Something weird

I met a friend for a quick lunch yesterday. The cost of my lunch was $6.16. This morning when I came out of the bathroom to see what the cat had knocked over in the bedroom, it was 6:16. I know this thread is more about time and I’ve chosen to add palindromes to the mix, but I think it is the same idea.

I don’t know if there is anything weird about it. I think we just notice what we want to notice, we notice when something is meaningful on some level to each of us. That is why I notice palindromes. I don’t think I did that before I met my husband. But, is it really so unusual to notice? After all, it is 11:11, 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 6:06, 6:16, etc. twice each day, right? It is not really so weird, is it?

Some years ago, I had read articles that indicate that 3:00 in the afternoon and morning have spiritual significance, so I found myself looking at the clock during the 3:00 o’clock hour in the morning as well as being aware of 3:00 in the afternoon. Of course, 3:00 in the afternoon is the time to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and I was praying that and the rosary daily. But, I was waking up at 3:00 in the morning and sometimes at 3:33 too. At the time, I thought that was weird, but now I think that I just knew the time on a subconscious level, so I woke up and noted it just like I now notice 11:11, etc.
 
Just came home, returned a call and looked at the clock on the microwave to see how much time I had to bake a cake and let it cool so I could frost it to take it up to the fish fry for later this evening. It was 11:11.
 
I used to think that things just happened, or that things are orchestrated. Now I’m thinking it may not be an either/or.

I’m wondering if it isn’t that if we are free of the mental shackles of shame, we allow our minds to wander where they may need to go at any given moment to make us feel at home, so that any chance of a memory triggering dejavu or “coincidence” is allowed to do so. That makes us feel familiar in places and at times we haven’t been to before. Like in our mind we have a home away from home, where everything seems under control, even though we don’t feel like we can exercise any control.

A wise Priest once told me that in an either/or situation, the Catholic answer is both…

I often think there are no coincidences, but only Divine Providence. I also think He has a great sense of humor and coincidences are His way to show it while working behind the scenes .🙂 Considering what happened this evening, which I’ll share, perhaps it is a combination of inner clocks AND something more at work with all these numbers. Is this God’s sense of humor showing itself again? Is it just His way to tap us on the shoulder and say “Hi” once in a while? I don’t know, but maybe that is part of the answer.

I was talking with my husband in the family room about his new niece, who we will get to meet for the first time on Easter. I commented that she is a little thing compared to the other nieces, nephews and she was the smallest of the babies born on his side of the family that I knew of (his family tends to have big babies). He said that she was about the same weight as our daughter when she was born. I agreed they were close in size, that dear daughter weighed 6:14 at birth while new niece was a bit smaller and weighed 6:11.

Said dear daughter, who is now 15, was in the dining room on her laptop and she could hear us talking. She was watching “Evan Almighty” while posting on a forum. “Evan Almighty” was paused at the scene showing the bible verse Genesis 6:14. Daughter was replying to a poster who had last posted at 6:14 p.m. and yelled at her Dad and me that that was really weird. I was only slightly surprised, because that kind of thing happens to me all the time.

I later walked in the kitchen and looked at the oven clock at 6:14. I called to dear daughter that the time on the oven was 6:14, but the microwave clock said 6:13. As I finished speaking and heard her “That’s bizarre” response, the microwave clock went to 6:14 too so that both oven and microwave were at 6:14 for several seconds.

Meaningful? I don’t know how. Interesting? I think so.
 
1+1+1=1

Just like The Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit equal one God.

Verrry interesting. I had an almost exactly similar experience yesterday, and it involved the oven clock v. the microwave clock which were less than a minute apart. :hypno:

As I typed and posted, it went to 11:12, but it was 11:11 when I glanced down and began to post.

I feel like I am beating a dead horse, so I think I am finished with this thread.

Just another mystery of life…

Could be a sign that the spirit in you is more in control than we are told that it should be,or on the positive side a kind of reminder to be more thoughtful (reverent) of your father in heaven.

Hope that could help!!!

Bless you!
