I believed the birds to be a sign of possible happiness and yes, that day was the beginning of a new phase of my life. I have rarely seen blue birds in my life and I had never before or after seen any at that location. I felt that they were a sign of assurance.<br /><br />Quite some years ago, a friend told me about a supposed Biblical thing called putting out the fleece. I haven't thought about it again in 43 years, till just now. I needed to make an important decision. She said to pray about it. Decide on something that was unlikely to happen, but if it did happen, it was a sign to resign from my job. I did resign after putting out the fleece. I made the right decision for me, but I can't say that the "fleece" did anything more than speed up the decision...but maybe that was a good thing.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
