I wanted to tell everyone about the miracle that happening this morning. My husband Bill passed away October 22nd. I'm a religious person and I've been praying for him that his spirit is safe with the Lord. Six months ago in April I was a victim of a purse snaching. My mother passed away 5 years ago.I inherited her engagement ring which was very expensive and had priceless sentimental value to me. The ring was in my pocketbook when it was stolen. A police officer came to my door this morning asked me my name and asked if I had been missing a pocketbook. I told him yes it had been stolen off my arm. He said it he was down by the railroad tracks in a town close to ours and had found it. He told me it was very dirty and ruined it had been outside for six months. I went through the pocketbook that had been stolen which unbelievably still had my wallet in it. Inside the zipper part of the wallet was my mother's ring untouched. I cried and cried this morning! What are the odds that the theif would have missed it in there or that six months later it would be found by a police officer down by the tracks? he said he took alot of ribbing from his fellow officers about being down on the tracks in the first place. I know in my heart that Bill led him there and that he is watching over me. I've been praying for a sign that he is ok. This morning God gave me a miracle.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I had a similar experience,I wanted to know that my dad was still watching over me.
A year to the day after he passed away i was clearing some video tapes to give to charity.
This one video kept falling from the pile,it was strange it was in the middle of the pile.I thought i am not supposed to give this one away.
I looked at the video and inside there was a photo of me with a message from my dad.
I had never seen it before.It must of been written not long before he died.I had a silly argument with him but i didnt get the chance to talk about it.
He had written that i was not to worry about it,not to worry about anything.He said all that i wanted to hear.He had died so suddenly.It was such a wonderful moment for me to know he is looking down on me.

Thank you for sharing it.
I have had similar experiences from my brother, he likes me to know its ok and he is safe.
I went to his resting place a few months back and stood there alone, i was at one of my lowest points when out of nowhere a cat came over to me and started weaving round my legs. i took this as a sign and the cat followed me back to my car and watched till i drove off. we should all take great comfort in signs no matter how small.
Like yourself, I'm a confident believer in my religion. And yet, while not doubting my Faith, I've worried/prayed - even to the point of asking God for a sign that Mom is safe.
I don't know if this qualifies as a sign but here goes: There's usually a long waiting list for Masses for the deceased - as much as a year. In anticipation of Mom's possible passing, I even requested Masses months ago - they came up for March 2008. So you don't expect to see the person's name immediately. My Church's Sunday bulletin showed Mom's name as being remembered at Mass tomorrow, Nov. 1st, All Saints Day - not a year later but less than two MONTHS after than her passing. Is she a saint? Is she in Heaven? Is she safe? I left the Church wondering if this was God's sign.
