Have you ever prayed with every ounce of your being
~ to the point that your body vibrated from the intensity of your fervent prayer?
God truly hears impassioned pleas sent by those who are pure of heart and have limitless faith in His love.

Miracles do happen. I have seen them unfold countless times before my very eyes.
I have a knowing when God is intently listening to my humble and plaintive words. The air becomes somewhat electrified and smells like roasted marshmallows. There is a stillness in the air and my breathing becomes slow, and deep, and even. I strongly feel God’s presence at such times and “All is well”, resonates throughout my being and trusting soul.

There is far more to heaven and earth that could ever be dreamt of in any philosophy ~ be it from the East, West, North or South. God and His angels DO exist throughout the world ~ and beyond. They hear our heartfelt prayers and rejoice in our thankfulness. Prayers do get answered and miracles are being performed every moment of every day ~ albeit in divine time and in divine order, as in accordance with the Universal Plan.

I give thanks for all the wondrous happenings that occur in my life as well as in the lives of those  for whom I pray. I also express my gratitude, in advance, for all the blessings and miracles that we have yet to receive. Thank You, Dear Father.

Amen
Linda

Beautifully said dear Angel of Earth.  And
your picture is all I imagined that you would
be once you spread your wings and let us share
the beauty of you....

Magnificent One, I thank your for the magnanimous response to my photo. As you know, I had been holding back on posting it because I felt that I would be uncomfortable seeing my face posted all over the net ~ and I am! But the time had come to show my face to my friends.

I usually wear my hair in a pony tail but I wore it up in this recent photo taken at my girlfriend's son's wedding. My boyfriend chose this picture because he says it is natural and not posed and shows my spirit.

Love & Light,
Linda

Your boyfriend made two wise choices..

You, of course...and the picture which does
say so much about your spirit..I commend him
for his choices...

And you for knowing a gem when you see one.

Oh, Linda, I am so happy to see what you look like. Makes me feel so much closer to you. It's the next best thing to meeting you. Thank you for posting it.

And your words are wise and wonderful and I am grateful for you and all you had to say.

May God's blessings continue to shower you and those you love.

Love and hugs dear sister, Marti
