What is an Orange Moment?
An orange moment, for me, is something placed in my path, without explanation, that provides HOPE and reminds me of Tristan, my 11-year-old son, who went to Heaven on January 19, 2017. At first I called them “signs”. These signs became more meaningful to me when they involved something orange (Tristan’s favorite color). I started to call them “orange moments”.
Example: I attended a retreat in November 2017 and all the participants received a gift. Gifts were pre-packaged and all wrapped the same. All of us received a book, a bracelet, a pair of socks, etc. My bracelet had orange crosses. ORANGE! They were handed out randomly and since they were wrapped, no one would have known that the one placed in front of me would have been the one with an orange bracelet. There were only 2 bracelets with orange crosses that were made for that retreat and I received one of them.
Here’s to YOUR orange moments, may they lift you up and remind you that God is always near.
