Is it really true that our loved ones are able to send us signs through nature when they have passed away? Is it God Himself signaling us that we are on the right, or perhaps, wrong path?
There are many stories that certainly appear to involve a spiritual message from a living/visible source of energy surrounding us. It may present as a butterfly, a cardinal, or a rose showing up at a time when we are in need of some confirmation. Others will hear a certain song come across the radio that tells them a loved one is listening and perhaps communicating that things will work out; or letting us know that they are in a very happy place. It is so fascinating to experience the feeling that we are truly connected to the spiritual world and that this is the only way to concretely visualize a message, with our limited senses in our physical bodies. It seems to be a way of helping us to trust, causing an emotional boost, as well as a physical verification in the form of goosebumps or bringing on a smile of confirmation.
Life Experience: I began seeing signs presented in the form of Cardinals last winter after I had prayed through my grandmother for answers and help in a family situation. Cardinal pictures and statues would turn up in the oddest places, that would make me pause to think that it was a sign she was listening and perhaps working on the situation.
Later that Spring as my dad was living his last days, again the signs of Cardinals began appearing. There were red birds singing outside his window at the nursing home as well as a beautiful concert during his burial in the trees above the gravesite. A male and a female cardinal swooped down in front of my sister's car and flew off in opposite directions as she was driving my mom home after his passing. Another showed up looking into my sister's window. Many have shown up randomly at various places and times that seem to be significant, as a presence that is aware of the happenings on Earth. I was sent a saying from a friend that read: When a Cardinal appears, an angel is near.
