What can you do if you lose something important? Can prayer make a difference? Can prayer help you find it again?
I share in this video what my wife and I did when she lost her diamond out among hundreds of acres of sand dunes.
To material sense, all looked hopeless. But to spiritual sense, a different picture emerged.
This video was filmed at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah, while camping there in October of 2020.
Dear Evan…what a lovely demonstration for you both! My first thought is that you never gave up letting Divine Mind reveal the whereabouts of your diamond…indeed you expected the right outcome.
My second thought is that most days you direct us to embrace finding the priceless jewels of looking at everything through a spiritual sense of harmony and healing! I’m very grateful for your continual help and sharing❣️
Thanks, dear Evan, for sharing this wonderful demonstration of divine Mind’s knowing where each of its ideas is. I love your videos!
Thank you Evan, that was such a wonderful story! You’re so inspiring and you never gave up, which is a huge message in itself. Now if we can apply this same idea to all the millions of lost children in the world and in the underground tunnels. Mind knows where all of His children are at and we can rejoice in that fact. I’m looking forward to the day that all these precious ones will be reunited with their families, just as your dear Kathy’s diamond was reunited in its ring setting. Thank you again!
Tyke, thank you for this reminder to be embracing the world in our prayers!
A really beautiful demonstration of the Science of Christ! Thank you to both you and Kathy!
Woow, this is a Diamond of a lesson, Mind is All ! 🙂 Thank you Evan
Good lesson in determination and sticking to Truth. Thank you.
Yes! Radical alliance on Truth. That’s what Evan does very well. Such a beautiful example of what Jesus had. He counseled “Continue in my word, … and ye shall know the truth.”. That’s exactly what was revealed. Evan obeyed. He picked it up. So beautiful!
I’ve been dealing with loss of another kind, and thinking of products, and material remedies I could use, thinking this loss may not be worthy of prayer or important enough. This video was so very helpful! ALL IS an idea in Mind! Thank you and Im so happy you found the diamond.
I was just pondering along the lines of what Shirley said, that these ideas Evan has shared may be applied to many scenarios in life, including the belief of body.
Evan, u r a pearl of great price! Thank u for your inspirations. They r wonderful and so very appreciated.
Great demonstration Evan. Thank you for sharing it. Imagine how many things are hidden in those sand dunes? I was imagining how would you find a small diamond in an ocean of sand?
Would the sun sparkle off of it and reflect upward? Would one retrace the many steps they took along the way? But applying the truths and putting the whole matter in mind where all is known led to the diamond’s location. Right where it was.
A diamond signifies something precious. Peace and confidence, health and happiness are diamonds of a kind. Many forsake their wealth to attain.
The diamonds I possess are loving thoughts, My wife and companion. My children. My grand children and their families. My church and it’s members. Spirit View each weekday morning. The uplifting presentations and comments found here. And the list has only just begun.
I don’t keep greeting cards very often, but I do keep cards of thanks. I had a drawer full of them. Each one a jewel. I read them occasionally to give me a smile. They were since taken away. I miss them but the memory of kind remarks and gratitude remain in mind. How I love the senders.
Be always aware of finding a diamond in the rough. The last one of significance I heard about was laying in plain sight. (1936_) It was a significant size but looked like a stone, quartz perhaps. They have been described as a piece of glass with something smeared on it. Fortunate the finder knew what it was, otherwise it may have never been found. Many they say are laying around everywhere. Just look and know what you see before you.
When you smile and someone smiles back, that a jewel.
I helped a woman with snow removal a couple weeks ago. She brought out a dozen cookies. And a hug! No social distancing there! No mask either! She has 7 children, who has time for formalities?
A precious book, Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Cronwell, is a short and easy read. Time well spent while searching for your “Diamonds” of comfort and joy!
Love, David
David, here is another thank you to add to your collection. I always appreciate your comments and find them rich and uplifting. Grateful for your depth of wisdom and grateful to be part of this community. Each person on Spiritview is a diamond that can’t be lost!
A truly wonderful demonstration, Evan. Although it has scarcely the same personal significance, nevertheless a similar experience occurred to my young son and me one time when we were away from our home territory.
