I hope you saw something of interest! Before I go this morning, I have to tell you a little story. I love to burn smelly candles. I have different ones for different moods. I always light them when I know we are having company or when we want to feel all cosy. I had one of my tin ones lit last night. Its called Winter Wood and smells just like a Christmas Tree Lot, but better. One of the things I do to settle into bed each night is to watch an episode of friends on my iPad. (Todd doesn't like the show, so I save my indulgence for then). I settled in to watch it last night and I kept getting the no-internet message. I thought to myself, that's strange, and remembered when it happened one time before, all I had to do was reset the modem. SO I went downstairs to reset the modem, and wow. I had Left my candle burning! I was so grateful for the fact that my iPad wouldn't work and the prompting to go downstairs to reset the modem. At first I wasn't going to do that, I was just going to read, but my mind kept telling me to go downstairs and reset the modem, until finally it was shouting at me, GO DOWNSTAIRS AND RESET THE MODEM! And so I got out of the warmth of my comfy bed, went downstairs and saw the candle still flickering away burning in the night. Had I not gone down to check the modem I would not have known it was still lit and who knows what could have happened! Promptings of the spirit are special things. You need to always follow them, no matter what. This was a miracle, and I am so grateful I heeded the spirit's voice. Nothing happens by accident.
