Spring was in the air as I walked down our small street. I picked a daffodil and saw an Easter Basket with green and pink strands. 

I felt I had to pick it up. Suddenly I a saw a tiny creature...

“Dad saved pennies.

When he passed away my Aunt told me the poem ...

'It may be a penny from heaven

That an Angel's tossed to you.'

One day after that ...

“As a VOLUNTEER FIREMAN, we were called out one STORMY NIGHT to a home on fire.

I was DRIVING the fire truck TOO FAST ... suddenly a bright red CARDINAL flashed ACROSS my WINDSHIELD. If I hadn't instantly slowed...

“I had an incredible Godwink blessing last week for my birthday.

My friend and I were visiting an antique shop in Tyler and I saw this greeting card.

I’ve always been attracted to OLD TIMEY VALENTINES. When I opened it, I COULD HARDLY SPEAK...

 "Grandma and Grandpa got married the night grandma graduated and were inseparable for the next 72 years.

One day there was a TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Grandma and Grandpa were clinging to life. The nurses placed their beds, SIDE BY SIDE.

When Dad looked they were still HOLDING HANDS... then he saw the heart monitor...

“Doug Petit wasn’t in our shop more than five minutes when he spied a LITTLE HAND KNIT SWEATER ... and asked, ‘Where did you get that sweater? I was 4 years old when my Grandma knit it for me!’"

That's the way Godwinks walk into your life...and make you say...

“A STRANGER was standing in the FREEZING WIND waiting for the 4:30am ferry. I naturally invited him to WAIT in MY WARM CAR.

Wait til you hear how an act of KINDNESS CAN FOSTER an act of kindness!

“My mother had Alzheimer’s ...she COULDN’T REMEMBER to take her shower. But ... a YELLOW DUCK placed on her bureau was a reminder.

Before Mom went home to be with the Lord I whispered into her ear asking God to send a SIGN that she was okay. A few days after she departed I saw it and said, "That's it.. MY SIGN!"

“I pulled out my SKETCHPAD to draw. My husband popped in with a package containing a new Godwinks book ...and admired my drawing of the Daffy and Sylvester cartoon characters.

When finished with my drawing I randomly opened the new book and laughed out loud. The author was describing DAFFY & SYLVESTER…”.

What??

The TREE in my next door neighbor’s yard was LEANING PRECARIOUSLY towards our house. Yet, since the neighbor’s property was in foreclosure, no one would take responsibility for its removal.

I discussed my FEARS on several occasions with my dear friend Bill. We didn’t have a solution. I REMAINED FEARFUL.

“I was talking about the importance of TEACHERS and illustrated my point with a story from a book about Godwinks.

A guest whom I'd just met, was prompted to reveal that his FRENCH TEACHER took him under her wing and provided encouragement. He wished he knew how to FIND HER to thank her.

Guess what happened next!"

“I knew my FIRST CHRISTMAS WITHOUT MOM was going to be difficult. Honestly, I was dreading it.

At the mailbox I pulled out a small package. The sender was no one I recognized.

After lunch I gave in to my curiosity. I was WIDE-EYED ... then TEARY-EYED...

“One day my old car died as I was driving my SEVEN YEAR OLD daughter to school.

I was STRESSED ... but when it suddenly started ... my daughter looked at me with an angelic face and said...

“Years ago I went forward at a Billy Graham Crusade and a YOUNG WOMAN prayed with me. She subsequently wrote to me for months … until I stopped returning her letters.

Years later, my heart longed to FIND HER, but my NOTE was RETURNED as undeliverable.

Then … when I called the TELEPHONE OPERATOR for a number or address, I had the biggest SURPRISE …”

"My MOM, a shut-in at 88, was looking forward to seeing our family on THANKSGIVING. But, at the last minute everyone got SICK and we had to CANCEL our TRAVEL plans to be with her. Worse, she had nothing in the freezer.

However, a call to a CLOSED restaurant delivered a Godwink...

“I always tell my daughter to make sure she has at least a HALF-A-TANK of GAS in her car.

One night she called and said, ‘Mom, don't get MAD ..."

This may be your first hint of the holiday season.

Let me share a favorite Godwink Christmas story... it's true... told to me by our friend Roma Downey ...

“I PRAYED for black boots.

Then, becoming gripped with guilt about using God’s precious time for whimsical wishes, I said, ‘It's OK God …no big deal. I'll be fine without them.’

But, short while later...

“I had to see if the GIRL was okay.

She admitted that she was battling ADDICTION. She felt NO ONE LOVED HER. She said her MOM tried to get her clean… but DIED of cancer. Now she believes she LET HER MOM DOWN.

I asked her ...

“At a BARGAIN STORE I bought a CLOCK for $5.99 that was supposed to say Bible verses ON THE HOUR!

I sighed and went to the sunporch to PRAY about our annual 1000-mile that was giving me much ANXIETY.

Then I heard a VOICE. It said...

“They refurbished the auditorium of a school ... I purchased a PLAQUE on the back of one of the 600 seats to HONOR DAD.

Recently my daughter anxiously arrived late for an event at that school... there were few seats left ...

“David and Peggy Beamer, PARENTS of 9/11 HERO TODD BEAMER, hadn’t seen their 19 yr old GRANDDAUGHTER MORGAN in 2 yrs due to Covid.

She was born 4 months after her father shouted "Let's Roll" and PERISHED in the crash of Flt 93.

See how an astonishing GODWINK brought them ALL together on the 20th anniversary ...

“Historic St. Paul’s Chapel, “The Little Chapel that Stood” ... steps from Ground Zero ... somehow survived 9/11 without a broken window.

This wasn't the first time St. Paul’s Chapel experienced a miracle. The Daily News reported ...

“My 19 yr old niece Dani was WORRIED ABOUT her MOM, hospitalized and very sick.

Driving her electric cart among the cows on their DAIRY FARM, Dani was listening to music. A song came on: “I can Only Imagine”. The sentiment caused her to sit AMONG THE COWS, and just CRY.

A Brown Cow laid her head in her lap and ...

“Filled with anxiety, the little boy CRIED every day of preschool for 3 months! None of my 'teacher tricks' worked.

One day, at the brink of losing it, I marched him into the hall. Kneeling down, I was about to firmly say, ‘That's enough!’

Instead ... God had different words ...

“I had the coolest thing happen … I drove UNDER a rainbow!

I thought, ‘darn … wish I had a photo of this!’

But, God refused to disappoint me... thanks to Godwinks and Divine Alignment … perfect place, perfect time.

“When my FATHER was DYING from cancer ... my mother-in-law asked how he was doing.

That's all it took. I had to excuse myself to go CRY in another room.

I soon felt ARMS WRAP AROUND me. But... imagine my surprise ... no one was there. (clk photo to continue.)

Cleaning the church where Mom and the family have always attended, someone’s funeral announcement card was on the seat. I picked it up to see who it was for.

It was my own mother’s card!

No one can explain how it got there. She died two years ago ... (more)

“I came home from my housecleaning job EXHAUSTED... began crying, thinking about my late husband Rob.

Missing him I whispered, ‘What I need is a kiss from you...right now ... on my lips!"

Eye’s closed...moments later ... I felt a huge wet kiss right on my mouth! More...

EVERYONE seemed to be IN LOVE but me. I said to my Mom, 'I pray God brings me a CHEF to marry.’‘ She asked why.‘Because, I could never cook like you.’

Later that night I MET a young man who'd been accepted at the Culinary Institute of Amer... guess what happened...
