the story COntinued…

When I wrote that song, I did not know anything about the sign, but the Lord provided a way for me to get in touch with Shelley Hayes Caron, who shared with me the story of what God did in her life that led her to put up the little sign. Here she shares the story:

“Fifty years ago my father passed away and I returned to my family home. My father’s estate was heavily in debt. As a result, I needed to sell a portion of the land to pay off what was owed. Well, after eight years, the debt nearly doubled. After one hundred or so real estate brokers, I said, “No more listings. I am going to list my land with God.” So I wrote an ad and placed it in the Los Angeles Times. I only heard from one interested party, but that’s all that was needed. So we saved our hundred and forty year old ancestral home. “Thank You so much, Lord.”

Being a single mom, I needed to work, so the land where the little sign is became an income source for us. God provided again. There was enough money to provide daycare and schooling.

It was when my children were in school that I put up the little sign that says, “Jesus God’s gift of Love.” I was hoping to thank Him for all His many blessings and to bless those that pass by the sign.

I hope, when I get to Heaven, I will meet some of those who were blessed by 'The Little Sign.’”
