Strange but true stories :

How did the poppy appeared ?

I was taken into hospital with a infected left leg that was more brighter than a red tomato and a temperature of 40, I was so hot not only in my with body but also in my leg.

The doctors were convinced I might have to have the leg remove if it didn't react to antibiotics in the next 48 hours.

I have always believe in the spiritual way of life and I always had my guide with me who happened to be a best friend of mine I lost a long time ago who I grew up with from a very early age.

I also had the benefit of having a wife who happened to be a spiritual healer, It was her guide who got the doctor out to see me before I was sent into the hospital.

It turned out to be on the Friday 9th November which meant I would miss being part of the remembrance parade which I had attended for many years and enjoyed being back again with old friends and family to enjoy the social event afterwards.

As I lay there in a lot of pain and not being able to even sit up due to the leg being wrapped in cold water badges in way to taken the temperature down and having two large fans blowing over me I soon realised I would not be able to attend the hospital chapel on the 11th November which made me feel very low and very sad, as I consider that one thing to be my way for me to pay tribute and thanks to those poor men who had given there life's for us so we could have what we got today.

Well Sunday the 11th came and it saw a great change with my leg but I was still unable to attend the service and while the 11th hour came I with the nurse looking after me was took the minute silence, I prayed that the spirits would show me a sign of some sorts that they were aware of it meant to me.

Strange things happen when your looking for hope and encouragement in life and as it happened a poppy from no ware came floating down on me from above, At first I could not believe it and the nurse was gobsmacked to.

We both looked all around us to see where it had come from but to no avail, it was the blessing from god that I needed.

I knew from that then I would not lose my leg and I would soon be on my feet again and back home with my wife Linda.

I left hospital on 18th November and when the 11th of comes around while standing there in that minute of silence I reflect on that day the poppy that came from no where.

The Football Pools Win ?:

In the December of 1992 I had only been married a short while to my wife Linda and we had her daughter living with us who was 5 months pregnant and sleeping on our sofa as at the time she was going through a very un-happy time suffering from illness and usual things attached to a mother to be has to deal with.

We use to do the football pools together with the other daughter in a four way split which ment we would share the winnings four ways.

As christmas was getting closer and money being very tight we were nearly broke between us meaning it wasn't looking good for a jolly Christmas.

We were all on our last pennies and looking at a very hard time ahead.

I scrapped enough money to do the pools that week and as usual never thought any more about it.

Two weeks before this point I had been involved in a accident which meant I was of work sick and with little pay coming in, as we struggled along I asked my guide for help and he told me not worry as spirit looked after its own, never lose faith in me he said.

We were told by him money would come through the door ? I thought to myself is this spirits way of having a joke at a very bad time.

During the following days this got a little better with my neck out of it's brace and me being able to move around more as the healing I was getting from Linda's guide was doing the trick as well as the pain killers and I was now able to go to work.

The Thursday can of that week and while I was at work I kept thinking about what my guide kept telling me about the money coming through the door it got at me so much I stopped listen to him.

When I went home that night Linda gave me the post and she was about to rip up the usual junk mail when I spotted a Littlewoods football pools envelope with my name on, I said stop don't rip that up it say's winner on it, It was a good job I did stop Linda, as inside was a cheque for £4084.00 pounds we had won between us.

I put a note in the table "You owe me 66p for the football pools, but I owe you £1021.00 each".

Now I know where the meaning when my spirit guide said money through the door came in.

It turned out to be a very good Christmas after all.

Since then I never doubted my guide again even though we have had problems with money and being close to getting to poor spirit has made sure we get enough to get by on.
