✨ A Rare Encounter of Love: Hummingbirds and “White Belly” the Squirrel ✨

This morning, while feeding our “adopted” grey squirrel—who comes to our deck every day and whom my wife fondly nicknamed “White Belly”—I experienced a rare and unforgettable moment of grace.
I sprinkled bread crumbs on the deck and kept making my click-click call, urging White Belly from the far end of the lawn to get onto the deck. Unlike my usual short calls, today I kept it going until he finally climbed the steps.
Just as White Belly stepped onto the deck and picked up a crumb, two hummingbirds suddenly appeared—one from the east, the other from the west. They hovered only a few feet from my face, as if looking right at me, then disappeared into the woods in a flash.
🐦 Hummingbirds are solitary by nature and rarely seen in pairs. In 30 years in Canada, I’ve only seen a single hummingbird visit the Bleeding Heart perennials I planted for them twice. But today, for the first time, a pair appeared together from the left and right, meeting right before my eyes. How rare! To me, it was a miraculous encounter of love.
In that instant, I felt a profound alignment: White Belly below, two hummingbirds above, forming an invisible, inverted triangle right before me. Not a coincidence, but divine timing—a moment that deeply touched my soul.
Yesterday in prayer, I asked the Lord to grant peace and joy to my parents in His presence. Today, two hummingbirds appeared, as if embodying their presence—bringing me comfort and love from Heaven.
🙏 This was an encounter born of love: love for the Creator, love for Nature, and love for my parents now with the Lord. A once-in-a-lifetime moment. 👍✨
And yes, I also heard their other message: “We’re hungry—time to hang up the nectar feeder!” 🌸
