Cardinal Story on Mothers Day
...a loving lady named Sherri shared it on the FB page We Love Birds.... Mr. Cardinal hit a window, landed on ground gasping for air & she picked him up and massaged his chest until he perched on her finger long enough to get some pics then flew away. She said it was a spiritual experience.

Praying for Precious Halle
I just love how people, places and things are put into my path the way they do..... as if they were meant to be. New friendships are formed and bonds that touch the soul.
(picture from "Praying for Precious Halle" FB Group, posted by Jennifer - its a real picture - a cardinal cloud)
FB (Facebook) has a way of bringing long lost friends back together and new ones to light. In this story I'm about to mention, its both of the above. A long lost friend from high school has been touched by all the cardinals I post on my personal FB page. It didn't take her long to find my LRB Chirps FB page. Then, coincidentally she started seeing local stories on her FB page and around her town about a lady who lost her 10 year old daughter and then she reached out to me to share these amazing occurrences.
May 22, 2013 I was going to paraphrase what my friend Melissa shared with me but I felt she wrote it all so beautifully that I decided to just cut and paste it here:
Melissa has since shared my story and my FB page with Tammy ("Praying for Precious Halle" mom) and I too have reached out to her and joined her "Praying for Precious Halle" FB Group. It's amazing to connect with others who experience these divine signs from above, comforting us and strengthening our faith in God and the life that goes on when we leave this earth. Experiencing these signs bring us pure joy and comfort but because they are so random and its not just about the physical act of seeing them, its that feeling we get inside where we just "know" it's a gift from above, we still wonder if its real. Making these kind of connections confirms our gifts and make them more real. They take away any doubts..... because the more who receive the more real it has to be - right?
We need to start a Cardinals of Love club ~ what do you think?

Hi Jennifer!.....................I have noticed in the past that you post pictures of cardinals but never knew much about it but when I saw your recent one I could not help but comment because of what is going on around here (I live in Spring Hill, TN now which is about 30 miles south of Nashville). It all started about two months ago when a precious 10 year old girl in our community, who was absolutely healthy and athletic got sick with the flu and it attacked her heart and she developed myocarditis. She went into cardiac arrest and was brought back. For 2 weeks she fought for her life. A friend of this girl's family started a Facebook page for people to pray. People around here also put red bows on mailboxes all over this community to symbolize prayers for a healed heart. But as her mom says "God takes the best" and He did take her home and healed her perfectly so she was not in any more pain. Ever since her death on April 5 many people in this community feel as though their faith has become stronger because of this little girl. I did not know the family or this precious girl but feel like I have gotten to know them through their Facebook page "Praying for precious Halle". She was a very caring little girl who would befriend anyone, and for being only 10, she was vocal about being a Christian. About a month before her death she had written a paper about "If I could meet one person" and her person was God and that she had alot of questions for him. And many people were imagining her in heaven asking him all her questions.
I wanted to support this family so I joined the page and then found myself wanting to post on the page but was a little weary of what to say since I cannot say I've experienced the death of a child and also because I did not know this family personally. One morning I was stewing about whether to post on her page or not and I looked out a small window upstairs in our house and all I could see sitting on a branch was a beautiful red cardinal looking right at me and "talking" to me and cocking it's head as if to say "go ahead and tell the family what you want to say - why wouldn't you?" Being that it was a red bird too as that was the color of this girls bows I took that as a sign to reach out and so I did. I was surprised that this grieving mother replied back saying that she had been visited by a cardinal too. This little girls mother started seeing her cardinal more and more and believing it was a sign from her little girl letting her know she was OK. The cardinal even came once when she was sad and had called for it to come. Many people started posting their cardinal stories around here that had some kind of link to Halle. One person had a cardinal fly in front of their car after they had dropped off dinner to this grieving family. I had a second encounter with a cardinal myself - I had made this family dinner just this Friday night and on Sunday I went to McDonald's to get breakfast for my kids. When I got to the drive thru window the person in the car in front of me had paid for it (a red car too!). Then as I was driving out the parking lot to the road a cardinal flew in front of me and landed in a nearby tree and looked right at me. I think it was sent from God/Hale to say thank you for making her family dinner and by the way I've taken care of your breakfast! It just gave me goosebumps! Alot of people are saying they have not really noticed cardinals before and now all this activity! The best was yesterday when Halle's mom prayed specifically that if these cardinals were a sign from God/Halle that she is OK and happy up in heaven then to let her hold a cardinal. She figured what were the chance of that happening? Well they have a mischievous cat that only Halle could tolerate and has done nothing but lay around since her death. That cat went out and caught a cardinal (of all birds) and brought it to Halle's mom! The bird was not hurt but to save it she had to get it out of the cat's mouth and hold it! Such an unbelievable occurrence - her very specific prayer was answered and now she has felt more peace. Some great pictures of cardinals people have taken and these stories are all on her Facebook page "Praying for precious Halle" which is an open community page. Someone even posted a link to a page about the cardinal experience which has been very interesting to read. So why is the cardinal important to you?

