Coincidence Of A Message From Heaven

A touching story today from Jess, which covers coincidences combined with a message from Heaven.

When I was a young girl, my father used to go on long business trips. He would write a letter to me every day while he was away. My mother would make sure these letters were out for me to read each morning. They all contained a greeting, a Bible verse with something to learn from it, and where he was and how much he loved me.

As I grew up, I forgot about these letters.

My father passed away when I was 18, many years after he wrote those precious little notes to me.

For Christmas that year, my mother gave me a scrapbook with all of the notes she had found, in date order. I resolved to read them on the same dates, of the coming year.

The encouragement in each seemed to be exactly what I needed to hear, each day. This strange (but cool) coincidence continued until I reached my birthday. It seems that, all those years ago, he was away on my birthday. The tears rolled down my face (and are now, even as I write this) as I read:

"I miss you so much, my precious little daughter! I wish I could be there with you now, but God had another plan for my life. Know that I love you, am proud of you, and will always be watching out for you ..."

Somehow my father had managed to get the message to me that I wanted to hear, even from Heaven.

Which Religion Cares Most About the Homeless

An interesting question posed: Which religion cares most about the homeless? It's also quite a clever 'sales' pitch!

I wonder, though, what each of us does when someone asks for money or help ...

Coincidence Between The Osama bin Laden Compound And Israel

This post takes us back to May 2011 and Osama bin Laden - remember him? At that time he was shot and killed inside a private residential compound called Abbottabad in Pakistan. That's an aerial photo above, which is in the public domain, of Abbottabad.

The JSS News website - which calls itself a 'webzine of Israeli opinion' came up with a theory about the shape of bin Laden's compound.

The website got out their maps and discovered that there was a resemblance between the aerial photo of Abbottabad and Israel.

If we look at the main house, where bin Laden was killed and captured, this is located where Jerusalem is found on a map of Israel. The compound's gate parallels the location Tel Aviv, its dumping ground matches the location of Tiberias and another building matched the location of Haifa.

A coincidence or something more?

Here's the two comparison pictures below.

So, what do you make of this? I hadn't come across it before.

The Chile UFO Squadron

I was looking at some foreign language websites and came across these recent 'UFO' sightings. The above photo was taken in Temuco, southern Chile and has been described dramatically as a UFO Squadron or maybe it's simply something entering the earth's atmosphere and burning up.

The Chile reference made me remember when I was a student and worked in a television and radio shop.

The 'super smooth salesman' was trying to sell a radio to a pretty young woman and told her how it would receive hundreds of radio stations and - if she sat by an open window - she would even get Chile. No idea why I thought of that!

There's also a short YouTube video of the 'UFO Squadron' (53 seconds)


And on a Romanian website Gandul I found a photo someone spotted on NASA's website. This is a photo of a UFO above the Earth, taken by NASA. It can be seen on their website here. The photo is in the public domain so here's a copy:

And a slightly bigger, but not so clear image, with a tiny red dot and line to the left of the photo.

Okay, that's it for today.

The 20 Year Old Postcard Coincidence Story

Peter  Dodds and his brother Ian with book and postcard

Another book coincidence or synchronicity story today but with a twist. I read this first in the Derbyshire Times.

Peter Dodds, 70, lives in Chesterfield, England, and when passing a charity shop he popped in and bought a biography of Winston Churchill for 50p - a bargain! But there was more to this book than meets the eye.

As he was glancing through the pages a postcard of Washington DC fell out. You'd most likely think that the previous reader was using the postcard as a book mark or something. But Mr Dodds turned the card over and immediately recognised the address. It belonged to his mother and incredibly the postcard was actually sent by his brother to his mother over 20 years ago - in 1988 to be precise!

Mr Dodds, who lives with his wife Lorna told the Derbyshire Times that he, "Half expected Mulder and Scully to turn up. It’s just one of those stories you wouldn’t believe."

He phoned his brother, Ian and told him, "I’ve had a postcard from you." Needless to say his brother was somewhat surprised.

Mr Dodds added, "It’s so strange because I walk past the charity shop daily and often have a browse at the books. I’d not seen this one before so it must have only just been dropped off. It was as if it was meant to be. I’m not the sort of person who believes in ghostly goings on or anything like that, but it certainly is a strange coincidence."

The Ghost Or Spirit That Changed Fern Britton's Life

It's interesting how we can often recall a time when something completely changed the course of our lives. Some would call this fate, destiny or maybe even just a lucky break. But what if this change came about because of something we had seen such as a ghost or spirit? This is what the UK television presenter, Fern Britton, says changed her life.

Fern was diagnosed with depression in her early 20s and was in a bad place but something came to rescue her and put her on a career path. In her own words:

"I was desperate and, I don't exaggerate, I even started wondering whether I had enough paracetamol  in the cupboard because I was seriously contemplating whether that might be the way to go. I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I'd come to a dead end.

"All of a sudden, by the side of the bed, I saw a white, glowing shape. That's the only way I can describe it. I couldn't see his features although I sensed it was a man. he then leant forward and put his hand on my forehead and I instantly fell asleep.

"In the morning, I woke and felt different. I knew what to do. I handed in my notice and, within a month, I was on a train to Plymouth to start work at Westward Television. I can't explain what had happened but it was as though there had been some sort of twist of the kaleidoscope.

"I found a house a short walk from the River Tamar, the salmon leaping on a summer's afternoon. I remember thinking, 'Thank you, God, for bringing me this.'"

Something or someone appears to have stepped in to help Fern when it was needed most. I like to believe that this is available to us all.

Synchronicity Of Being Alone Again Naturally

Gilbert O'Sullivan with words from Alone Again Naturally

An emotional story today from Margaret which follows on from a recent 67 Not Out post. My thanks to Margaret for sharing.

"Your post about symbols and synchronicity hit the mark with me and brought back memories from a long time ago. [see Synchronicity Appears When A Symbol Proves Its Significance]

At the time in the early 1970s I had my first real boyfriend, Ian, who I believed was the love of my life. During our time of going out together he bought me an LP by Gilbert O'Sullivan. This was back when records were plastic discs.

Gilbert was my favourite pop star at the time and I played the LP over and over again. It was also special because Ian had bought it for me and had written a sweet message on the sleeve.

To keep it short our romance broke up. He found another girl, much more attractive and out going than me. I was shattered on the night he told me that we were over. I remember I cried a lot in my bedroom and then went to play the Gilbert O'Sullivan record Ian had given me. As I took it out of the sleeve, I don't know how, but it dropped to the floor and broke.

Though I didn't realise at the time it was the symbol that said our romance was over, completely broken.

Since all those years ago I married and had children. My husband died in January last year.

The evening after I read your post, and some other regular web sites I look at, I turned on the radio to Gold, where they play hits from the past. The record they were playing was one of Gilbert O'Sullivan's hits, 'Alone Again Naturally.'

In my reflective moments while on my own I sometimes wonder what happened to Ian."
