Onto Them a Child Is Born
And so it is Christmas, and what have we learned? Well for me, I have learned that the longer I am in this business, the more blessings I encounter. For it has been a rough year for a lot of us, they say to look for the miracles and I so believe that if we do in fact look, we will find them. A simplistic hello or a smile can turn an ordinary day into a miraculous one. Every one of us has been there at one time or another.
It’s Monday and what a special Monday it is! Today I received a call from a Miracle; I am not quite certain how you will define your Miracles although I am quite certain that if the booties were on your feet, you would have to agree.
Amy called me this morning looking for pink flowers, she didn’t place her order with me right away, in fact she really needed to check around for pricing, (I suppose) as we do have a minimal charge for the delivery of our miracles. Lol
Anyhow, the phone rang a second time, Lord and behold, it was Amy! A sudden feeling came over me, and not for the placement of an order, it was because “she” called “me” and was willing to put her very important event in my hands. My heart was happy, as I took her order I was to learn that she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been to the doctor and much to her miraculous surprise, she was not having a boy, (now Amy, this does not say much for mothers intuition), although when the doctor told her that it was going to be a girl, all smile broke out, her sky opened up, her sun came out and was shining bright! Pink Flowers? O.K. we can do that.
You see, she would have bet that it was a boy, my only born child is a boy, and boys are great. Although Amy was having a little “Girl”, the first little girl to put her tender ray of shine on this family in 60 years! This event will inspire me for a long time to come, I did not have to see Amy’s face, her voice was sparkling as she spoke, and it was me who had the opportunity to witness. I was told once that every single body that crosses our paths have something to give, and you did Amy, you have given so much to so many today, with your great miracle. I am not at all certain just how everyone would see this, but close your eyes for a moment and put Amy’s shoes on. You could not help but feel this miracle of Christmas. And did I mention that it was Amy’s Birthday yesterday?
Today we are delivering a bouquet of pink flowers to Amy’s mother-in-law, oh happy day mom!
Sometimes the miracles in our lives do not necessarily need to be of our own kind, sometimes it is the mere shadows that whisper past us that have great meaning, they helps us, reinforces us and tell us that they are out there in full force, working there job. Sometime it is the mere hello that changes an ordinary day!
I owned a Flower Shop for 17 years call “ A Miracle On 25th Street” I loved that shop, I have seen so many Miracles come and whisper past me in the years past, today there is a “Miracle On Escher Lane” and may God will bless your family today and always. You must understand that your Miracle has reinforced my knowing. And I do thank you for that. (And your order too…)
So happy birthday Amy, happy holidays, and to all a good night…
