“Take things that are light enough to carry and heavy enough to remember.”
– Quoted from a speaker at the Kaufmann School Graduation May, 2019
The collection of stories I’ve gathered and recorded are the stories that have guided me to believe very deeply and personally that there are forces around us, angels, if you will, who watch out for us, nudge us, teach us, and occasionally humble us. You will note that some come from my early childhood years; others are very recent. I have felt the effects at home, in our communities, and certainly while traveling the globe. I don’t feel controlled by them, more so, the feeling is one of love and caring, connectedness. The experiences have become numerous enough that I felt it was time to start writing them down.
When I shared just a couple of these stories with my cousin, he called them “God moments”. I’ve also just recently heard of a term called a “God wink”. Others call them “moments of Grace”. Good to know that other folks may have experienced some of these as well.
God wink:
- An event or personal experience, often identified as coincidence, so astonishing that it is seen as a sign of divine intervention, especially when perceived as the answer to a prayer.
