Your encounter with the sparrow was wonderful. It truly gives way to your own understanding that Chris would want you to be happy. Think of it as a reflection of your grief. That wayward journey that has brought you to that point in time where your realization has finally taught you that life without Chris will always be difficult but it can also continue on. I myself don’t believe your encounter with the sparrow had anything to do with your thinking that Chris was approving of your knew friend. Jesus told us that the sparrow brings forth God’s reassurance that he is watching over us, “for God always has his eye on the sparrow”. It means that God eyes are watching you, filling you with tenderness, his love, and you are truly cherished, valued and loved beyond anyone’s understanding.
We as people always “think” way too much. God said, “lean not on your own understand” because the mere thought of anything bring “indecision” which will confuse us even more. Homer said, “Good and bad thinking are only based on what is good or bad thinking”. Homer was only saying, “we can and most times will convince are own selves of anything we want to convince are selves of”. All I am trying to say is that if you believe you can move forward and love again then be happy and do that, but don’t think Chris is telling you that he approves or disapproves of you doing that because that will never happen.
Lastly, always remember Chris was blessed to have you as you were blessed to have him and he is still always with you, always looking in the same direction as you! Yes you should continue onward, but bring Chris with you because anyone that will love you must understand that Chris will always be part of both your lives!
What a beautiful post. Thank you for it. I know I can get caught up in my external locus of control, and truthfully, I do sometimes question myself about my tendency to feel as though many things are approved by my Chris. I'm not sure what I believe on a day to day basis; only what I believe in the moment. During that particular moment, I needed to believe that Chris approves in order to let go and allow someone new into my life.
I'm glad I did.
Thank you, again, for sharing your kind thoughts and perspective.
