I am not sure if I believe in psychics. I do know that I have had some weird experiences myself. Dreams that seem like deja vu and other strange events that I cannot explain have come up in my life often. I had one today. I was doing laundry and I had a load that didn’t seem quite full. I decided to wait to start it. I can’t say why. Later on, my husband brought home take out for dinner. I was holding a cup of soup and I accidentally drop half of it into my lap. It was a perfect coincidence. I was able to take off my dirty clothes and the furniture cover and put them into the load of laundry. It filled it and I was able to start it right there and then.
Was I able to predict the future? I doubt it, but maybe there’s something greater going on here. The last few days I have been worried about all the violence and hate in the world that I have been seeing on the news and I have been stressed out about all the work I have to do this month. I have been forgetting to just live in the moment. There’s nothing like hot soup in my lap to make me stop thinking about everything else and just think about the moment that I am in.
Maybe that little coincidence was God’s way of telling me: Yes, the soup means pay attention to here and now. Stop worrying about what’s going to happen in the future, when you need to pay attention to today. It doesn’t mean that I can’t think about the future; it just means that if my mind is always in the future, then I’m going to end up with hot soup in my lap.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
