We looked for the plaque but couldn’t find it

Hi – I want to share with you an experience I had so that you can see how your wonderful service has been used in unexpected ways. My mother passed away Dec.3.1997. When my brother and I left the hospital, we went to her apartment just to make sure everything was turned off and locked up. As we walked in, we began talking about the little plaques and sayings my mother liked to put up in different rooms.
I said that my favorite had always been a plaque I had bought her on one of my trips to Utah.  The saying was something like, “Your life is God’s gift to you.  What you do with your life is your gift to God.”  We briefly looked through her apartment for the plaque but couldn’t find it.  We knew it would turn up eventually.
The funeral was Mon., Dec. 8.  As I was beginning to get ready, I thought I would check the WOW message for that day and see if it was particularly inspirational and appropriate.  The message for that day was, “Life is God’s greatest gift to man, and what we do with our life is our gift to God.” I suppose there are many who would say it was merely coincidence.  But the odds of that specific quote on that specific day are just too astronomical to be chance.  I believe my mother was telling me that she was still around, that she was keeping an eye on things, and that she heard my brother and I talking.
The Lord works in mysterious ways – including using your service as a medium.
