My friend and I went and saw the movie Project Almanac and if I had a
time machine like those teenagers in this movie, I would really mess
things up. Although I'm not happy with the outcome of certain events in
my life, a chain reaction triggers this butterfly effect.
If we understand timelines, we won’t want to change them. Every time they changed the timeline some catastrophe happened because it affected other people. If we changed who we married, we would lose our children.
It’s rather interesting because I was watching these World War I and II movies about how a British soldier could have shot Hitler in World War I when he had a chance as a soldier. But probably another Fascist person could have been raised up and who knows if they would have been worse or the same as Hitler. We see that now with ISIS and these jihadist bombings.
For instance, when my spouse had his heart attack, a woman at work got her husband to go to the doctor and he had a clogged stent so she believes my husband's heart attack saved her husband from having a heart attack, because he did not want to go to the doctor for his indigestion. He had a greater “prompting” because of what happened to my spouse.
Several of his work friends said they were going to eat better and exercise. I eat better and most of my children eat better, and I got a woman who told me from his tissue donation from his legs that she was a single mother with a child that she now walks. I have no idea about the rest of his organ donations because he was a healthy man outside of asthma and his heart.
What most of us want to know if we lost a child or spouse early is that they did not die in vain, and one way is through organ donations.
I was listening to a minister talk about how his wife and him just left their jobs and were going to serve full time in a church when a drunk driver ran a red light and hit their car. His wife was thrown in the back seat with several injuries to her skull. Several people in the church came and prayed at the hospital including several ministers, but she still died.
What someone told this minister, and the Lord told him is that the Lord gave his wife a chance to decide if she wanted to stay on earth or leave.
This was rather a confirmation of my experience because both my daughter and I were praying during my husband’s heart attack and afterwards I was upset because I’ve read enough about people praying people back to earth (the book 90 Minutes in Heaven) and I always felt that my spouse ultimately chose to stay in heaven since he has two children in heaven.
Another confirmation of this was when I was praying if I could join my husband about l-l/2 years after he passed away and I had a dream about my spouse's death and I dreamed that I died. I was floating up to heaven and there was all this joy and peace and it was like if I really “wanted to go to heaven I could,” but out of the blue I prayed, “Not my will, but thine be done.” Then in my dream I was sent back to earth and was in a lodge full of people.
I find as a widow people are always trying to impose their will on me. It could be friends, former friends, in-laws or children and I think of that scripture:
Then he said, "Look, I have come to do your will." He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. Hebrews 10:9
Jesus gave himself over to the will of God and we are told to present our body as a living sacrifice – living sacrifices tend to crawl off the altar!
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Romans 12:1
As far as timelines, my late spouse and I talked about how it was not possible for us ever to meet unless we met the way we did through a single’s ad. My time clock of wanting to get remarried l-l/2 years after a divorce and for him it was ten months after his divorce, but he waited for two more months to answer my ad in a magazine, because a divorce recovery workshop said to “give yourself one year.”
That timeline brought us together and I look for a person like I had before that has a similar timeline as far as we are “on the same page in life.”
It’s sort of like my new job that took me l-l/2 years to find. They were looking for a person who had good customer service skills and believe in being a team player.
I feel the same way about marriage. Be a good team player. Those are two important qualities in life to be kind (good customer service) to each other and people. We are told that love is kind and is patient. 1 Cor. 13 --Love is not in a hurry.
Through faith and patience we inherit the promises and in our patience possess our soul.
In your patience ye shall possess your souls. Luke 21:19
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrews 6:12
