As anyone who follows my blog regularly knows, Tom and I have been going to Cambridge every chance we get to allow for some R&R. About a month ago, on one such weekend, as I sat outside enjoying the beautiful view and perfect warm weather, I began praying to thank God for all the good things in my life. As I prayed, I started talking to my Dad and Tom's Mom and Dad, and my brother and sister. (all of whom are deceased; now I don't know how you feel about talking to dead people, but I believe they hear us and can answer us!)
Well this day, I asked (in frustration) for a response to whether or not I was heading in the right direction as far as my treatment was going. I asked for "anyone, someone to send me a sign if I was moving in the right direction." "Send me monarch butterflies!"
On Saturday, Tom and I drove to Cambridge to hold a 'ground breaking' celebration before our foundation goes in this week. It was just a little photo op for posterity. As we stood in the middle of the site with shovel and camera in hand, there appeared a monarch butterfly which landed right in the kitchen area!
My answer can't be any clearer!
Till next time! :-) Bets

I believe in signs!
God always talks in gentle ways. Keep on keeping on.
Hey Betsy, continue to keep you and the guys in prayer. Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with good food and good moments. Each day is filled with signs of Gods great providence. Sometimes it's butterflies, other times a strangers's kindness or the amazing color of a clear morning sky just before dawn. May your eyes and heart continue to be open to the signs of that great love God has for you. Blessings. Fr. Michael c.o.
...and what wonderful stories the butterfly has to tell! We are touched by this most wonderful story, as we are touched by your faith and confidence in the Lord. Our best wishes to you! -jo and Bob
