For me, for certain...there is. Yesterday I almost killed Eugene. Not intentionally, just by that weird process of circumstances...lots of them.
What happened? A manager of the hotel that I contract to asked me to do an "extra"...cutting back tree branches which were too close to the hotel.
Rats!! can run the branches and get to the building and so....I went about the task and when I thought I was finished went to investigate...with
Eugene. I have to be careful around Eugene...he is as old as I and as deaf as I cepting I wear my hearing aids and he won't. He will not hear so
much of what goes on around us. Manager clarified her request (clarification is good) and I still had "de-branching" to do...Branches were thick and heavy
and I am 30+ feet off the ground. I close off the area so anyone thinking of coming out finds resistance and doesn't just come out without looking.
Circumstances...Eugene was away from the area and thought I was done. There was time between the first cutting and the second he didn't know about.
I kept checking the area around and below me to stop damage and possibly personal injury. I worked in time slots...cut then check. No problems and
another employee came to my side to further check. I was ready to drop the largest and heaviest branch of the day. I had a plan and the plan only
partially worked and as the branch swung down as intended and then broke its tether to fall, Chris says "Oh Eugene" and it all comes together. I look
over the edge of the building and Eugene is standing below me looking up with his arms around his head perfectly framed by the largest branches and
large leaves. An eave below did the smallest deflection and the branch surrounded his head like a near loose crown.
Everything was perfect for a tragedy. The timing was absolutely perfect. He did not hear anything and wouldn't have felt anything. It would have killed him
except for the presence of a Power Greater than us all. I am still in awe and gratitude and I am sure so is Eugene and Chris. Gonna be thanking out loud
all day and for the rest of the time I got. Awesome Higher Power. Has been around all my life. (((((hugs)))))
The last two days my HP really spoke to me in a ways he never did before...or maybe I rather never listened properly.
Specially today. He showed me the future...twice. Not a long time ahead into the future but the first time he showed me 2 hours ahead and then 5 minutes ahead.
I am not sure how to explain and I don't want to go into details right now because I am still processing it all and trying to learn/decipher the message/lesson but it was something so simple but so powerful, I was like WOW!
Yesterday he didn't show me the future but he literally guided me throughout the day and it felt sooooooo good!
Thanks again HP.

Yes. I am glad to know everyone is ok Jerry.
HP saved the day today from a real scary situation too where I would be responsible for somebody else's coming to harm by complete accident.
(((hugs)))

Luiza HP works with me that way also and lots of time very open and plainly. I'm metaphoric which means that most of my learning and understanding comes in picture form and I don't feel embarrassed or less than because of it like I use to be when I was younger. "What do we have to do ...draw you a picture"?? Well yes thank you...HP does it all the time. With Eugene and others I have to put up barriers and cones and yellow tape and flashing lights and stuff. "When man listens...God speaks"...keep listening. ((((hugs))))
I'm saying a special "thank You" to my HP that everyone is OK, Jerry. I'm a firm believer that God sees the beginning, ending and everything in the middle.
