I've recently returned to the lake after a trip back to the hill country house. While there, the husband and I made a visit to one of our favorite local Tex Mex restaurants for lunch. Shortly after we were seated, I couldn't help but notice a cardinal at the window because it was in my direct line of sight. It continued to come up to the window and peer in the entire time we were there. It even landed on the door handle to the patio area.
Cardinals always remind me of my sweet mother. She had a fondness for them because their presence reminded her of her own dear mother. I know it's not biblical, but I love the saying that cardinals appear when angels are near. My mother and granny are in heaven now, and I certainly don't think they are angels. Or birds. Yet every time I spy cardinals, a peace washes over me because they bring to mind these special ladies whose memory I hold tight in my heart, and miss so very much. I praise God that I'll see them again one day after I've entered the presence of the King of Kings.
(Jesus said) Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24 (NIV)
