This song makes me think of my mom. She is the best.

Saw God in Two Guardian Angels
Saturday night my husband, 86 year old Mother, and brother attended a wedding for the child of family friends we have known for 50 years. The wedding was a beautiful ceremony and then we were on our way to the festive reception. During dinner - my Mom choked and was not able to breathe. I tried the heimlich maneuver on her with no success. She still was not breathing and became unresponsive - falling to the floor. We called 911. I can not describe the fear and inadequacy of not being able to help her.
The next thing we knew -one of the wedding guests - a fireman, by the name of Shaum, came to our rescue. He successfully performed the heimlich maneuver, however, my Mom was still unresponsive and not breathing. By this time, another wedding guest, Mary, who happened to be a nurse- came to help. They took turns performing CPR on my Mom until the paramedics arrived. She was now breathing and becoming responsive. This man and woman saved my Mom’s life. Even the doctors and paramedics confirmed this and praised both of them. How do you adequately thank someone for something so magnificent?
By the grace of God and these two incredible people - we were able to take my Mom home from the hospital that night and she is recovering well. We will never forget Shaum or Mary. They both are our guardian angels and heroes.

Saw God in a Jar of Marbles
You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years. Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime.
Now stick with me, I’m getting to the important part. It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail, and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in my workshop next to the radio. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and throw it away.
I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight. Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then God has blessed me with a little extra time to be with my loved ones…It was nice to talk to you, I hope you spend more time with your loved ones, and I hope to meet you someday. Have a good morning! Unknown

Saw God in the Little Things
As you might remember, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike due to an auto accident.
One of them missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One’s car wouldn’t start.
One couldn’t get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone …all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself,
This is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment….don’t get mad or frustrated.
It may be just that God is at work watching over you.

Saw God in a Fierce Mother
Saw this brief video and couldn’t help but think how emblematic it is of all mothers looking out for their young.

Saw God Last Mother’s Day
I was at church and missing my youngest grandchildren who lived in another town. A cute little girl and boy came with their parents to church and sat in the pew behind me. The grandparents were in the pew behind me also. Both asked to sit next to their grandma. That brought to mind many memories. After the service was over the priest said “Happy Mother’s Day” to all the mothers present. As we were leaving the little girl said “Happy Mother’s Day Grandma”. When she looked at me I said “I am a grandma also” Her beautiful eyes lit up and she gave me the most beautiful smile and said “Happy Mother’s Day” to you also. She brought sunshine into my heart that morning. I saw God that day in this little girl’s smile and greeting.

Saw God in a First Bubble
My 6 year was chewing a piece of gum today when he accidentally blew a bubble. He was so excited (and surprised) that he let out a huge scream. It was a great sight, his big blue eyes peeking out from behind a pink bubble. He proceeded to blow bubbles all day long.

Saw God in the Bad Moments
Lately my parents have been fighting and arguing a lot, mostly about stupid things. Most of which somehow gets blamed on my brother or me. Being a teenager living in the same house as them—it’s a little hard to just “let it pass by” especially when you’re the one getting caught in the crossfire. Almost every time I hear an argument arise my heart drops and my chest tightens up. I feel like I want to just start crying because all I want is for it to end. However, every time I get in this situation I feel something stronger within me that says ‘You’re not alone.’
When I hear these things within myself I know it’s God. So today I saw God in my heart showing me I can be strong when I am presented with these unwelcoming situations. I realized that God is making me stronger by presenting me with opportunities to be strong. God is not leaving you alone to battle on your own. Instead He’s the one leading the way and the one backing me up.

Saw God in a Care Package
My wife is continuing her recovery from surgery this week. Every day she gets better but it will take a while for her to return to 100%. This afternoon, there was a knock at the door and it was the UPS man dropping off a large, 47 pound box. Inside the box was a feast!! An entire honey ham, two large potato dishes, two rice casseroles, and entire carrot cake and a pecan pie. I found out the package was sent by my co-workers.
My family and I can’t than them enough for their thoughtfulness and generosity!

Saw God in a Snowstorm
A few winter’s ago we had a heavy snowstorm. When I arrived home from work the city snowplow has been by and left a large pile right at the front of my driveway. I wasn’t paying attention, just happy to be home, then I drove right into the middle of the slop and became thoroughly stuck!
I revved back and forth and realized I wasn’t going anywhere. I went and got my shovel and worked at freeing my car as I watched two different neighbors arrive home, and I know they saw me, but they went in their homes ignoring my plight.
At one point in my frustration I looked up at heaven and said, “Dear God, I really, really, really need your help. I’m tired, I’m hungry, I’m frustrated, and I’m stuck, and I can’t leave my car here for the night. Please God I need your help to get out of this mess.”
Not more than 2 minutes later a truck pulled up with a young man and he asked me if I needed any help? Together we dug, put salt for traction and voila, I was able to drive my car up the driveway.
I thanked this young man profusely, and he told me his name was Don, but wouldn’t tell me where he lived so I could send him some cookies. He got in his truck and said, “My wife saw you, then came home and told me to get out here and help you.” Then he drove off.
Did I see God? Yes, through one of his angels. I will always remember how quickly God answered my prayer. And God bless you, Don, whoever you are!