We were attending a German Christian Science Summer Camp to fulfil different offices and we had just arrived and were being introduced to those who had arrived earlier. When we were introduced to a small group of boys who were playing with a Frisbee my son remembered we had brought a version which is donut shaped rather than the old style “cap” shaped style these boys were using. He was eager to share so we did that and later left the group with the Frisbee so as to unpack our gear before everyone gathered for an evening meal together.
The donut shaped frisbee has different flight characteristics than the older style frisbee and soon enough it got caught high up in the branches of some slender trees so the boys came to me, rather shame faced to say they had lost the frisbee we had loaned them.
Knowing that these children were all of Sunday School age and that likely they knew their Bibles and the associated concepts we gain from Christian Science, I shared with them some of the ideas they had probably learned about the infinity of Truth and Mind; that these were synonyms for the almighty and omnipresent power we summarize as God; that each of us had direct access to this Mind and Truth because each of us expressed the ever-presence of God that therefore this Truth would reveal itself. We didn’t have to struggle and wrestle to find the “best” of any of the many solutions that might present, such as ropes and ladders and all the other paraphernalia of a human solution. I said that if they quieted any concerns they might have Truth would reveal itself in a solution. I suggested that they should each forgive themselves for any appearance of a mistake or thoughtless act and that when they had quieted such thoughts an idea would reveal itself.
Well, each of the boys then left to be quiet with their thoughts and it was not long before the youngest of the group who had been playing with the Frisbee came to me with the Frisbee in his hand! Not only was this boy the youngest of the group, he was by far the shortest in stature and knowing where the boys had pointed out the Frisbee had become lodged, I knew there was no way even this youngster could have climbed these tall sapling trees to reach where the Frisbee was caught.
The youngster was full of happiness that the Frisbee had been released from its high perch and he was returning it to me as the adult who had been instrumental in loaning it in the first placed. I of course thanked him and had him tell me how it had occurred that the Frisbee had been released from its high perch. He told me that it came to him to climb in amongst the closely packed thin trunks of the clumped tree and wriggle. This had evidently done the trick. So I sent him, with the Frisbee, to share his evident joy with the other boys and continue to enjoy the Frisbee with them, which of course he eagerly did. Later in the week I reminded him of the occurrence and he was happy to share with the entire group this episode of restoration at the Wednesday testimony period the camp directors had included in the program for the week.
Evan,
Thank you so much for your post today about “material loss” – when my boyfriend and I (now husband) were playing catch with baseball mitts in a field with very tall grass. I had a small diamond ring on my finger, when I pulled the glove off my, my ring fell off. I got down on my knees to look for my ring in the tall grass and needless to say I couldn’t find it. My boyfriend came over to where I was standing and he asked me where exactly I was standing and I pointed to the flat grass. After a bit of time went by, I said never mind that it was no loss, and my boyfriend said no, let me pray about it. He moved a little further over in the grass and reached down in the grass and picked up my ring! That was my introduction to Christian Science and I’m so grateful for it!
Beautiful story you shared of trusting in good.
When serving in the Air Force I and my wife would often take the young troops to enjoy a day tubbing on a nearby river. One young man, recently married, lost his wedding band in the rushing water and yelled out “God – – – – -“.
My wife instantly replied “No God find it”..
At first I thought she was nuts to expect to find a tiny ring in all this rushing water. Then I instantly changed my thinking to “All things are possible to God”..
Sure enough within seconds the young man reached in the water and came up with the little golden ring. What joy we all felt in the power of one simple truth voiced by an honest heart.
That’s a beautiful experience, Evan! Never give up is the message!
I have had similar experiences with a lost earring in a huge swimming pool and the sapphire, which fell out of my engagement ring, and I found them both! What joy it is to know that nothing good can ever be lost.
Wow, such a powerful explanation and demonstration of an eternal spiritual fact, thank you! It has all embracing applications and ramifications, and I’m applying this truth to whatever comes to thought as loss – health, harmony, relationships, opportunities, “things,” etc. Please know my gratitude for your generous and inspiring prayerful sharing in so many ways over the years and their blessings to all.
I am grateful for your healing message! And… I am grateful that you and your wife have her ring back. How wonderful. A helpful healing to me… that something cannot be lost/or missing out on- my family spends time in the water together-surfing. It is quality time together in nature.
