My mom had a "Coronet" magazine lying open, there on the table beside me. It had an article about a man's experience emigrating to the USA from his homeland in China. The title page had Chinese characters down one side and the translation in English.
I apparently got really excited and started patting one of the characters with my hand, and exclaiming, "The wind! The wind! The wind!" I wasn't patting an English word, but a Chinese character.
My mom took a look at the page. The title in English? "Bamboo Bends in the Wind."
She got goose bumps.
I'm still frustrated that I don't remember Chinese!
I love stores like this one! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I'll be glad to, as they come to mind. I'm sure there are more. My sister used to see angels when she was little. I should ask her more about that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very interesting story and one that makes me wonder about my own past. Who knows where we all originated from, look forward to more insightful stories :)

Amazing, Orea!
ReplyDeleteChildren at an early age who demonstrate an ability that by all rights they shouldn't know SHOULD be paid attention to. If you're interested in Children's past lives, I have two books to recommend:
1. Old Souls by Tom Shroder
2.Soul Survivor:
The Reincarnation of a World War II Fighter Pilot
Bruce and Andrea Leininger.
Both FABULOUS studies that left me MORE convinced then EVER that we ALL come back.
Be Happy! Be Well! Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

It has never made sense to me that God wouldn't recycle, especially when He loves us so dearly. And anyone getting up in age has figured out, I think, that one lifetime just isn't enough! So much to learn and do and try.
ReplyDeleteI'll make a note of your recommendations. They sound interesting.
Thanks for stopping by, Chris!
Blessings,
