    Divine Intervention

    Thursday, May 28, 2009, 1:42 PM [General]

    So I'm driving home from school, and I get this urge to deviate from my standard migration patterns. I get off I-65 two exits early, because my gut tells me to, and I follow that weird side road/service road that runs parallel. Not even a mile down, I find a family walking along the side of the road. There's a man, woman, and a little girl that I would guesstimate to be about 6.

    I pulled up behind them, honked and asked if they wanted a ride. They accepted. I apologized for my back seat being full of college crap, and they just laughed and said that it sure beat walking. I had seen a car broken down several exits back, and I asked if it was theirs. They said it was, and they were walking to a relation's house to get help. I offered to take them there. They were grateful.

    I dropped them off at their location, and they thanked me profusely. The little girl was so cute. She got out if the car and gave me a big wave and said, "Thank you mister!" She was still waving goodbye as I drove away.

    As I left, I got this funny notion of their god talking to my kami and saying, "hey, guys, your follower actually listens to you. You think you could get him to help me answer this prayer? These folks could use a hand."

    It's a nice thought, anyway. ;-)

    Thanks for your post. It was wonderful. I just love those ordinary moments when God pokes his head into my life. I'm sure it happens more than I notice. ;)

    Wow, how cool is that?
    I got a really funny cartoon-strip like image of ther god talking to a kami in my head, lol!

    Stuff like that proves to me the existance of something greater than what we can physically see. When we are open, the universe (or whatever you want to call it) can seriously do some good through us.

    Being guided in some way--divine enterven-
    tion, hunch, angel guidance -- is natural.
    Going out of your way to help is more than
    just an urge. To me, I measure the impulse
    at four levels of consideration. First, it
    must be WHOLESOME(not deviant in any way).
    Then it should qualify as being WORTHWHILE;
    something that's meaningful to you as well
    as others. And it should be BENEFICIAL, or
    generates something that helps you others
    do better. Actually doing something that's
    positive is most important. We're all al-
    lowed to choose to do things that matter.
    We have to do them though to merit value.

    I had left my husband at home while I was running errands. As I passed the turn where I usually go to go home, something told me to GO HOME! As I walked into the bedroom, I saw my husband about to take a HANDFUL of piills!! I immediately stopped him, and tried to reason with him about the quantity of medication he was going to take. He put the pills down, and said he wouldn't do that again.

    I just wonder WHAT would have happened if I hadn't "listened" to my God telling me to do something that saved my husband's life. I have since learned to TRUST these "urgings" to the point where they ALWAYS lead to something important and, in this case, life-saving.
