It is interesting how I happened upon this site. It has everything to do with our Mother, blessed among all women and blessed is the fruit of her womb, Jesus! I have been experiencing amazing revelations. I think I found this site at the right time. There is a lot to read and I have much to share. I was pondering Garabandal and the Woman of Revelation 12 before I found you. This, after some intense conflict and attacks by heretics that I was defending our mother against. Garabandal is a blessing and I believe the Holy Spirit has given me understanding of some of its mysteries. I have already posted my understanding. Well, again hello and God Bless!
Welcome to both of you! God works in mysterious ways and I believe coincidents are mostly either little signal graces or affirmations in the puzzle piece [of life] pointing toward the bigger picture!
I'm sorry to hear that Solanus; because my life has been full of coincidences or as I like to see them..........a coincident that occurs to reaffirm my faith! becoming precious signal graces. Greetings!
Hah yet again. As I have seen just way too may truck drivers giving me same old same old over time. You just cannot keep calling me out on break-down and telling me it is a coincidence........... Greetings and good night,(or morrow) backatya.................Beannacht De libh.........
I am not sure about conflict but I heard a sad thing this morning. I have two friends , both grandparents with loads of grandchildren who went on holiday to Spain for 18 days and who are both dry alchoholics. They went back on the drink in Spain and have now broken up, though they love each other deeply. A friend met the guy yesterday early morning very dirty and with a bottle of vodka in his hand saying, 'I'm cold, I'm cold. Life can be so very,very, very sad. Please pray for them both. They certainly teach me to count my own blessings.
I will pray for them Padraig. And btw thank you Victory123, regarding your above survey, of strange and unwarranted conflict recently........... I am refering to coincidences that confirm Gods Love and truth. Not the 'same old same old'........human deception! Solanus, in your dealings with "coincidences", have you ever considered that maybe one poor bugger with a broken down truck could have been genuine?
I have met a few who have been genuine, (they are mostly rouges tho, an tramps to boot). They seemed to know of my house, knew there was hard standing for heavy trailors. My old girl prepared many a breakfast for many an old broken down hump. I got their trucks going. Dont ya just love old memories.................
Maybe we are all broken down old humps, one way to the other. That is why Jesus died on the Cross to fix us. By His wounds we are healed. So we pray , 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner'
I heard a story one time about a priest, a Mother Superior and her Novice who one day were leaving a Church after mass and encountered a drunken old man lying sleeping outside. The priest said, 'Isn't that a scandal lying drunk like that at that at this time on a Sunday morning!' But the Mother Superior said, 'There for the grace of God go I!!' The young novice spoke last, ''But what would make any of think we are any better than him?'
Calling our brothers and sisters, 'Broken down old humps', is not a good way to go in describing our sisters and brothers. These are not words of love, but words of very harsh judgement.
Maybe you have reasons to be jaded Solanus, I know I am jaded about many things in this life but I know this jadedness is not a reality, it is a deception related to the evil world and it's maxims! I believe Our Lord will give you a confimation of His Love through a coincidence! [of all things] please do not discount it, be open to His Love. He loves you! God Bless you and your old girl! She sounds like a saint, and from this angle I bet she is ! Do something nice for her! Surprise her with thoughtfulness! Get her a spa day with a massage and maybe some time away from you, she will love this! You do sound like a lovable couple! God Bless
