Crowds outside Buckingham Palace heard that Queen Elizabeth had died.

One day I TOLD my MOM I wanted to go to L.A. and become a comedic actress.

I immediately realized that probably wasn’t a good idea. The LOOK on her face said, ‘Have you gone NUTS?’

My dream bubble BURST!

But, God had the last wink...

HUMMINGBIRDS were my Mom’s favorite birds. 

I remember when one flew into our kitchen window and KNOCKED itself OUT. 

Mom picked up the tiny thing, thinking it was DEAD, sang to it, prayed over it, and suddenly it sat up and ...

Cloud formations … can help us…warn us… or give us a sense of hope.

The person who took the photo above …

A church sign read: “There’s only one God. Stop applying for His position!” 

I thought I knew what was best for me. I struggled to accept… but what seems so simple is not easy to do.

A piece of hard CANDY dislodged from my daughter’s throat ... she could breathe again!
 
My HUSBAND asked curiously, “How did you KNOW Lexie needed help?”
 
“Because she called out ‘Mommy’.”
 

He said quietly, “I was LYING AWAKE ... Lexie DIDN’T CALL for you.”

“It was nearly 100 degrees. Dad suggested that we take the LONGER but more PICTURESQUE ROUTE over a mountain pass.

A half-hour later we were surprised to see that SNOW had fallen at those altitudes in late July! We laughed about it until ...

When my kids were little I read that the little engine would say “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

When I came to know Jesus, the words “I think I can” turned into different words.

“My mom was severely ill. I was driving, crying, and FEELING ALONE!

I PRAYED out loud to God, ‘Do you EVEN SEE US down here?’

As we got into the car to drive home, Simon and Garfunkle's 'I am a rock… I am an island' was playing ON the RADIO!

What were the odds? It was an amazing GODWINK!

“Still devastated with the sudden loss of her husband, Joanne recalled the day they drove past a store with a LAMP in the window. ‘I love that lamp’, she said, to which he replied, ‘get it’. I shook it off thinking it was probably expensive.

Last week, still hurting, she began to see God's fingerprints in a Godwink ...

As a TEENAGER Renée loved roller-skating...then four decades LATER …   an ONLINE AD popped up for a USED pair of skates for $40. She went to the home of the seller to try them on.

But, you'll never imagine the "WOW" Godwink that greeted her!

“A BOY was holding up a baseball SMILING ... it took a moment to remember.

I texted Cassie the photo and she responded ...OMG ... it's Daddy's hand ..."

“I was really missing my dad who loved HUMMINGBIRDS.

On the first anniversary of his passing ... and again on the second anniversary... dressed in brown and red feathers...."

While working as a DEPUTY I found a WALLET on the ground.  

Hours later, several miles away, I saw a woman sitting in a parked car, head down and looking upset. I wondered, could this be a WINK from GOD?

The LITTLE GIRL LAY NEAR DEATH, critically injured, desperately needing a blood transfusion. No one could be found who matched her rare blood type.

Doctors then discovered that her seven year old brother ...

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...
