Hidden Hearts

Perhaps if you are a Disneyland fan, like I am, you have heard of the hobby of looking for hidden Mickeys at the Disney resorts as demonstrated below.



 I have tried my hand at it, but I am not very successful.

I do however have a similar hobby, that I am quite good at.  I find hidden hearts



and when I find them I count them as a sign from my Heavenly Father of His love for me.




There are actually a lot of heart shapes found in nature. Thus supporting, in my mind, the idea that they are symbols of the Creators' love for His children.

This picture of hidden hearts is one of my favorite.



I like to share my hobby with Shad and he is good at helping me find hidden hearts.



Love notes from God, that I save and ponder on.



I especially enjoy finding hidden hearts in the less obvious places.  In a random stick stuck in the Spanish moss used to decorate a crafty service project I am working on,



 in a pile of dirt left behind by a mischievous puppy,



in the abandoned orange peel on my morning walk,


and even in the poopiest moments of life.


God's love is ALWAYS there, and I will see it (and feel it), if I am willing to look for it.

Today I am thankful for

tangible reminders of God's love for all of His children, me included.
good friends.
