My husband and I both grew up in Illinois where the State Bird is the Cardinal and our favorite baseball team is the ELEVEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS. Guess you could say we’re fans!

Several years ago God used a Cardinal of a different sort to remind me of His presence and to comfort my heart. My oldest was away at college and I found myself fretting over the “what if’s” of life. I was driving along a country road on the way home from a friend’s house, praying for my son, pleading with God to protect him.
