One evening, as I pulled into the church parking lot for the Wednesday evening service, I learned an important meeting with our lawyer had been delayed—yet again. This meeting revolved around a sensitive legal matter that had caused me and my family a great deal of anguish. For months, we’d tried to schedule a meeting with legal counsel and, once again, our attempt had failed.
At first I felt irritated and frustrated. But as I walked toward the church, I lowered my head and softly prayed: “OK God, is it a good thing or a bad thing that this is being put off again? I know You will let me know some way, somehow.”
Just as I looked up, I saw perched on the apex of the church roof the most beautiful red-tailed hawk I’d ever seen. I stopped in awe. It seemed so close, so large. Its feathers draped around its head like a robe as the evening sunset cast a pink glow.
