I'm Here "The Dimes"

Over 20 years ago, when I worked in retail I started randomly finding dimes. At first, I wasn't aware of how often it was happening. One day, I found one and thought, these dimes end up in the most odd places. Places that I really shouldn't even notice. They'd be highlighted as if a spotlight was shining on it. 

I'd see them under the shelving units at work. In the parking lot. In odd places in my car. At another job, I would see them under the vending machine. While out and about through town, in the most random places. It was to the point that after sharing with someone about my dimes story if they were with me when I saw one and picked it up, they'd ask, "Is that a dime? How did you see that?"

It had been happening on and off for years. Eventually, I'd ask God why would I find them for months and then months I wouldn't. What does it mean? 

It was maybe 5 years after that question that I got my answer. I was restocking the shelves at the store I worked at and a sudden wave of God's presence swept over me. God impressed upon my heart the poem, "Footprints in the Sand".

For those that may not know, "Footprints in the Sand" was a poem about someone who while walking on the beach, was questioning God's presence in their life. God replied and let them know that when they saw 2 sets of footprints, he was walking with them. They challenged God and asked where was he when there were challenging times. Side note: I say, moments to grow through. Anyway, God replied and said the times you only saw one set of footprints that's when I was carrying you. 

Y'all, remembering the poem and visualizing the imagery washed over me and I started weeping. Right there in the store. I finally got myself together and thought about what was taking place in my life at that time. I was enduring through a rough marriage. (Now I am happily remarried). I wasn't finding dimes at this time, but this was the perfect time I  receive the answer as to why dimes. He was carrying me through it. 

The times I would find them, he was/is walking beside me and I am where I should be. For either occasion, it signifies God never leaves nor forsakes. For me, these are God winks. God cares about us and I believe if he does not send the messages through human vessels he will find other ways to communicate with us. 

That was around 2008. It is now Oct. 2023. 

I was vacuuming this evening and I saw this (pictured below) and thought, at first, something got in the house (we live in Florida LOL). From where I was standing it was kind of tucked into the carpet. I walked up to it carefully because who doesn't like critters and creepy crawlies? Me. 

I see a dime. I just smiled and decided to grab my phone to take a picture. I've only documented by camera 2 or 3 times over the years. I may have written about it once before. This time I wanted to document it here on the blog. Yes, I have faith, but who doesn't need reassurance from God sometimes? 

However he sends it.
