Four Leaf Clovers Now

For five years I have walked the beaches of my little hideaway; and as I searched for answers to the Universe I would find pieces of sea glass.  Each major score was given up by the ocean in response to a very difficult dilemma. 

I returned home for a very trying time in my life and thought I would be here for two weeks.  Illness intervened and I have been here now for over a month.  In that time as I searched for answers and talked to God I would find four leaf clovers!

It took some time for me to realize that the clovers were; while delightful, one of those signs that I tend to miss.  St. Patrick used the three leaf clover to teach the trinity to what he considered pagans in his time.  I realized that my four leaf clovers, were for me, my sign to remember, that God has carried me through all things with Patience, and would again take me through this.  

I needed to be here for many different reasons that at the time I could not foresee; however once again to my utter amazement; and I still don't know why I am always so surprised; God knew I was needed here and not back in my little hideaway in Mexico.  

You see I believe that God lives within us all; and if we listen patiently to his voice, he will guide us.  However being SO very human I always need those signs he sends me, to remind me, to shut up and listen and then I usually get it right!  I have found a plethora of four leaf clovers so you can imagine how closed off I was to Gods voice until last night.

It was a simple moment in time with my husband and son that made me realize WHAT God was telling me; and then the flood gates opened and I slept last night like I have not slept in years.

So once again while not all signs are obvious I am grateful to God that he takes the time in my life; to keep pushing me into the light, so I don't miss the real party, which is living in this moment which is all we have.
