Thoughts, and prayers, are very powerful, for positive or negative. A relative keeps saying, "(This and that) will never happen to me." I tell her, "If you keep saying that, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy & then it probably won't." (Like Proverb 23:7--"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.") After one of my mom's birds passed away, she and our other bird were so sad, and me too. I went to the pet shop that let's all its birds be free until bedtime (when the cage tops are put over their perches). I wasn't going to adopt, just to look. In my mind, I wanted another bird to adopt, but it didn't feel right because we were still mourning the other bird. But felt drawn there. As I just walked around looking at them, one little bird jumped on my arm and wouldn't leave me. So, I couldn't leave without him. I still have him and he's my baby now that my mom moved on to Heaven. God brought him into our lives and am so grateful.😇❤️🐣
