Title: BELIEVE...... Post by raydawg on 08/22/19 at 08:22:47 Here is a neat story.....enjoy it for what it reveals :) My wife and I had a wonderful weeks vacation, last week, camping in the forest on the beach (ocean). On the morning we were leaving, I didn't put on my hearing aids, because I had lots of stuff to do, getting the trailer all hooked up, etc.... I sweat like a pig, and the moisture makes my hearing aids go crazy. All ready to launch, I grab my wallet that I put on a shelf under the TV, and lock up the door to the trailer, putting my wallet in a side cubby on the door of my truck because I don't like to drive with a lump in my butt.... ;D Off we go. Get home, and now unload the trailer, etc.... I know the hearing aids are on that shelf, but again, I had lots of sweating to do and forgot about them. Later, I go to fetch them..... Er....can't find one of them :-? I look, look, and look. I then tell my wife. She goes off on me...."YOU GOT 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO WASTE BECAUSE YOU CAN"T TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUFF?????!!!!????" I go back to the trailer, saying a prayer to God, "Lord, please let my eyes fall upon that hearing aid I lost. I know it means so little in the scoop of this world, but if you can, please allow it to be, Amen" I open the door to the trailer, I really expected to see it revealed, like a "How in the heck did I miss seeing that?" Evoking the memory of my dad, when he would say, "If it was a snake, it would have bit ya!" ;D But, no....not to be :-[ Monday morning, my wife gets a text from the campground we stayed at, asking if we lost a hearing aid in the forest? My wife is dumbfounded......NO WAY can I be reading this right, she thinks. She reads it again. OMG. She texts me. WHAT......OMG! A needle in a haystack.....OH GOODNESS. Someone found it, and turned it in! It must have stuck to my wallet somehow, then fell off while I was trekking to the truck....???? :o I got it back yesterday, it works fine. I put it away in the CASE that I am always going to use from now on ;D I guess God wanted to use a few more people in this miracle, why....I don't know, I don't need to know..... All I know is he did answer my prayer, and I have a few people I need to thank and show my appreciation to. :) In a day and age of only bad and negativity, I find this episode in my life so uplifting....yes, it saved me some BIG bucks, but that is not why, it shows me more than that, it caring, going the extra step, a little thing perhaps, but you just never know how much a impact it has on a greater cause.....AMEN? |

Title: Re: BELIEVE...... Post by Eegore on 08/23/19 at 10:29:38 I got a flip-flop from heaven once. During a pharm run in Columbia we had come under fire multiple times and were starting to run low ourselves so we re-routed into dense jungle. In one of the encounters something had ripped my left boot, either an active round or shrapnel of some kind and it had compromised the sole and side of the boot. I ended up having to cut it apart and use the laces to quickly stitch part of the sole together as well as lash it with some foliage to my foot in a makeshift sandal. The foliage was essential as blisters are not something you want in that environment. Our revised route meant hacking away through jungle with machetes. As we advanced I looked down and saw one pink flip-flop on the ground. This was an area we knew nobody had passed through for a considerable amount of time based off the density of the jungle so we have no idea how it got there. One of our interpreters assumed it fell from a small plane since we were so far out. In any case that flip-flop was less likely to tear up my foot than my hack-job boot sandal so on my foot it went. A flip-flop from heaven I called it. To this day anyone with more than one escort in that region earns a pair of pink flip-flops to wear in camp. Oh and I immediately called the Vatican when I got home. |
