Gratitude Journal – Day 196 – January 13, 2015

I always thought…

my ‘lucky’ number was 7, and in so many ways it still is after all we have a combined family of seven. Today, it dawned on me that three keeps presenting itself to me over and over. I have been praying about three items and decided that instead of worrying, I would just turn each one of them over to God… and that I did. And not only did he take my worry away, each of the three items turned out well. And I bowed my head and said, ‘Thank you dear Lord.’
Arriving home, I checked the mail and found three pieces of mail – none of which was for me. (that’s a great thing!) And I started really thinking about the number three.
- Three little birds – remind me to ‘not worry’
- Three kisses every time myDarlin' Robert Kenui Popeand I would walk into the house – remind me of the love in my life
- Three guitar picks found in myDarlin’s pocket the day he left - remind me of music being a constant in our life
- Three wrought iron flowers myDarlin’ bought for me during the spring of 2014 – remind me that love never dies.
- Three second video of myDarlin’ saying ‘Good morning baby, I love you…’ reminds me that all I have to do is listen and I can hear him.

And as I look back at photos, I see the one of the dress that I only wore three times. The first in Hawaii as we walked the beach, the second the day we got married and the third the day all of us gathered to celebrate myDarlin’s life. And then I realize as I look to the heavens why the number three is on my mind… I am grateful for the Blessed Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and turn my cares over in prayer…
