An unexpected gift

I had a very pleasant surprise today!

I went for a quick swim downstairs; just floating and lazing around in the empty pool.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, go under.

Water gushes into your ear, engulfing you, swallowing you.

Move your arms, kick your legs, reach the surface.

There was no one there so I could swim float dance jump swish in the pool without a care.

I took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the pool.

When I emerged, I saw 3 white flowers floating on the water near me!

They were definitely not there before I went underwater..

Pretty flowers, floating by, filling the blue pool with their beauty.

I knew that it was a gift, a special gift :)

I swam to collect them and put them beside the pool. 

They were warm to touch, as if they had just fallen from the sky.

Well in a way, they did fall out of the sky.

This takes the act of giving flowers to a WHOLE new level.  

Thank you for the flowers, God.

I cannot tell you how much this means to me.

And how God knows when and how to cheer you up when you need..

In ways.. maybe in little ways. But meaningful ways, nonetheless.

'You're not forgotten.You're beautiful, you're worth it. I am thinking of you.'
