Ok today was my Daddy's birthday and I sent him a happy birthday text that simply read Happy birthday daddy. I sent the text about 11am and this evening around 4pm I recieved a reply....that about stopped my heart!  I was shocked, surprised, and confused to say the least.....because my daddy passed away on April 1st this year of a sudden heart attack.

It simply said from Dad which is how I still have his number listed in my contacts. If course I teared up and had to excuse myself(we were talking to a friend at the time). I went inside and read the message...this is what it said.

From Dad:

2 Corinthians 1:3

Blessed be GOD, even the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the FATHER of mercies, and the GOD of all COMFORT, who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted. Have a BLESSED day.

Like I said, I was shocked and surprised. How did daddy send me a text, who could have sent it to me? It always says on the incoming text who it came from and the number like my dh's name or ds's name. And this one simply said dad, no other name or number, so it came from dad's number.

I thought for sure daddy or GOD had sent the message to me.......and I guess they did.

I called my oldest brother and told him about it. He told me that my youngest brother had called the number one day when he was haveing a hard day. And found out that a new lady now had that number. He said the lady had been saved and was a christian and that my brother had talked to her like an hour. She had told him he could keep the number and call her if he ever needed to. This I did not know about.

So I called that brother and told him, he said he had called dad's number one day and it just rang, he left a message for daddy and didn't think anything else about it. About a week later the lady called him back.

We are guessing that she sent me the text back for comfort. I texted her back and told her thank you, that I didn't know that someone had the number and that it was nice of her and a comfort, and a shocking surprise of course. She hasn't texted back yet.

I still think Daddy sent me a message to let me know he got the birthday wish I sent. And it makes me feel good.

The LORD works in mysterioius ways!

You had me in tears. God has such a way of giving us comfort and to know He has our loved ones safe with Him.

Bless this woman for her compassion and loving-kindness. Praise God He used her and that she was obedient to the call.

God bless you dear one....Happy Birthday to your dear daddy. May his legacy live on in his families hearts.
