Now and then something happens in this life that sets you back on your heels, and suddenly you see more clearly.
The day before yesterday this "something" happened to me. I was doing some browsing through blogs and I seldom do this unless I am going back just a couple of posts to catch up.
I had gone to visit Dawn, at Cottage State of Mind. I visited, read her post and checked to see if I have seen the one before. I lose track of the days lately.
And for some reason, I have no idea why, I found myself going back and back. Clear to October!
Suddenly, there in front of me was this post of Dawns. It began with MY NAME and a beautiful Autumn angel. The one I borrowed (stole) from her blog to show to you. You see, I took the angel because I don't want her to know I am writing this until after it is done.
Dawn had written this beautiful post for me because I was so ill. I had surgery on September 30th, losing a foot of my colon. I had spent the summer very ill with a massive infection. No cancer, but I just slid under the wire.
She, Dawn, had sent this beautiful angel to watch over me, quiet my mind and care for me. And I never knew! I NEVER saw the post! Not until that very moment.
I sat here crying. Grateful. Touched by the kindness of this woman. I wrote to her yesterday, thanking her and explaining to her that I had just found it.
She wrote me back the dearest letter. It's mine and I will keep it and her precious post close to my heart. Dawn's Autumn Angel will always watch over me. Thank you, Dawn. Thank you so much for everything!
As I have said before, if anyone asks you why you blog, send them to me, and if you think no one is guiding us, you might want to think again. :) Who led me to this post? I am completely well and feeling wonderful! It makes one think.
My love to all of you,
Mona
p.s. Dawn's post was on October 16th. My mother's birthday is on that day. :)
Dawn and I are both Libra's born in October.
A wonderful story reminding us nothing ever happens by accident and a higher power is in charge.
ReplyDeleteHello Sweet Mona,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, precious and uplifting story. And, how sweet of her to send you a special angel. I agree with Gail, nothing ever happens by accident and God is in charge.
hugs, I'm glad you are better.

Just goes to show ya, we are all here for a reason. We don't always stumble upon the good we have done or the lives we have touched in the course of a day!
ReplyDeleteYou have a greatly blessed day sweet Mona!
You were ment to see that post, thats clear! Great that yYou continued back so far :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seemes my blog have been hijacked by a chinese porno site, the whole story is to be read in my blog. It also seemes that my blog has sent out that spam to others. I hope You haven´t gotten that from me! If so just dlete it directly! Nasty when this happens!
Have a great day now!
Christer.

Mona,
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely post. I don't know Dawn, I will visit her blog after reading this. She seems to be another beautiful soul such as you.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. It was meant for you to read Dawns post after all these months.
Praying for your continued health. So good to know you are feeling well and more like yourself.
Your house is looking wonderful! Love your new paint colors and the updates.
Blessings,
Jan
Hi Mona,
ReplyDeleteThat is so touching, I feel like crying. Dawn is such a sweetie and I am so glad you are feeling better. Blogging friends are so wonderful that way! Hugs, Cindy
awwww..what a sweet post. and don't worry, theodora puddle pup is very used to being mistaken for a male. she has such a well rounded sense of being a superior female that it never bothers her. she just laughs a little about it!
ReplyDeleteMona~What a nice Valentine story of friendship.
ReplyDeleteI'm always in awww of the wonderful friends that continue to come and support my efforts for which I have a true appreciation for.
I will visit Dawn next. I enjoy visiting new friends.
Sweet wishes,
Sara
Oh my gosh Mona, now I'm in tears reading your post and all your followers sweet comments! I missed this post on my dashboard updates. I am adding my blog roll back to my main page as soon as I leave here. It seems to be the only way I can keep up with everyone, even though it makes the page so long!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Mona and all your/our sweet friedns!
Dawn
Isn't it so cool how we all are touched and blessed by people we may never meet in person? I have really enjoyed reading your blog and sharing in your celebrations of everyday life. Blog with you later. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and touching story, Mona. And how sweet and thoughtful Dawn is. Angels, both live and spirits, really do surround us....Christine
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful how the Lord guides us where we need to be at just the right moment in time? Thank you for stopping by and visiting. I hope you will enjoy many memories of your own from stopping by. I certainly enjoyed your posts. I also enjoyed reading about your life on your profile. You have overcome so much! Bless you.
ReplyDeleteHi Mona,
ReplyDeleteYou are so darn sweet! Actually, I am not that young, it was a 2nd marriage for both of us. My first lasted 18 years, but I know I got it right this time. Hugs my dear friend, Cindy
What a beautiful post and such a blessing to have wonderful blogger friends. The Lord does guide us all in the most unreal ways. So glad you found the post and were blessed. Hugs, Marty