Dignity Entertainment Loves LRB
My Little Red Bird FB page is making so many wonderful connections..... a most recent is Dignity Entertainment and its producer Mikkel Juel Iversen. The purpose is to inspire the world with positivity..... with that I AM A TRUE FAN!! It is people like this that help make big differences in this world. Thank you Mikkel for taking an interest and loving our LRB enough to share this story (below) to the world!
A little red bird flew to my side during the darkest moment of my life - when I got the news that my sister had just lost her life.
I was standing outside in the breezeway of my home - lost in grief when LRB landed on the shrub right in front of me. He took my breath away - he was such a vibrant sight. For a moment , just a moment, my pain disappeared.
The very next day I flew to Texas to prepare for my beautiful sisters wake. As I was driving down the main road to the funeral home i couldn't believe what was flying right next to me. Not one, but two beautiful cardinals - racing me to the home.
LRB was just the beginning to the many signs and synchronicities that showed me that there is more after this life and there is more all around us.
I started a blog in honor of my Mary, because despite the fact that she made a spontaneous thoughtless decision to end her life on earth, she was an AMAZING light of love. Her light shined wherever she was - always had our entire life. I was 3 years older than her and was blessed to be her star (as she would always call me - silly sis). I did no wrong in her eyes - as well as everyone else to her. She loved you before she knew you - it was in her DNA. If you knew what happened to her the last couple years of her life, and what happened the day her life ended, you may possibly understand. I do.
As I was blogging to my Mary, amazing things started happening - signs were EVERYWHERE. So, I began to blog the amazing occurrences one by one, so as my faith grew and confirmations occurred that my sister was still here and very much with me, my grief lessened and hope prevailed. My LRB kept appearing at crazy places and special times (along with making a home in my backyard), making her appearance to me along with fun synchronicities! I giggle just thinking about her.
I'm okay today. I get sad as I miss her physical presence, with that amazing Mary smile that lit up every room she entered and the loving energy she always radiated to everyone in her contact.
I found that sharing my Mary's story has given so many people hope and with that and a soft nudge from above, LRB was born!
I wish to reach anyone and everyone in need of some hope and touch their hearts with a sweet picture, an inspiring quote, affirmation, thought or story all as a reminder to them that's its okay - it's all going to be okay. Life's greatest pains can bring the most enlightening answers to life's biggest questions. I wish to inspire with my experiences, strength & hope. I want this to be a place for other LRB recipients to be able to confirm what the hope the LRB is.... A sign from above!! I'm finding there are MANY out there!
Without struggle we'd have no butterflies.....
Through adversities we will shine!

More Little Red Bird Connections
A sweet LITTE RED BIRD connection - oh how I cherish these. There are so many of us now. So many of us who receive these signs of love from above. There is something really special when we find each other. It is just another confirmation that these amazing signs are for real. I know there is always a little doubt in the back of our minds but we hold onto the positive thought that of course it is real! Together we are strong - together we confirm! Our Little Red Bird is not just a song...... oh no, not just a song at all.
An angel, a messenger, a sign.... our loved ones are not far - they never are!
Here's a most recent story that was just sent to me through my Little Red Bird Chirps facebook page (notice the picture below - same picture I have had here on my blog - it is Lydia's profile picture on her FB page):
- Lydia Guajaca Saiz
hello there, I found your page on fb through a friend. Just a quick story for you..my father was diagnosed with cancer in 2001. Shortly before he passed away, i asked him to send me a sign that he had arrived in heaven and to give me peace. I asked him to send me a "red" bird. We don't see too many in NM. About a month after he passed away, my sister found a nest with "red" birds under her patio that dad had built. Since that time, I carry a fondness for red birds. It was so nice seeing the ones on your page. Thanks!
Feel free to use my story. I'm sorry for you losses as well. I have since lost my mother and I have several red bird figurines around my house. It was interesting because when I was asking my father to send me a sign, he said he would send a white bird, I said no send a red one because as I stated before we don't see them too often. I believe in signs from above. Be blessed my new friend.

