf of the tiny infant as well as his parents. I was given the opportunity to share in a sacred moment with them. When the noise of the hospital stopped, the Spirit was strong, and the humble father took a minute on behalf of his son to communicate with his Heavenly Father. To call upon the angels to surround his tiny baby and to comfort him. While it of course went back to business as usual here in the nursery, for one small moment it felt as though the Heavens had opened and the angels had descended. I hope that the parents felt what I felt. I draw comfort from the prophet Elisha when he said, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them” (2 Kings 6:16) Angels attend to us during some of the most difficult moments of our lives. They surround us when we are discouraged, depressed and scared. I had an experience myself during a hospitalization that I will share at a later date, but it solidified my testimony of Angelic presences in our lives. I know we have both earthly angels as well as Heavenly. How predictable are the angelic presence in your life? Are you living in such a way to be in tune with those around you that have come out of love for you? Are you inspired by their love? After my experience where it is near impossible to deny their presence. That experience, those memories, and feelings. They inspire me to be a better person. To love more freely. To be the kind of person that uplifts others. Who's with me? What uplifts and inspires you? How can you uplift and inspire another? I read a great quote that said,"By uplifting others, you rise higher towards your own destiny."
