Beautiful words, beautiful heart, beautiful soul, thank you Naomi. I am not surprised that you are graced with God’s miracles, for you are a mighty warrior for God and for God’s truth.
Jesus said, John 8:31-32 (ESV) to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Those who know the truth are free, because we will never be the minions of Satan, and we will always dwell in the light of Almighty God the Father and that of the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ whose Holy Spirit dwells within us.
Those who live, write, and speak the truth as we know it in our hearts, are doing God’s work, even if we are vilified, demonized, mistreated, hated and yes some are even killed. We should all remember to look up to see the light of our Creator rising upon the mountains, as shown to Naomi by God and so eloquently revealed to us here.
I will continue to pray for God’s protection for the many truth tellers and their families, famous or ordinary, who are fighting evil and standing for God and for humanity.
This is profound enlightenment: simplicity to be found in the love of a little dog and the devotion to him as he passed, combined with the majesty and power and intense meaning of the symbolism to be found in the natural world around us and the synchronous interplay of that symbolic signalling as we attempt to find meaning in this crazy world apparently afflicted by insurmountable evil.
This article about Mushroom described my feelings exactly. We lost our little 16 year old Yorkie one year ago and we both still miss her beyond words. She was our little girl and brought such happiness and joy to our lives. She was healthy and doing well until one day a seizure overtook her. She rallied and seemed to be OK, but 3 days later she had another one which caused her to lose her sight. She was already almost deaf, so she became a little lost soul. She wandered around aimlessly not knowing where she was going. I held her as long and as much as I could, but we realized it was time to end her suffering. We had a Vet come to our house, and as I held her in my arms she was given some drops in her mouth that put her to sleep. Once she was completely asleep the Vet administered the shot to stop her heart. I cannot describe the heartbreak my husband and I felt. It was the hardest thing we have ever done. We kissed her and said goodbye to her until the Vet took her little body to the crematory. We now have her ashes, and it makes me feel like she is still with us I a way. When the Vet walked out the door, my husband and I wrapped our arms around one another and sobbed uncontrollably for a long time. I like to think that our little Abby is now in heaven with her other doggie friends, but here on earth it is so lonely and heartbreaking without her. I still cry often and would give anything to have her back with us again. Some day we will find another dog to love, but it is too early for us to do right now. Those who have loved and lost a loving dog know exactly how painful this experience can be. I love you Abby and I miss you with all my heart. My tears are flowing again.
I have a 13 year old precious dog that is sleeping in his bed, as I write this. I walk him two or three times a day, and love him so much. We communicate so well. He understands. I sing to him quietly every night before I get in bed. He sleeps in his bed on the floor beside me. I touch him, and sing a song like I did my babies. I see the stress of the day leave his little body, as he closes his eyes to dreamland. Oh how much feeling and love our dogs hold for us. Your story made me cry. I lost my other dog 5 years ago, and we all grieved terribly in our home. It is like losing part of yourself. He is your family and will always part of your soul.
God sent you the rose and the light on the mountain. There are NO coincidences. We are only visiting Earth on our journey back to God and Heaven. Earth is a course of Life 101. God is not too busy. He is always with you, and so are His angels. Listen to the book “Seven Lessons from Heaven” on Audible by Mary ? I love the narrator . An Orthopedic surgeon wrote it. She did not have much faith. Never thought about it. She died in a kayak. She went to Heaven and came back. She’s not a hack . I have read many such books. This one is it. I have a tremendous amount of faith. God has the plan. We have the choice. Mushroom is with God, just as you dreamed. Heaven is amazing and a big place.
Yes, dear Naomi, God is saying, “look at Me! I’m actually here!”
God bless you for writing - we’ve just had to say good bye to our old darling boy cat Pudding - so I really understand. And God has given you some wondrous blessings through this time. He had promised to never leave us or forsake us, and He won’t!
Our little Ebony, a rescue that saved us 15 years ago, went to the rainbow bridge two years ago.. she too loved to walk across the bridge along the creek .. fresh tears flowed along with your.. thank you for sharing
I cried as I read this and am crying as I am writing this. About the same time as this article was written I lost my beloved cat - inoperable cancer. We did do precisely what the author did not do, took her to the vet to put her down. And I had exactly the same qualms and the sense of guilt that the author describes. I executed my beloved pet who didn’t have a mean bone in her body and never did me any wrong. My grief was so intense and lasted for such a long time that it was embarrassing to share with other people. But it does feel comforting that I am not the only one.