Meanwhile…I have been helping my mom out more as she needs more of me-including companionship. I was feeling like I was missing out on my family time- in the ocean. I was feeling like I was missing out on the love, the companionship and closeness with my immediate family. Then the thought came- that I could never be left out of love- because love is spiritual- and God is love. Love is not determined by the amount of time that I spend with someone. Love is spiritual and cannot be quantified- if I spend time with my family Or or if I am not present and helping mom- does not determine the love that we share. God is love- and love is present with us each moment. This was helpful to my thought because I knew I was needed with mom but was missing my family- and concerned that I was missing out. I am grateful for your message Evan—for this communities comments and shared articles, and for Christian Science.
Thanks for this application to suggestions that when we are helping and present with someone, we may be needed elsewhere or absent from others we love and wish to help. Super helpful.
And I have had lovely demonstrations of things found when thought is in its right place with God.
Such wonderful testimonies. Thank you Evan for sharing this inspiring post. So very helpful.
Evan,
What stood out in this was all the material looking did not prosper but as soon as you listened to God you found the diamond. It truly never was lost. God knew where that idea was the whole time! Lovely demonstration!
I love your motive in telling the Truth, regardless of the outcome, because it was a lie. Thank you Evan!
So glad you found the diamond! However what really impressed upon my thought was your quick, strong and most importantly, UNWAVERING conviction of your prayer throughout the experience. It wasn’t a long wordy complicated prayer. It was simple and you stood by it without budging. Another thing I noticed that I’ve been finding success with is that at some point you also let it go in that maybe it was time to give it up in spiritual sense for something else that God has in Mind to fulfill or teach spirirually. But, even if that was true so was your original prayer, “nothing is lost in Divine Mind.”
Many years ago while living on the Oregon Coast I lost an earring that I had designed and made, so was very unique. I don’t even remember if I knew I had lost it in the sand, but just that I had lost it. A handful of years later while walking through the sand dunes one morning I looked down and saw it sitting there on top of the sand. Of course, why not?
“Look where it is!” I love that.
My son in law lost his wedding ring in a creek while Gold Panning the day after he and my daughter were married. Many people looked for a few hours in the rushing water and found nothing.They had to leave to go home. My daughter came to me , knowing ” My mom knows how to PRAY ! ” We couldn’t go back for a week as it was a campground and people were camping nearby. We prayed all week , I affirmed that ” Nothing is lost in Spirit ! “. A week later, Her husband went with a metal detector and a few tools to look for the ring but he didn’t need them .He immediately went to a spot. 3 digs with a shovel and there it was ! What my daughter feared was perhaps a bad Omen on her wedding was actually a great story to tell for years of God’s Blessing on them and the necessity of prayer. (Also,as a bonus he found a lovely Gold nugget to later make into a necklace to commemorate their wedding day! )
Oh dear-SpiritView-Family! We are SO blessed to have found Mind’s sweet Reflection in Evan!! What a sparkling Treasure!! Mind is revealing SO much Good through Evan and His
(Mind’s!!) SpiritView! Let’s be clear on this…Really GET the divine Message! It might be tempting to personalize what he is but this would be a mistake. We are ALL Mind’s Wonderful Reflections! We all have equal spiritual sense, spiritual abilities! Mind is infinite, All!
(This message is for me, too, oh yes.)
Evan, your video made me cry in joy. NOT for the beautiful diamond, tho that is a lovely unfoldment of Good, but for the Wondrous spiritual Lesson!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Evan, thank you for this demonstration. My wife and I have used this idea countless times to rediscover where this or that items that is important at the time to our lives. But nothing as significant as that. Truly wonderful example.
Evan, thank you so much! I love that when you heard “pick it up” you were obedient, even though the diamond just looked like a pebble at the time. Such food for thought!
Your beautiful demonstration reminds me of the wonderful experience my then teenaged daughter and I had many years ago. For Valentine’s Day, I had given her tickets to a Whitney Houston concert to be held in our city several months from then. When the evening of the concert came, we were rushing to get out the door when she frantically said she couldn’t find the tickets. I put down the temptation to blame, and we turned to God who loves us and knows all. In only a few minutes, Aly emerged from her room with the tickets. She had felt led to remove completely her dresser’s top drawer. The tickets had become wedged behind the drawer. We rejoiced at the evidence of our Father-Mother’s ever present love and care! Great concert!
