Were these miracles/reminders from mom?

[ThatMikeGuy]

My mom died October 28, 2008. Friday, 10/31, was the six-year anniversary of her funeral. Two things happened that day that I think were messages from mom, through God. What do you think?

First,I was at my grandma’s house and was shopping for her,when I remembered that at the 1st of the month (yesterday),my bank automatically takes a payment out for a loan I took out last year. I had 0 in the bank. I usually borrow money from my dad, but it would be too late for me to go home and deposit a check. I resigned myself to being late on the payment, but before I left the store I had a hunch to play a scratch-off lotto ticket. I won just the right amount I needed,and deposited at an ATM on the way home.

Second, my dad was outside doing farm work and in the field there was a yellow rose blooming, where there was nothing before. The yellow rose was my mom’s favorite flower.

I found these happenstances- on the same day- telling. Life has been very hard since mom died, and I’ve felt her presence before. I think these events are mom’s way of saying she is with us and prays for us, and God’s way of saying that things will be OK.

What do you think?

Yes, I believe the Lord allows these lovely happenings for us.

It’s enough for me that you feel she is with you and praying for you. Of course she is.

My dad loved the cheerful daffodils in the springtime and always bought some to have at home. He was ill with cancer when the daffies were in bloom and I bought some and brought them to him, put them in a vase. He was very appreciative of the kindness and died soon after. When I went to his house to continue my efforts to get it ready to sell, I found a silk daffodil resting on the ground right where I would have to step to get into the car. Where could that have come from? I sat and had a cry. It was like a hug and Thank You that came from him and God together. I have that silk daffodil by my icon of Christ. Their favorite flower is like their fingerprint coming into our physical world. Don’t let anyone take away the comfort it brought you.

I think we often are given reminders like this, and I think it’s a blessing when it happens.

I agree absolutely and take great comfort from the beautiful posts people have been willing to share in this thread.
It is indeed a gift from God that although the person we loved has gone from us, the strong tie of love remains unbroken - and sometimes God allows us to KNOW that in special ways.

God bless you all.
