    Sacred Stories

    On her way in to the restaurant for a business meeting, she noticed a sign advertising “psychic readings.”

    While in the restaurant, a woman caught her attention.

    Her meeting finished a bit early, leaving her a few extra minutes, so she decided to go for a reading.

    When she entered the office, the psychic was the patron who had previously caught her eye at the restaurant!

  • Google Maps

    Sacred Stories

    Google maps on her phone told her to get off I 65. They were south of Louisville.

    Never had Google maps just told her to get off. If something was going to cause a delay—an accident or construction, the app had always offered an alternative route, leaving the choice to her.

    The “unusual” behavior caught her attention!

    She decided to follow the prompt because it was so unusual.

    The detour was uneventful, and put them back on I 65 avoiding a complete accident-related shutdown.

  • Obituary

    Sacred Stories

    The drug store she worked in carried the local newspaper. One evening, as she was getting ready to go home, she went to the front of the store and opened the paper.

    Turning to the back page, she said to a co-worker, “I just wanted to check to see if my mother-in-law’s obituary was in here.”

    It was not.

    “Is your mother-in-law ill?” the co-worker asked.

    “I have no idea. I haven’t had contact with her in years.”

    Two days later, she found out her mother-in-law actually had died that day, but it wasn’t in the paper yet!

  • Sycamore Tree

    Sacred Stories

    She was at a picnic with some of her church friends when she was drawn to a beautiful autumn tree. She spontaneously walked over and gave it a hug.

    Then suddenly she felt a strong urge to tell the Bible story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector. A short man, wanting to see Jesus, he climbed up in a sycamore tree. The story says that Jesus looked up in the tree, called Zacchaeus by name, and told him to come down because Jesus was coming home with him. Shocking.

    As she finished telling the story, a man in the group called her over to see something he had on his computer screen.

    “I thought you would appreciate knowing that the tree you just hugged is a sycamore,” he said.

  • Burn Healed

    Sacred Stories

    She just needed to get outside. Needed some time alone. She went to the farm and walked in the woods.

    She hated seeing trash in the stream. Some of the woods had been select cut four years earlier. Now so many saplings had grown up she could barely walk in some parts.

    Some of the large trees were leaning down toward the hollow—as if their roots couldn’t hold them straight anymore. As she realized the reason, she cried. Through her tears she apologized for cutting the other trees.

    She saw clearly that the trees had been able to stand so straight before because, over the years, they had intertwined all of their roots together. They supported each other in standing tall on the steep hillside.

    She thanked the trees for the life they had given her as she grew up.

    That night as she readied for bed, she noticed the inch-long burn on the top of her right hand was now only one-half inch and it was already a dry, sealed wound!

    WHAT A LESSON!

  • Somebody Hit My Car!

    Sacred Stories

    It was Christmas day. She drove her new car to her parents’ home. As she parked near the barn, she said, “I don’t want to park here and have somebody hit my new car.”

    She moved the car across the street next to the house, but that did not feel right, so she moved back to the barn, headed in the opposite direction.

    As the family celebration began, she said, “Somebody hit my car!”

    A moment later they heard a crash.

    Someone did hit her new car, but because of the way it was parked, they were OK and her car was not seriously damaged. She announced the crash before they heard the sound…

    A Christmas angel had given her the gift of a warning. Fortunately, she was paying attention.
