This falls under experiences...because trees and what they feel or say was brought up...
I am reminded of a little boy, now a grown up, that died, came back...and in
some sort of Life Review...was shown the big tree in Seneca Park, NY that he stood in front of and said, or thought..."Wow, what a beautiful tree!"
He was shown how that tree 'felt' when he thought that!
once i was at a community group meeting in a not so great part of town, about 15 people usually attended, and due to its sketchy location, the door to the building was kept locked, and people had to knock to get in, but sometimes the door was propped open to avoid having to get up every time to let someone in. anyway one day i was at this group, and a lady wandered in who looked like a bag lady that had wandered in off the streets. she kept staring at me during the group and i figured it was just another street person looking for a warm room to hang out in for a couple hours. after the meeting ended she came right up to me and kept staring me right in the face. I thought she was going to ask me for money, but she just stood their staring at me. finally she said, "you are in a lot of pain, and i am going to pray for you, when i pray for people they get better" and then she turned around and left the building.
well that totally threw me. it was very strange. she was strange, just your basic bag lady. no one in the group knew who she was and I never saw her there again but it had a strong impact on me. she was right i was at a very low point in my life (physical, emotional, legal, financial troubles, no hope or joy whatsoever in my world, no prayer, no religion, no nothing). and it was a turning point for me where things did begin to improve. what I really liked about it even to this day (it was about 17 years ago) was that she was shabby.
GREAT story!!!!
A minister downtown (lots of 'shabby' people..) said to me ...
"Where do you think the saints are? Where do you think they came from in Jesus' day?
The streets!

THAT's when the "Angel's" are sent TZ Let's face it IF we all lived a perfect life we wouldn't need that support or guidance or whatever..would we?
Human being are frail and vulnerable to temptations of easy way out..or quick fixes or excuses for our wrong decisions...BUT the truth of it is..WE made human choices..God didn't make them for us..Nor did GOD make the evilness that come our way.....So Yes..Eye's/ears Wide OPEN is important to not Judge less we be Judged..and listen ..WE all may learn something from that!!

Good story.
Some people are gifted in ways that escape the ken of most.

This has kinda happened to me a few times. Random strangers I meet that say exactly what I need to hear at the time. I can't say they impacted my entire life, but made a huge difference at that time.
Just a month ago I was very upset about something, I go to the store, and out of the blue a woman starts to talk to me and proceeds to tell me things that I am thinking. Long story short, it made my day, and I think meeting her that day was not a coincidence.

Serendipity is just about the most persuasive evidence I've come across for a God-thing.
