I'm convinced there is 'something' to it...but it's meaning is I'm sure different for different people/circumstances...though I'm wondering if it's origins are likely from the same place.
Not a particularly religious person myself and I don't tend to buy into conspiracy/other far-out theories much, but it's happened to me enough times over the last few years as to not simply pass it off as just "coincidence".
If(in this instance anyway)it has brought you peace of mind, I'd say you found the meaning(this "time" around).
Good luck to you.
Thanks! I pray that all goes well and that soon you are signing the paperwork to hand it over to the new owner, and that the new owner will recognize its true value...especially being hand built...!
I learned a new word the other day and thought it might be appropriate to share. "Godwink." Urban Dictionary defines it as "An occurence so odd and out of the ordinary, it had to be put in place by God. A wink from God letting you know you're in the right direction."
The context here is, I lost my best friend to cancer a few weeks ago, and the other day, his first name, as the name of a town, turned up on a map of the area where a project we had been working on, was set. I had seen this map before, several (dozen?) times, but his first name had never come up before on it, much less the name of a town -- and it was even highlighted. Another friend, who introduced me to the word "Godwink", said it was his way of letting us know he was still watching over us.
So I hope the 11:11 was your "Godwink". :-)
Precisely right. VTLT wants to do the right thing to honor God as well and his father and mother, so the signs will keep the correct path well lit.
The right buyer will love and appreciate the history of the house. I wouldn't be surprised if there will also be a confirmation to the poster with a specific tie-in to the buyer and Veteran's Day.
That's how these things work. I've lived long enough to see how they have manifested personally and repeatedly, even when not understanding the process at the time but only later at its fullness.
Here's the verse:
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
You have honored your mother and father and in keeping His commandment you should feel peace and love.
I agree with others who suggest your share the history with the buyer after the deal is made. They will love knowing the story of your home.
Pm if you want. Before this I have been dealing with five elderly relatives in their final months. I am pretty well versed in everything from Medicare stuff to probate. Can’t give legal advice...but I’ve been through the wringer.
All Praise and Glory to the Lord.
And may he continue to Bless you and your family til the end of your days.
I believe 100% that “signs” are revealed to us. Following my Mom’s passing in 2013, there were several in the form of personalized license plate messages. The first came a day or two after her death and was in a grocery store parking lot and happened when I rounded the corner seeing “GR8MOM.” The second was several months later when I hurriedly pulled into a parking spot and needing to be there before the store was closed and her lifelong nickname was the message plate on the car. Out of an entire state of license plates, what’s the odds of that happening?! Fortunately, I was able to take pictures of both with either a regular camera or cell phone, with the thought of showing them to family and friends thinking, “...you aren’t going to believe this” and thanking Mom for sending signs that she was OK.
Know your home sale is a difficult process right now, but you have taken that step forward to begin to live your future. Both of your parents would want you to enjoy the rest of your life and live it to the fullest.
T & P sent your way, and straight ahead, FRiend!