Thank you Evan for your uplifting and inspiring Views from Spirit each day …
To ad to these inspiring demonstrations, one day, some years ago, I happened to notice that my wedding ring was not on my finger! This was perplexing because I never took it off! As did Evan, I immediately declared that divine Mind knew where it was, and that all right ideas were never lost and always in their right place. Of course I looked everywhere, but to no avail. Every time the thought came that it was gone, I countered that suggestion with the truth that nothing is lost in Mind. About a week later, I was removing the dirty laundry from our laundry basket for washing, and saw something glitter. There it was!! I was so grateful, but It was not a surprise, since I knew all along that Mind would reveal it.
Thank you Evan for the priceless example you set. For the joy, love, conviction and confidence that you consistently reflect. And thank you David for your beautiful thoughts on what true treasures are.
Rejoice! Blessings abound!
For quite some time I have gone to the quiet sanctuary to speak with Mind when I am not finding something, and know that all I have to do is BE Quiet and Mind will inform me. EVERY TIME Mind has quietly taken me to ”where it is”– no searching, no arguments, just Mind’s exact GPS. I thank Evan for sharing his and Kathy’s experience, and for every one of my fellow SpiritViewers’ beautiful, evocative contributions. So many lessons are confirmed and offered here in such humble and heartfelt ways. Our togetherness is such a joy to me. Love to all!
Loved “Mind’s GPS.” Thank you Annie!
Oh Evan, what a wonderful story! It brought tears to my eyes! I’ve had the same scenario happen many times, something I need or love completely lost. When I finally put my hands in my lap and listen for God’s guidance, I’ll hear a suggestion, or my head will turn a certain way that I hadn’t looked before, or even in a place I’d been looking, and there it is. This happens frequently actually with my eye glasses. I’m seeing right now it’s time to see that I don’t need them anymore!
Thank you Evan for this lovely demonstration of the power of Mind to guide us always. Your story reminds me of my mother’s experience when I was a teenager. We were both teaching swimming to Brownies at the local swimming pool. It was an artificial pool that looked like a pond. Half of the pond was surrounded by sand and the other half was surrounded by grass. My mother had given her ring to a friend to watch and somehow the ring was lost. She search the area. After camp we went back and searched some more another and then we got back a third time and searched at the rink adopt me found. She talk to me about how God knew exactly where the ring was and that He would lead her to find it. The guards at the pool looked for the next day when they rake the sand but it was not found. The next afternoon a little girl came to our house she was one of the Brownies. She had found the ring while playing at the pool. God knew where it was the whole time and God directed us to find it.
As a girl my mother gave me a ring that her uncle had designed for her when she was a child. It took great love for this lovely ring to be made. At the time my mother was living in South Africa and the uncle that designed the rain was living in London. So it took a lot of communication for the ring to be made. Love was definitely guiding all involved. While gardening one day as an adult, the ring fell off my finger. I looked for it. The garden was huge and I had a no idea where to find it. I thought about all the love that went in to that ring from my grandparents and my great uncle. That love could never be lost. I decided to treasure the love and not to worry about the ring. The next summer I was out gardening again and look down there with the ring. I remember feeling hugged by Love.
I am going to apply this to the suggestion that my dog and I have lost some mobility. Since there is no loss in Mind we both should have the freedom to walk as God made us.
Decades ago, my young husband went into the ocean to swim with his wallet tucked in his swimsuit pocket. When he came out of the water the wallet was not in the pocket. We remained calm, and just knew that God was in control of all ideas. I heard an angel thought to walk down the beach in one direction. Maybe 50 yards along or more, there was the wallet just lying on the sand at the water’s edge. A quiet sense of great joy and gratitude followed.
Thank you, Evan and all!
More important is the love which motivated the diamond cannot
be lost. So many instances-apply to the same truth. The all -seeing,
all -knowing Mind (God) is always there to help.
My husband had an artificial eye lost in pen bled beach while swimming.
The same Truth was applied and a diver from across the bay,who we did not even know found the orface which resembles a pebble very much..
This happened the same day. Needllesss to say how grateful we were!
Thanks Eva n for your reminder of this important Truth.
Thank You Evan and Thank You Everyone for sharing your stories of realizing everything is always in its right place. I too have had numerous instances of Mind directing me to find things when tempted to believe they were “lost”. I also have found it can be a struggle to stop “frantic” human searching and trust Mind to inform you where to look. But when I have gotten caught up in that mentality, after I exhaust myself in fruitless searching and finally become willing to trust wholeheartedly in Mind to lead me, inevitably I hear a message from God, at the right time, that leads me to the item I previously viewed as “lost”.
