And the clouds parted for us in a big way. I am grateful.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 Everyone who saw it to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">a person and tv reports described themselves as being very emotional. I think for many that emotion was a surprise. Reporters cried live on air. There was a togetherness. Many mentions of God.\u00a0 School children screamed with joy and hugged each other.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 It was a gift, like a valentine, a hug from God, for which we knew we were totally undeserved. God was showing us his heart.\u00a0 Complete gratefulness and humility for such a gift.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 Then overnight here in Dallas we had strong storms in the forecast. At 3:00 am, we had a deluge, and I\u2019m using that word on purpose. Heavy, heavy rain, extraordinary lightning that lasted a solid hour.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 I started praying the Divine Mercy chaplet. I wasn\u2019t too scared though because I was still feeling that warm hug from the eclipse, like a hedge of protection.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">There is street flooding this morning in places, but the main focus is still what happened yesterday, and tv reporters are still tearing up when talking about the eclipse.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 I see on Facebook that you all were at an eclipse event too.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 Thanks for reading.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sharon Fritz<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Dallas, TX<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67156\" src=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1.jpg 683w, https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/1-255x340.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"mail,miracles\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1712685116\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Mailbag: Eclipse Emotions\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I just have to share my thoughts after witnessing the eclipse yesterday here in Dallas.
