A Most Welcome Visitor

One sunny afternoon, my wife and I were relaxing in the chairs on the back porch of our new home and enjoying the peaceful view. We could see the Deep Run Lake, which adjoins our property, just beyond the trees. Then with a quiet fluttering of wings, to our left, and much to our surprise, a pure white bird about the size of a dove, flew in, landed and settled itself on one of the rails of the nearby fence. The beautiful white bird just sat there looking at us and all around for at least twenty minutes, then it flew up, past the green leaves of the trees, away and out of our sight.
We have lots of birds that gather here to eat from the bird feeders on the edge of our porch. But, this is the first time we’d ever seen a pure white bird like that. It’s presence made us think it must be an angel from Heaven in the form of a bird. Why did we think that? Let me explain.
Back in October of last year Hurricane Sandy caused our waterfront home to be flooded with over four feet of water. The inside of the house and everything in it was water soaked and ruined. With the help of our family, we cleaned up the mess and threw out just about everything.
We thought we’d dry the house and then move back in, but within a couple of weeks we saw mold growing in the walls. We used dehumidifiers to try to control and get rid of the mold, but it kept on spreading. Mold spores, we learned, can cause people to get sick and have lung problems.
Eventually, we decided to just move out and live somewhere else. After living with our daughter and her family for five months, we found an affordable house in Cream Ridge, NJ, about 25 miles inland from our old washed out waterfront home in Toms River.
Now, we are quite comfortable here and we constantly praise the Lord for making what seemed like a disaster at the time of the hurricane, to actually be a blessing. This new place is comfortable, it is on a small lake and all of the appliances were included as well as lots of nice furniture that the previous owner sold to us for a very low price. Our new home is in a small retirement community (called Deep Run) and everything we need is nearby.
Since we are Christians, we believe the visit of that white dove-like bird was God’s way of sending one of his angels to look at us here in our very comfortable new home. Then, as the beautiful white angel flew away, we are sure it flew back to the Lord with a report that Terry and Doris Weber now have a good place to stay and – as two of his favorite kids – we’d stay here, in his care, for the remainder of our lives here on Earth.
