Let me start this status off by saying: Im not bragging on myself. Im bragging on someone else. Okay, here goes. Yesterday was my parents wedding anniversary. God, I love them. May Dads heart somehow reach Moms :( Anyway, Mom & I went on our weekly grocery shopping spree, we were both in excellent moods. I told her happy anniversary and she said (if you know Mom, you can hear her say this) yeah, yeah, thanks. So no big deal, shes used to missing him by now. Anyway, so were out and about.. My haircut ✅, walmart✅, were at Murphys getting gas and JJs cigarettes when a woman who looks very familiar to me is standing in front of me in line. I politely smile because Im too much of an idiot to think of anything polite to say as to find out if I know her or not. Anyway, she has all of her items and she comes up a little short so I offer her the change she needed(this has been done for me A LOT so Im not bragging, just telling the story). I said how much do you need? She said $3.37. I was thinking she just needed like $.50 but I still felt compelled to offer her the change and just go about my business. She said Ill run and get you your change and I basically said pay it forward. She thanked me and left and I thought nothing more about it until later. I got home, unloaded groceries, cooked supper, and was just wondering how long my parents have been married. I do the math, 37 years. Back story: 37 was my brothers football number his senior year of high school. Id have dreams of him in his jersey, showing our Dad that he could play(weird, I know) anyway, then I had spiritual dreams that 37 was the number of a Bible verse that is crucial for to read to my family, and it came to me. The trinity- The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit... 3. God created all things and rested in 7 days. Gods representing number is 3, His number of completion is 7. $3.37, 37 years. Ive had failing faith the last year or so. Never doubting the existence of God Himself, but I have doubts about religion and governmental influence, I have doubts about Christians, I even have doubts about the stories of Jesus Christ (though that scares me) it is true. I feel like God took yesterday and gave it to me. As if I deserve His mercy or tender loving care, I genuinely believe Our Father took time out of His rather busy agenda to make me have a spark back in my faith. Mark me as insane, but again I having a compelling feeling and it says share your story. So I did. Im just in awe....
