Shooting Stars & God

I bet you wonder what has this got to do with anything! Well I am about to tell you about something amazing and wonderful to me.

This all started when I was young. My father loved nature and astrology. He taught us to respect God's creations and taught his grandchildren the same. God gave us this beautiful planet. Over the years I have learned to communicate with the earth and stars, what I am about to tell you is something that has happened to me.

When my father died in 1997 I needed a way to communicate with him to let him know I would be okay and to tell him how much I loved him. So I decided each evening to look up at the stars that he taught us about and pray to God for my father to hear me. Guess what, he did. Every time I would go outside in the dark evening hours before I would go to bed I would look up, say hello and the shooting stars would start. The first time brought tears to my eyes. He heard me! I was so excited and continued to do this often. Each time shooting stars would start.

One evening I had my niece with me staying overnight, she was younger and a very smart young lady. I told her about my experience and I asked her if she would like to say hello to grandpa. We went outside, looked up to the sky, said "Hello grandpa" and stars just started shooting all over. She was holding my hand and as we stood there watching the sky. She knew then that he was watching over her also.

So over the years I continue to do this but not as often as I did at first. This morning I got up early like I usually do, 5:00 a.m. I stepped outside to breath in the fresh air and see if the rain had stopped. As I looked up to the sky I was amazed at the beautiful sky full of bright shining stars. We have not seen them in awhile because it has been raining for days and days. This morning it was so clear and sharp, the air smelling of fall.

I decided to say my prayers and thank God for being in my life during this stressful time since I found out about the cancer. I told him how grateful I am and glad he is in my life. Guess what? Three shooting stars just like that. At that moment I knew my father and God are both watching over me and that I will be okay. I never had any doubt in the first place. This just showed me that I needed to communicate in the way I was taught many years ago with the universe and God. He sends his message in mysterious ways and we just need to watch for them. I look forward to many more conversations.
