Do you think this is.....

[Mishetta]

.....a sign?

As most of you know, my DM is in the end stages of Bone Marrow Cancer. I'm going to shorten a long story but yesterday I was wheeling Mom out of the hospital in a wheelchair (instead of waiting for hospital transport) & we were talking about how sooooo many people are telling us that they are praying for my Mom. (We so appreciate if those who are reading this have prayed for my Mom, Margo ~ thank you kindly.) Anyway, in a weak moment (I've been having many of those lately), I said "all these prayers being said for you but I don't think Anyone is hearing them..." so here we're standing waiting for the elevator & the door opens & who's standing there but a CATHOLIC PRIEST! (We are of the Catholic Faith.) Hospital was closed to visitors for at least an hour already. I just found it strange that we'd be running into anyone, let alone a Priest at nearly 930pm.

We got to talking & he knows our favorite Priest from our Parish very well (he has also been diagnosed with Cancer recently ) & he knows of our church & all the heartbreak we've faced lately with the scandal of our Pastor ...etc....anyway, this Priest was just so comforting & he spoke so gently, I almost felt that Jesus was speaking through him. (I know...I haven't had much sleep lately & I'm very stressed, I could be imagining everything but none the less it was just such a comforting moment last night.) Do you think that was some sort of "reaching out" so to speak that the Lord above was telling us "I'm here for you" ??? Do I need to see a psychologist? Do I need a vacation?

Here's something I can answer for myself...."do I need all you Dis friends/family right now? Answer: You bet I do!"

Yes, I do!

Do I need to see a psychologist?

Well, not because you were so touched by the priest!

Do I need a vacation?

Of course! (but once again, not because of the priest, just because anyone can always use a vacation

(((((((((((Rose))))))))))) Prayers for you and your Mom

The Lord speaks to me in many ways and one of those ways is through other people.


"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2

I am not deeply religious, but I am very spiritual, and I do believe there was "something" to that chance meeting with the priest. I do hope you gained some comfort from it. I know I would. Prayers and pixie dust for you and your DM.

"Be still and know that I am God"

He works through everything, and I am sure He sent comfort your way last night through this priest.

Prayers and {{{hugs}}}!

 

[binny]

well I think that sometimes God works in mysterious ways and sometimes He slaps us upside the head

So in answer to your question yes I think He was giving you a sign and even if you question it, take comfort where you can find it.

God Bless you!

Yes I do absolutly believe God was talking through this man.

Remember God always gives you answers they just aren't always the answers that you are hoping for, but they are the RIGHT ones.

God knows the suffering your mom is going through and he is preparing her to come home to Him where she will have no pain and be forever happy!

{{{HUGS}}}

There is a bumper sticker in town that I love...it says,

"Why worry, GOD is in control" and its right, God is in control and everything that he does is for a reason (we might not understand his reasons but they are there!)

I love you sweetie!! Please send {{{Hugs}}} to your mom!!

 

[4greatboys]

I too think God sent him to comfort you. I had a few of these during the time my mom was suffering from cancer and right after she died. Quite frankly I think it was the only thing that helped me make it through that time.
Still keeping you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers.

Yes, it is a sign. {{hugs}}

Rose, He is there for you, and we are too. {{Hugs}} and continued prayers for your mom, you and all your family.

I think that was some sort of sign but if I need to interpret that Priest standing there just when I made that comment to be a sign that my Mother nor I have not been abandoned, then I guess whatever helps us.

Dan ~ I sure wish I was as confident as you these days!

Thank you for not making me feel foolish over something that probably was a coincidence!

 

[Disney Doll]

I don't think it was a coincidence at all. I firmly believe that God or our loved ones who have gone before us,send what we need when we need it. I just cannot fathom that people who loved you during their mortal life just "walk away" once their mortal life is over.

Since my in-laws have died, I have had many of those moments where my intuition tells me they were intervening a little.

I cannot say anything else that wasn't said, but I do believe it is a sign. I remember when my mom was sick, my friend gave me a copy of Footprints... it always lead me to remember that even at my lowest times, He is there for me and even carrying me when the times are the toughest {{{HUGS}}}
