Something Happened
It was 4:45 am and I was sleeping sound. I awoke with my eyes wide open. It was still dark and I…
It was 4:45 am and I was sleeping sound. I awoke with my eyes wide open. It was still dark and I was getting ready to turn the light on to see what time it was. When I moved my hand off the extra pillow I felt something.
It didn’t startle me like a crawling bug. It felt like jewelry.
A little over five years ago I wore this gold cross necklace during the year that I took care of my Dad. A few months after his burial I retired the necklace and have not looked at it since.
I felt whatever it was and put it in my fingers. Turning the light on I looked at what had been placed on my pillow and there was the cross.
I was not dreaming any of this. I was truly awake as I knew what time it was. I had changed the sheets yesterday. I had also used this extra pillow to prop my head up to watch TV last night.
I always lay the extra pillow right beside my pillow I actually use for sleeping. So there was no way in this world that the cross necklace could have been there. But yet, there it was. I kept it in my hand and took it with me to use the lady’s room.
I was just trying to figure out what was going on during my sleep when I felt a tug at my heart. It was saying, put it on, just put it on.
So I put it on and then without thinking I looked up at the ceiling and said out loud, I am ready Lord. I am ready for whatever it is that you want me to be ready for.
I went back to bed and sat up for a few minutes. Then I shut the lights off and went back to sleep.I felt really calm and was not even anxious. Sleep came easily. When I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, the necklace was still around my neck.
I thought of my Dad and went back in time. I won’t take this off for a while.
Lord almighty
You have mysterious
Ways that you
Work and I will
Not even pretend
To understand
Your ways.
For whatever
Reason you or
A guardian angel
Placed this object
For me to see
And wear
I know without
A doubt you are
Here with me
Always and
By my side
Through my
Walk on this
Journey called
My life.
