Beautiful Letter "S"

This evening I was driving home from the Post office in Wheaton, MD. I stopped at a red light at the intersection of Reedie Drive and Georgia Avenue. I looked up at the sky and could not believe what I was looking at. As clear as could be, the sky was cloudy and in the middle of it was an illuminated “S”. I blinked and refocused, it was still there bold and clear. I snapped two photos of it but only one saved to my phone. I felt inspired by it. My research pulled up that the letter S represents inspiration. It is the 19th letter of the alphabet. The numbers1 and 9 represent new beginnings and endings; taking and giving in the sense of compromise--divine order comes forth when the common good is worked for and conflict is resolved; progressing by understanding ourselves and learning from our past experiences.

Self-Acceptance is a great lesson from the number 19. Funny, S the 19th letter of the alphabet yielding important lessons of Self-Acceptance and inner peace. When you determine to erase your past mistakes, you can “develop [your] their true Spiritual character with unshakable faith and a philosophy that will sustain [you] them.”

This event moved me today. Who, doesn’t need a little inspiration, success, and spiritual uplift? If it lifted my spirit, it could do the same for all the residents of Wheaton, MD, Montgomery County, and all of the DC-VA-MD area.
