For older adults who’ve seen many chapters of life unfold, these simple reminders carry deep weight. A hummingbird may be small, but its presence lingers long after it’s gone.
What to Do If a Hummingbird Visits You
If a hummingbird appears near your home, don’t brush it off. Instead, pause and take a moment to reflect:
- Is there someone you’ve been missing?
- Are you going through a time of transition or healing?
- Do you need a little encouragement or hope?
You don’t need to believe in spiritual messages to feel moved. Sometimes, the right sign comes at the right time—and all we have to do is notice it.
If you feel called to, say a quiet thank-you. Maybe even plant a flower they love, like bee balm or salvia, to welcome them back.
And if you believe that these visits mean something deeper? Let that belief bring you peace. That’s reason enough.
A Visitor With a Gentle Message
As we grow older, we often become more aware of the small things. A well-timed phone call. A kind word from a neighbor. A hummingbird at the window.
Each of these moments can hold meaning—if we let them.
So the next time a hummingbird comes to visit your garden or hovers by your porch, take a breath. Watch it. Smile.
It might just be there to say:
“You’re not alone. Love still surrounds you. And joy is still possible.”
