little daily miracles

I'm back, I thought I would share with family a series of miracles that happened last Tuesday.



I was on call Monday night and went to make a visit to a family I had not met before. They were distressed because mama was dying and wanted a nurse to come out and tell them what they already knew. I go home about 1:30 am Tuesday morning. Climbed into bed hoping that no more calls would come in but expected one from the family I had just visited.



Suddenly, out of a very sound sleep I woke up. I looked at my bedside clock and noted the time was 5:47am..almost time for the 6am alarm to sound. I wondered what had shook me out of such a sound sleep! Uggh...I rolled over and tried to get a few more zzzz's..slapped the alarm off when it sounded...struggled with getting the bed off my back and had one leg out from under the covers when the phone rang.. 6:20am...Above family called... Mama is gone, come right away.



It was later in the visit that a granddaughter reported that her grandmother had died about 5:45 am..So that is who woke me up! She was giving me the head's up to get out of bed to get to her house and family.



On the way to her home I saw a beautiful sunrise!



Later that morning I was using the ladies room at Hardee's in Oliver Springs (water pills were doing their work). I opened the door for a lady who had her arms full of goodies, she looked up through the door as I held open for her and then said, "How beautiful you look!" Wow, if that didn't make my day!



I made a visit to a patient that is a vocal teacher and choir director at her Methodist Church. We had shared stories about selecting music and how thrilled we both were when the minister's talk corralated with the selected hymns chosen weeks earlier. I had told her that I was singing a solo in Church for the Christmas program. This Tuesday she asked me to sing it for her. Then she critiqued it..She was very kind in her comments..



So you see, I had many small miracles on Tuesday...I hope you found some too. Love , Mom.
