This week has us discussing divine signs.

But probably not the way you're thinking about it.

What if you take a "divine sign" as a reminder that you are loved? That you are of great worth?

And you can choose your sign.

Hearts. Unicorns, Red wagons, Purple trucks. A clock that says 11:11.

Doesn't matter. 

Just use it to remember how deeply loved you are.

Because you are.