I’d also like to share (I’ve shared this previously on SpiritView so I’ll be brief) that I once was suffering from what I think would be diagnosed medically as a pinched nerve that was so severe it caused weakness in my arm in addition to a severe pain. But when the truth of “everything in Mind is always in its right place” came to me, almost instantly I found freedom from the pinched nerve symptoms. I reasoned that if every idea in Mind is always in its right place, nothing could get out of place to get “pinched”. And again, that simple truth, realized, quickly and completely destroyed all of the symptoms.
Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring story, Evan, but thank you, especially, for sharing your clear thinking and affirmative knowing that stood behind it, enabling you to locate it as you did. You never gave in to the temptation of loss. THERE ARE NO FRAGMENTARY IDEAS IN MIND!!
I have had many demonstrations of finding objects that seemed lost. Before Christmas I wanted to mail a small gift to my friend and it was not where I thought it should be. I looked everywhere and finally became quiet knowing that Nothing is lost in divine Mind and giving this gift is a loving and right idea so I couldn’t have misplaced it. It came to me to walk back into the den and there it was in plain sight.. I gratefully wrapped it up and got it to the Post office smiling at another proof of divine Mind at work. Another time I had a non CS friend who is very dear call me and was upset because she couldn’t find her car keys and had been looking for them for two days. I immediately knew they couldn’t be lost and went to her house. I stood in her kitchen declaring the Truth about the situation to myself and assuring her we would find them. It came to me to look at a small bookcase cabinet where she said she always set the keys on top and saw the tip something shiny along side of some books and papers on a lower shelf. I reached down as she said I looked there. I pulled out her keys and she was amazed and said how did you know. I explained to her and she was so grateful that I helped her.
Divine Mind knows whatever needs to come forward in any situation where we need to know something. I am so grateful that we have this science to help us every day whether it’s a lost item or just how to take care of any business at hand. God has proved this in my experience so many times that I have quit taking the material route of looking or worrying frantically and taken the quiet route of entering the closet and knowing the truth of the situation.
Thank you Evan and other comments today and every day. I get so much out of this SV blog. and vlogs.
wow. lots of stories of losing things and finding them
I am amazed at Evan’s tenacity to stick to the truth. When I can’t find something I do declare that nothing is lost and that the one Mind knows where all its ideas are. I always think of the first CS article I read which was God’s Law of Adjustment- that all of God’s ideas have their rightful place in Mind.
I have one bracelet that I think my then 3 year old son buried in our backyard or hid somewhere in
our house, God knows where it is and I wait for it to be revealed!
I read this post earlier this morning and was very touched by it . . . and now I am being angel-nudged to come back and leave my comment. Grace is telling me that it’s important that I claim my experience as a healing. My experience of losing the diamond in my engagement ring is very similar to Evan’s, except for winter, snow, and multiple trips around town on a wintry day, versus sand dunes. I”ll be brief here–my first thought when winter sunshine shone across my hand and I saw the engagement ring without its diamond, was to reaffirm that that ring had represented love in all its tenderness. and Love and its expressions canNOt be lost. I spent a couple hours retracing my steps around town and calling places I’d visited . . . as a result of the last call, the person I”d been with looked down at a table made from wooden slats, and saw something in the crack between two slats . . . yes, the diamond. Several years later, my husband left our marriage, and I had much much healing to walk through because of that heartbreak. Over and over, God/Love/Grace told me that my mission on earth was to LOVE . . . and that no matter what happened humanly to that human marriage, nothing could stop me from fulfilling my purpose of loving. A few years after the divorce, a dear friend mentioned that she’d lost her engagement ring. I was able to make her a gift of mine, and she was delighted. So, among the many lessons I ‘ve learned from this, is the reminder to never outline how a healing can take place . . . and, that nothing can ever stop us from fulfilling our God-given mission. <3
So glad you came back to comment. So goo to hear from you. Some thoughts that you shared were very helpful to me. Blessings. (=
DIVINE MIND KNOWS EVERYTHING IN ITS PROPER PLACE including people. Tyke has reminded that Mind knows where all her/his children are at. We can all actively support this idea in the effort uniting separated children with their families, their parents. Thank you Evan for introducing this idea that nothing is lost in Divine Mind.
