Ever had one of those days or moments where your spirit and soul have been reawakened? Experiences, my own and those of others, have this effect on me, and I am thankful for those times where I am taught perspective and gain insight into those things that matter most.
Sometimes things hit me pretty hard and I find that I am touched deeply. Such is this case with the story of Kycie Terry...a beautiful, little, blonde 5-year old, who happens to belong to my daughter's eye doctor. The story unfolding in this family's life is one that has caused me to gain perspective on all that surrounds me here on earth and in the hereafter. Miracles are unfolding as we speak and I am in awe. Heaven is truly closer than we realize and angels surround us every day, every moment, at all times.
There is such power in prayer. Comfort, love, peace, hope...I have felt this power in my life and even though the answers to my prayers may not always be what I want them to be, I know the reason why. I know the answer to, "Why not?"... "How come?" And with that knowledge comes comfort that there is a greater purpose and reason behind what happens to us here on earth, why we have to face trials, hurting, sadness, and sorrow. I am comforted to know that all will be made right in the end :). Our story doesn't end here...it continues on into the next life.
My card today was created for the Crate Paper blog using the Kiss Kiss collection. The CP blog is full of Valentine cards and ideas and is a lovely place to brighten your day today :).

My heart and prayers go out to Kycie and her family. When I read the post about her Mom being able to hold her and the physical changes that occurred at that time, it reminded me of that incredibly special bond we have with our Mothers. Nothing on earth is like it. :) Hugs to your tender, caring heart for sharing Kycie's story--and your own thoughts, Melissa. As always, a wonderful design and card. xx
