There’s more to the Dragonfly story of my last post. Dragonfly memories came flooding back when I entered a charming family owned jewelry shop in Corona, Italy. We had finished our first cooking class of the tour that morning, and the afternoon was spent exploring this very picturesque town. One particular shop, Del Brenna, had been recommended by our hosts, and I was interested to check it out, willing to take home a souvenir if I found something that resonated with me. My eyes were immediately drawn to the dragonfly pendants, and there was resonance! Once again, the dragonfly turned out to be a blessing!
During our last days in Arizona this spring, our thoughts were heavily revolving around our return home. To do so, we would be coming into close quarters with a lot of people at airports, and in the aircraft itself. I thought of the verse from Deuteronomy that says our God rides through the heavens to help us. "Please do so Lord", I prayed, and He did. Later as I was thanking Him, He quietly spoke to my heart, "Linda, I know what you were thinking, and I couldn't resist!"
Just recently I employed the the verse from Deuteronomy once again, this time using our friends’ names: “There is none like God, O Carol and Murray, who rides through the heavens to your help, through the skies in His majesty.” He sent a US Embassy charter to return these Canadians to their homeland from Papua New Guinea. We have more help here for Murray, in a high risk category, if he were to need it in these Covid times. They are now “quarantining” in our basement! We feel blessed to have them.
