Cardinals as Messengers

/ Jeanne Lemmon Skinner / Leave a comment

There are many stories of people receiving messages from deceased loved ones via a cardinal visit. My friend was sitting on her deck missing her mother who had recently passed and a cardinal flew to the deck railing. The cardinal hopped towards her and appeared to stare at her. She returned the stare and he remained for several minutes. When he left, my friend said she was certain the cardinal had been sent by her mother and her sadness had been lifted. Her mother was a bird watcher and kept her bird feeder filled. Living in Ohio, cardinals were frequent visitors.

Wheat Pennies

/ Jeanne Lemmon Skinner / 4 Comments

Wheat pennies were made in the United States from 1909 to 1956. A friend was eager to share her wheat penny story with me. She and her sister were at the hospital visiting another sister who was fighting cancer. The two sisters went to the cafeteria to get lunch. While eating, one received a call and pushed her tray aside. When she pulled the tray back in front of her, she found a wheat penny sitting on the tray. The two sisters looked at each other in amazement. The coin had not been there before. When they examined the coin, they realized it was the year their ill sister had been born. Even more amazing was their dad had collected wheat pennies. Both sisters agreed that this was sign that their father was watching over his three girls from the other side. I love to receive stories like this. So if you have one to share, I’d love to hear it!
