Last Sunday was Father’s day in the US.
The week before I kept remembering how my Dad used to chuckle as he repeated a line from one of his favorite British comedy shows where the ‘husband” would turn to his friend and with a knowing look say of his wife, “She knows you know!”
Dad knew it was true of my mum – that uncanny feminine intuition that invariably saw to the heart of the matter
So when the other night Hilary said to me ‘So what’s going on?” I knew she was on to something.
“I don’t know.” I said quite honestly. “Probably just need to go to sleep”
A few hours later I woke. “Disheartened” Father whispered.
He then replayed for me some critical feedback I’d received that day. I appreciated the insights and realized I needed to adjust some things. Then he reminded me about some other comments of exasperation that left me wondering “Am I ever going to change!?”
I got up to go outside for a while, and noticed the clock said 4.14. I stood on our front grass barefoot. “Grounding” or earthing is the modern term for doing what our ancestors did without thinking – going barefoot! Science has now shown the health benefits of this.
As I felt the gentle warm breeze of a Minnesotan June, I experienced again the truth that we are in fact “grounded in love.” All the negativity that I had allowed myself to pick up during the day was neutralized as I saw again my Father’s smiling face, or at least it’s reflection, in the moon : – ))
I returned to bed noticing the time was now 4.41. I smiled. One of the corrections I’d received was to do with a teaching I had just given about the two dedicated groups of 144,000 in Revelation 7 and 14. I had got so carried away in my enthusiasm to say what I was seeing that the more pastorally orientated folk said I had “left people behind”
The two times on the clock containing the numbers 1 and two 4s was I knew my Father’s smile saying,
“It’s OK to not get it ‘just right’ – you can still be part of that company :- )”
The next morning (Father’s day) I collapsed onto the grass to recover after doing my “Peak 10” exercise routine. As I opened my eyes I saw on a leaf in front of me what looked like a Hebrew character, inscribed presumably by an inspired snail : – )
I realized this was the spot where I had got ‘grounded in love’ the night before.
I knew it was another God-photo opportunity and snapped it. then looking at my clock realized the time – it was the same numbers – this time in the correct order….1.44. A third witness indicating “It is time for that company to come forth”
So I pondered “the message on the leaf” and here is what I concluded.
The main line is a Daleth which represents the number 4. In biblical numerology 4 is the number for earth. It also pictures a door. Then to the top right I saw a Yod. This is the number 10 which is for divine order being reestablished. The other symbol to the left is a Greek Omega, which is the last letter. Jesus said in Revelation 22:12,13 He is coming soon as the Alpha and Omega. He really does have the first and the last word : – ))
Putting this all together I understood Father to be saying. “You are at the door. I am even now bringing this age to a conclusion and reestablishing my divine order in the earth that will be rooted and grounded in my essential nature – of love.”
So if you are feeling “Disheartened” – TAKE HEART! The news I was reminded, is extremely good, and the future is full of hope. We are living in Father’s happy Day….and remember, not only will the birds of the air instruct you about this but the leaves of the field too!!
What a Dad we have!!!
P.S. Of course leaves are open to interpretation. Please let me know if you see something else in the leaf (or in my mental state : – ))
