This was delivered on my doorstep last night. We were all so excited to see this Care Bear with a sunshine on it's belly. I wondered if someone has a connection with the snow plow driver? :)
Thank you whoever you are, wherever you are. Thank you for following your heart and delivering it last night. It was just what we needed. I promised to be truthful here. The good, the bad, and the ugly... I promised to be transparent.
We have been struggling these last few weeks. We are tired. We are weary. We want what we can't have... We miss our baby boy. Life hurts a lot lately. This load is heavy and the journey is long.
To come home and find this on our front porch was amazing! It made us smile, it uplifted our hurting hearts, and it felt good to hold "Sunny". This bear is so soft and cuddly! We have been talking as a family and reminding one another to always look for the sunshine in life. Even on the darkest and cloudiest days, the sun is still there and always shining. Sometimes you might have to look harder for it, but it is there!
So whoever you are, thank you for following the nudge in your heart. Your thoughtfulness made a huge difference in the hearts of my family and especially me!
Here's to a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a new day...

What a sweet surprise on your doorstep! Sometimes the best gifts are those that are delivered by an anonymous angel....almost like the hand of God reaching in and reminding you that He is there. He has done this for you so much throughout the last year! However, it takes a special heart to find those moments. So often God whispers in the ear of His loved ones only to be drowned out by the hustle and bustle of this busy life we are in. He has obviously planted a desire in your heart to long for Him, look for Him, and find Him in the ordinary. That is truly a gift that not everyone has and I am convinced that it is what gets your through the storm you are in. How difficult is it, after all, to remember that the sun is around the corner when we are under dark clouds and being drenched in the downpour. It is the knowledge that He has always cleared up every storm by pulling back the clouds, letting the sun shine through, and drying our shoulders with the warmth that gives us the faith to believe He will do it again.
Keep believing in His hand to carry you through your storm and land your feet on the shore when it is over. He is there to wipe away your tears, calm your fears, give your heart peace, and bring the sunshine and joy back to your life. Praying for you always.
In His love,
Julie
