The Daisy Miracle



All my life I loved my earthly father ...
to me he was sweet as any Daddy should be.

Even as a grownup I still called him Daddy.
God on the other hand always seemed
stern and Father only by name.


This is the story of how all that changed.

When my Father died in 1984 my heart broke and I remember standing over his body and praying to God. I asked God to take special care of him ..."after all ..... " I said to God " he is my Daddy the only one I will ever have"
Off my Father's grave I pulled off a Daisy ... it had one stem with 2 equal daisies on it .

When I got home I pressed the daisy in my bible and over the years I would come across it , gaze upon it and shed some tears over the only Daddy I would ever have.


 I would also remember the prayer I said to God there in the Church.
Then in 1988 God filled me with His Holy Spirit .... during this time God wanted to change a lot of things in me. One day the Spirit spoke" Kathy go get your Bible".  As I opened the Bible the Daisy fell out ... One of the 2 daisies on the one stem was gone and had fallen off.
" What is it you see Kathy ?" asked God.


 I answered " Lord one flower is gone.... and one flower remains."


"No .... " said the Lord " one father is gone one father remains."

A flood of love poured in my heart and a new thought (not mine) came in. That God is my Daddy as well. From that moment on I realized God as my real Daddy and my heart bore that realization it to full bloom. God is my Daddy totally and completely now .... and He is sweeter than any earthly father could be.

How I wept that day to take to my heart the Love God wanted me to have so badly. How he worked hard and gave me this gift as a pure kindness .... God is no longer stern anymore....for what stern God would take the time to explain a flower to me ?

Thank You Daddy.
