In my effort to be positive today, you may have already seen this, but I found this to be the most inspiring thing I can say this morning.
It is a story of a journalist for ABC's 20/20, Kimberly Launier, who was interviewing the parents of a fallen soldier from New Hampshire, Justin Rollin. They were playing with their son's dog, Hero, whose rescue from the Iraq War zone where their son died, was a story all it's own. As she was filming them with the dog, the mother would hug Hero and say, "Justin, are you in there?" It was her way of remembering their son and his last living connection to Hero. At one point, Hero wandered off and took a stroll in their backyard. All of a sudden, the clouds broke and a light began to solidify in a beam directly down on Hero in a kind of vertical halo. When this happened, the mother turned to look at Kimberly, and they both were in astonishment. Kimberly said she couldn't wait to play it back to make sure if her camera caught the stunning beam (which you can see, untouched, not photoshopped above.) When she saw that it did, she was so happy that she burst out dancing, and said it was a great moment to share with Justin's parents. They all laughed and wondered if it was a sign from Justin. I think yes, a sign from God, telling them Justin is with Him, watching from heaven.
I think we're all in the need for signs from above lately...
