I find such a deep sense of solace in this idea. I know this is true. I’ve seen it too many times.
Years ago all doors closed in my life so that I had nowhere to live except one place…dad’s house. (My mother passed when I was thirteen after a long illness.) My relationship with my father was a challenging one so the idea of living with him was not particularly high on my list. I had been having very profound spiritual experiences for years at this point, and although my feelings toward my dad had softened, I still didn’t want to live with him. I felt like this was backward move and was very perplexed by it.
One day, not too long after moving with him, I was sitting on the sofa alone feeling deeply puzzled by my situation and whispered aloud, “Why am I here?”
The inner Voice that I had come to hear so clearly answered calmly, “You are here for a reason.” A deep sense of peace and trust washed over me. This was all I needed to know.
I went about decorating dad’s house over the next couple of months. We shopped together, and baked pies, cakes and cookies together. We laughed together and actually talked a bit. (Well, I talked and he just didn’t leave the room.)
Soon after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I lived at his bedside and read him letters that I wrote to him late at night. I sang songs to him (much to his dismay I’m sure). And even though at one point the doctors said he was unresponsive, I could feel him communicating with me in a way he had never been able to do. Other people who entered the room with us made comments about the peace they felt. Our relationship was utterly transformed. He went from a man who I hated at one point to one whom I adored beyond measure. And still adore.
He passed with his family around him and me whispering in his ear, but he’s never left. I awoke the next morning and could hear him singing sweetly to me deep within, “My daughter. My spiritual sister. My friend. I didn’t understand the importance of what you do but I do now. You helped me more than you can understand right now. Now I’m here to help you.”
There are no mistakes however much we might not understand sometimes.
Such a sweet love story between you and your dad! God works in mysterious ways!🙌

Enjoy these every day, and my 7 year old granddaughter has become mini PSP. She absolutely loves the book and has shown and read it to everyone. Just a note–shouldn’t this be BREATHE, not BREATH?
