Have you noticed any Godwinks?

I have been more diligent in journaling over the last couple of years.

I started during Covid when like many of us, I lost my job and was forced to stay indoors, and the only thing on TV and the internet was how many people were dying.

I needed to keep track of my own health - physical and mental and I thought that journaling and getting things out, even though I did not know how to process all of it, was the best medicine for me.

One of the ways I was able to reconcile with what was going on was to journal my blessings, however big or small, every day.

When I became aware of how blessed I was, I became more blessed.

I was sharing this with my husband and family and they started to do the same.

It was like we became lean mean miracle-making machines.

I still journal today but I look specifically for those things that happen that I know God is sending me a message, and giving me a wink, that he is there and knows what I need.

Do you know that song that comes on the radio with the right message at the right time?

Or that time we were fishing with the kids and ran out of minnows, even though they saw some by a culvert we were walking by, if only we had a small net.

Then one of them was playing in the leaves nearby and viola a net!

Or the time I was out walking and got distracted by all of the blessings around me and did not realize how dark it had gotten.

I really needed a flashlight, then reached in my pocket and there was a small flashlight.

I have no idea where it came from and why it was in my pocket, other than a Godwink.
