I love these sorts of Christmas stories... I *do* believe that a grateful heart brings more stuff to be grateful for. As long as you thank the powers that be for all the blessings, I believe they propagate. I'm so happy you had these experiences!
I had a miracle myself. I think I told you before my brother's funeral that his ex-wife and the rest of us were estranged (that was by design by my brother, to keep us from sharing his lies--the hallmark of a drug addict). Anyway, we mended fences after the funeral. She asked me point blank why I had been estranged from him over the past year. I told her that he borrowed money and another issue and just said, "Well, he's gone and there's nothing I can do about it but to move forward. I'll let this one go."
On Christmas Eve morning, I got a text that said to click the link so that $400 could be deposited into my account. I naturally thought it was a scam and just ignored it. About 10 minutes later, my X-SIL texted me with the following message: "Chris sent you a Christmas something. Do not be afraid of proceeding with any text you receive. Merry Christmas from heaven!!!" She later told me that he came to her in a dream the night before and asked her to do it for me.
We've been texting ever since. She told me that all she ever wanted was a family. I let her know that I lost a brother but gained a sister. We both cried a few over that. Too bad it took something like his death to make this happen.
Isn't that awesome?
Keep 'em coming. Let's be the ministers of good faith and acts of kindness.
Happy New Year! Bets