A Cardinal Story
I receive many sweet e-mails through my Little Red Bird Chirps FB Page that make my day and bring a smile to my heart.... I love it when someone sends a little red bird experience during a time in need.
Here is a most recent story from an LRB friend on 9/26/12:
Kenneth James R.
I finally read the profile and checked out the link. It was so touching . I just came back from Fla. because my father in law has cancer and is doing bad. Every morning I would hear a bird knocking on the glass window but I never got up to see it. I finally got up and looked and to my surprise it was a female cardinal.(and I love those birds.) It was sad leaving him because he said to my wife this will be the last time we will see him. I read your profile after we came home last week and told my wife. Maybe God uses these beautiful birds as messages of peace?
I share a link to this blog in the profile of Little Red Bird for anyone wanting to know more about how our little red bird became so important. We connect and we share, to heal and to confirm - we are not alone!

Cardinal Christmas Story
On Christmas night, a new FB fan of Little Red Bird shared a sweet cardinal story with me. I just love how all these Mary's & Jen's are coming into my life. My sweet sister Mary had a fun sense of humor. I'm sure these Mary's & Jen's are no coincidence. He-he

Mary Blanton Hutslar:
:) Everything happens for a reason! My grandfathers CB handle was Red Bird and when I got up Christmas morning there was red bird and squirrel sitting together in the tree above my door. I was tagging the picture and found your page. Thank you for all the beautiful memories it has brought to me tonight!

Little Red Bird Cardinal Signns

Kelly Beck Lund:
Red birds remind me that my Grandma is close by even though she is in heaven I know her spirit and guidance is near. I love you lil red bird.
Jodi Gregor:
Looks like the one I saw when I had my dream about my dad who passed less than 6 months ago. My son saw one in the tree staring at him last weekend. It then flew towards the window at us and then flew away. I love these beautiful signs that God allows my dad to give us. Thanks for sharing!!

Little Red Bird Signs Everywhere

I hear you in the morning, I see you in the tree, the weather doesn't matter, you're always with me! What a loyal little bird you are ~ never really far! All i do is wish for you & then you appear..... my ANGEL in disguise! ~LRB Chirps
Since "Little Red Bird" has been formed in Facebook, I'm receiving so many little chirps back to me how our Little Red Bird is very special and significant to so many others. Signs of Love from Above from those we lost. How comforting it is to hear and to connect to these wonderful souls. I thought another blog post was due to share the love here with you too:

My FB friend Sally Parris wrote to me:
My Mom loved her Red Bird & she visits me often..
My MOM's favorite birds were the hummingbirds and cardinals.... she talked to her Red Bird and i swear he listened, and when he visits me i talk to him and i know she hears me
My FB friend Mary Kinzler receives electrical signs:
..... I have Lost a lot of Friends & my Mother at the age of 12, They also show me they are there ♥ most of my 'signs' are electrical :)
A FB Little Red Bird fan Penelope Lillie shared:
I love this one I think of my mom who passed away she is now my mom bird....xo
A FB Little Red Bird fan Jobear Dumas shared:
my little sister sends me little red birds and now that they don't seem to live here in the desert they still appear I saw one at Target in a snow globe, then the little red bird on facebook, then another fake one on a branch in a store even on the weekly circular advertising Christmas card. She's gotten quite creative in sending me little red birds in unexpected places.

Messengers for Everyone

Cardinals are special to me as they remind me of my Mother. Once she passed, there has always been one singing or crossing my path on a walk. ~~Mandy T (FB post)
I have special doves! The other day there were two doves sitting with their backs to me on the back of the glinder in my yard. One dove streached out one wing and fluffed it out and wrapped it around the other dove! I couldn't belivee what I saw. I had my husband come out on the porch and whatched the dove do it again. When I told this to my daughter, she said, " Mom it was God giving me a hug"! ~~Joyce W (FB post)
I had a similar experience with a butterfly when my Mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She passed away almost 1 year ago and I always get a visit from a butterfly. The other day on my way into my car I found a butterfly charm just laying on the ground in front of my door. She always sends me signs... Butterflies♥ I also believe the cardinal bird is a messenger for you xoxox ~~The Social Butterfly (FB post)
