E077-Recycling Strength Through Others

“Many times, someone's strength becomes recycled through another.”
My daughter, Billie, and I, spend a lot of Saturday mornings together. December 5, 2015, was one Saturday morning that felt extraordinarily special to both of us!
We began holding hands together after breakfast, in my sunroom, watching hummingbirds through the windows as the sunshine was beaming down on us.

We were sitting shoulder to shoulder on this mild, December morning talking about memories and our hopes for the future.

There were moments that we were laughing until tears were streaming down our faces! Other moments, our hearts filled up with sadness as we reminisced about the losses of Loved ones we had experienced over the years.

I have always Loved to feed and watch birds of all kinds. These hummingbirds were keeping us quite entertained, as they hovered up against the feeder, which hung for them outside of my sunroom.

I must admit that I was basking in the sunshine, entertainment of the hummingbirds but most of all, the Love that Billie and I share together. For a moment, I felt as if Billie and I were the only Mother and daughter in the world.

Billie and I have been soulfully connected all of her life, and this beautiful morning provided our hearts with confirmation of that fact.

The most significant and memorable moment of this morning spent with Billie, was experiencing so much pleasure out of admiring God’s beautiful creatures, obtaining the sustenance that they needed to continue entertaining us!

God had decorated these hummingbirds with multiple colors of brilliance! Nature allowed these hummingbirds to produce an elaborate, private, musical composition for us as the feathers of their wings and tails simultaneously, vibrated against the air.

Occasionally, I would put a small amount of extra pressure from my hand onto Billie's, and it melted my heart while adding an extra beat to it. My Motherly hand had continued to effortlessly, embrace my daughter's. I could feel the strength of her Love, constantly, being recycled through my veins.

God blessed Billie and me with this glorious morning together, having fellowship in the presence of His pulchritudinous creations. God blessed us both with the best "Mother and daughter" relationship in the entire world! I was made to be Billie's Mother! Billie was made to be my daughter!
Being able to live this life having, Loving, and knowing the definition of what being a Mother to beautiful daughters means, is one of the greatest gifts that God has ever blessed me with.

I am eternally grateful to God for His blessing of the gift of knowing how to share a Mother’s Love, friendship, kindness, wisdom, tenderness, strength, and understanding with Billie, and all of my daughters.
Thank you, God, for your blessing and the miracle of my family! Hey Hallelujah!

Can you feel the strength of someone else being recycled through you?