Yes, I know that miracles happen. I experienced miracles when my parents died. With my mother, it was a flock of green parrots that landed on the magnolia tree outside her house and covered all of it up. This was in California where parrots are not native. With my father, it was a voice that said in my head: “Grace to you from Lord the father and his son Jesus Christ.” I am Jewish also having grown up in an athesit family and atheist country, never having read the Bible and not being familiar with this phrase. As soon as I heard it, I felt an immediate sense of relief and total peace and lightness. It was miraculous - an internal miracle.
To add to this, I also had a miraculous light experience when I was in a dark place and asked God to show me a miracle. I was looking at the see and the sky that became illuminated. These were not the colors of this Earth. They were too brilliant and saturated.
Today my beloved father-in-law died. I am so glad I was brought to this article. It ”hit the spot.” Thank you for being reminded of miracles on this day.
I have tears in my eyes reading your lovely reflection. You write with so much truth and beauty--thank you for expressing that gift so eloquently--it was a gift to me to read it. And I believe that these were absolutely miracles ---the best kind of miracles--intimate, personal, meant just for you right when you needed it most. The fact that others might not understand or be able to see it as a miracle makes it even more personal and profound. Mother Mary and roses -- that kind of miracle has happened a lot in many different ways---just check out the remarkable story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Roses are her very sweet specialty. :-) And the other miracle ---seeing that lovely thread of gold on the mountains and laughing at the realization that God's got this impossible situation covered---no problem---that is also a lovely, perfect, personal miracle. And it also blessed me because, of course He does, He is God after all. But it is hard to see that sometimes, especially lately when the world seems to be falling apart at the seams.
Just one more thing, to answer your question. You know how Peter was a long-time professional fisherman when Jesus asked Peter to follow Him and become a "fisher of men?" The invitation came with a miracle that melted Peter's heart and brought him to his knees and cemented his future as the "rock" upon which Jesus built His church. You know what that miracle was? A net full of fish. I can just see his friends questioning him about it. So, let me get this straight, Peter. You're a fisherman-- you've done this all of your life, you know what to do, right? So, Jesus told you to cast your net into the sea. You did that and caught a lot of fish, right? And that's a miracle?
But it was a miracle, a personal miracle, because of what it meant to Peter---feeling like a failure, out all night having caught nothing, tired and aching, probably needing to pay bills and not making enough to do it, feeling overwhelmed maybe? So Jesus says, come follow me and I will fulfill your all of your needs.. Maybe he was thinking about Isaiah 55:2? Why spend money on that which is not bread and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Whatever else it was, it was a personal miracle, a message as well as a gift, something that meant the world to Peter and changed his life.
Those are the best kinds of miracles in my opinion! God is so good!
I am so sorry for your loss.
And I am very grateful that you've shared your miracles! :-) Thank you!
Like you, I never knew much about Mary. But recently I listened to an audio recording “Untie The Strong Woman” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes (author of Women Who Run With The Wolves) in which Estes talks about her quest to learn more about Mary. By the time I finished listening to the full recording, I had a deeper appreciation and understanding of Mary, and I now think that she has a strong compassionate presence on Earth. I was also interested in hearing Estes description of the Black Madonna who accompanies you into dark places and stands with you in the place where chances are taken. https://www.soundstrue.com/products/untie-the-strong-woman
Naomi - You've been pushing and continue to push all the satanic social agendas your entire life (homosexuality, abortion, feminism) and this is the reason humanity finds itself in a morass. You will also be held culpable before God.
True love knows no boundaries, holds no grudges, seeks to uphold rather than put down and looks always for the good in all things. Judge not lest ye be judged.
My best friend Tucker got a very bad eye disease 3 years ago. Eventually after treating him every day for a year with ointments and eye drops the vet advised; either ending his life or removing his eyes. Ending his life was totally not an option, and the thought of my best pal without eyes, and me having to make that call... I had a nervous brake down, but had to regain my composure as his life depended on me... besides being my best friend, Tucker has become a constant inspiration to me. Watching him every day, navigating, memorizing locations, exploring, living his best life... it suddenly occurred to me one day; Tucker is more aware of life than I have ever been, eyes and all...
This brought a tear to my eye because we recently lost our dog of almost 14 years. Its like cutting your heart out. How beautiful that you asked the Blessed Mother to watch over your precious dog. She answers all prayers. I have always felt a connection to Mary but during the last 2 years I have been constantly asking for her help in protecting my children and all the children being affected by this evil vaccine plan. The rose in the river is so interesting because a couple years ago I went to the Women's Portrait Gallery in DC to see their exhibit, "Images of Mary" and it was so interesting to learn that she is often pictured with roses. I think if you ask for help, as you did, you will get an answer if you are open to seeing it.

Mother Mary offers the blue rose of truth ….. she is the one who has her foot on the serpents head 😁🙏😘