God bless you- every one of you beginning with Evan!, I constantly misplace things and have found every one(eventually!). I used to panic and I’ve learned to just hold to the Truth and refuse to criticize myself and although it may take a while, or I may wonder how it got THERE, I find it and am very grateful. As Mind’s idea I cannot be made to believe I am thoughtless. I loved and am grateful for each testimony and for Evan’s
openness and willingness to share, what blessings
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful demonstration!
Thank you so very much Evan for giving us your clear thoughts how you prayed to know that nothing gets lost in God’s eternal kingdom. I often found things by just kowing that God knows exactly where that seemingly lost thing is. But your prayer was much deeper than just declaring that God knows where it is!
Evan said that that Diamond is a spiritual idea and God knows where His ideas are, always. The lovely thing is, that when I drove to church this evening I not only knew that God is on my driver’s seat but also that the car itself is a spiritual idea. And a spiritual idea bears not a single error . So the car is totally safe under Gid’s guidance. It does so good to always learn a bit more spirituality, to learn more about God and His universe. Thank you Evan ! And thank you that you persisted on the Truth and it’s perfect guidance to find the diamond also to the joy of Kathy – haha – very lovely!♡
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing, Evan!
I am a day late watching the vlog and reading all the wonderful demonstrations from the commenters, but I want to add my voice anyway. When I I was still quite young, my family and another family, also Christian Scientists, were vacationing on Cape Cod. We enjoyed a wonderful day on one of the wide beaches there, but towards the end of the day my Mom realized her ring was not in my Dad’s sunglasses case where she had put it for safe keeping. I’m sure there was much prayer as well as sifting with a colander all the sand around our beach blanket. But no ring. I’m told the four adults prayed long into the night and in the morning I walked with my Dad back to the beach. We hadn’t been there long when he looked down and saw the ring! The beachcombers had been there, it was no where near where the family had sat the day before, so no logical reason for looking down at that spot. But there it was right on top of the sand! That demonstration of divine Mind’s omniscience has stayed with me throughout my life and I have leaned on it many times as I’ve endeavored to not go humanly rushing around trying to find something “lost”.
Thanks to Evan and to all the commenters yesterday!
Thanks. I have a totally different situation. But the solution of remaining calm and totally assured is truly the answer. All is in God’s hands. What I need, cannot be kept from me.
Thank you so very much for sharing this, Evan ! What I most love about your testimony is that you declared that there are no material things ! …. that all is Mind and Mind’s idea and that we do not live in a material universe whith chance and risks. We live in divine Mind where everything is a thought. We live just now a spiritual life.
And thank you to all of you, for sharing all your experiences. I am so grateful 🙂 .
My mother told me that one time she was working in the garden she lost one of her favorite diamond rings. She looked in the dirt and couldn’t find it. She also knew that Divine Mind would reveal to her where it was. Well, fast forward five years later, she was working in the same garden and she found the ring! She told me that over those five years whenever she thought about the ring she would remember that God knew where it was and He would tell her. Also, time isn’t a factor in finding something.
My husband misplaced his wedding ring and was quite upset about it. I reassured him that we would find it. He didn’t remember at all when he took it off. He’s in the military and he has to take his ring off all the time. One day when I was folding laundry, it came so clear to me to check the dryer. Well, I went down and found the ring inside the dryer. He had put the ring in his pants pocket. Divine Mind knows ALL!
You are a very good thinker. You understand CS. Thank you.
Thank you Evan and everyone else for their wonderful demonstrations of finding things with Mind’s instructions and help. I also have had experiences of finding things I thought I’d lost. Last fall I was in Denver shopping. I’d gone to several stores–The Home Depot, grocery stores, shoe stores. When I got back to the house I was staying in, I discovered I’d lost a gold necklace. I kept asking where do I start looking. I could have lost that necklace in any of those many stores. I did ask God for directions and help. I had given up on finding that necklace, and so a couple of days later as I was leaving to drive home, Divine Mind told me to check in the shoe store. It was sort of out of my way, but I obeyed that voice. I walked into that shoe store and ask the clerk if she had found the necklace. She recognized me. She knew exactly where I was sitting and said, “Yes” she had the necklace. Wow. I thanked God for the guidance. Of course I was grateful to get the necklace back, BUT the lesson I learned that day was that Divine Mind didn’t give up on me.
