most astounding part of your life for you?
When was the last time something proved you so wrong, you felt amazed - so amazed that there must be a god out there! (obviously I am not religious but you get the saying)
I am talking about the times where you either thought you wouldn't make it out alive, or things would never change? Then something came along that changed your whole perspective?
I'm interested

I picked up my brother's ashes the other day at the funeral home which is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and after I was handed the box containing the 4 small urns, the young man had me sign a paper and then told me to have great day. I was stunned and speechless. How about saying something like "I'm so sorry for your loss"?

I lost my son Brian, on 10/25. He was 48. Brian was injured by the prescription drug accutane when he was 23 years old. This medication was for acne, and he wanted to look good for job interviews after graduating from college. This drug damaged his liver, his digestive system and his immune system. He never fully recovered from this injury. He had two degrees, one in marketing, and...
That's the first part. The necessary second part is when I apologize and take my lumps without fighting back.
Then, I had a phone conversation with my doctor. He had phoned me back cos he couldnt talk to me when I originally phoned up, and he wanted to before the appointment was made...and I left the house, so I would have privacy. It was POURING with rain, but I walked as I talked to him, and told him everything. And the appointment was made for a few days away. And when the conversation ended, I was absolutely soaked, but I was utterly delighted. I had to stop myself skipping home. I had a glimmer of hope, and I was no longer alone.
Good enough reason to believe in God? I think so!
The last post, awe, that's just so brightening.
I count these things as miracles. No matter how silly they seem to some, or how important - what happened to you that made you think is a gift. I believe anyway.
I have at least 10 if not 20% more hope in me - and that's huge considering I am so pessimistic about the world.
We all have our ups and downs, and things can happen out of the blue. But how can you explain those times where unspoken knowledge brings you closer together? Or you JUST survived from something that seemed so bad you couldn't get out of it.
Amazing. All of you. thankyou so much for your stories
I had the same experience when my sister was given her last rights 20 months ago. I'm not real religious, but I know there is something. Since my sister died I have pretty much abandoned any faith and replaced it with anger. I really need to get to a good place spiritually. I'm just too angry!!!!!!
