I am dying to share what happened to me yesterday. It might be something that is just significant to myself but if anyone else finds the significance, it'll be PT folks.
I've been really down lately. I have my friend from work dying, my company has denied my shoulder surgury, so I am not getting paid for several months and now will be suspended for an "unexcused absence", I'm stressed with school, blah blah blah. I don't want to get into all of my woes, but I had just gotten into an argument with my boss. I really like him so it hurt me.
I was up on a telephone pole working, and crying at the same time. Just totally pitying myself. And complaining to God about taking my friend away. And two of the most beautiful birds flew up. Birds never come near us when we are working in the air. I had never seen birds like this before. They were blue like bluejays with red chests and just a little larger then a parakeet. They perched on the phone cable literally within 3 feet of me and stayed with me for about an hour. It was just me and these birds in the middle of no where, up in the sky where I can see everything. It was totally quiet.
It's hard to explain, but I suddenly felt peace about everything. I don't know if anyone can understand. It's probably a "you had to be there" story. But it really meant alot to me.
