Signal Graces

Times are still tough and challenging especially in the office. I often feel very drain and demoralized everyday, and physically exhausted despite having a weekend break. My schedule has been very hectic, and I often do not have time to myself just to chill out and do the things i have to do or what to do. Lately I have been praying for direction and guidance in my life. Asking God if what I was doing is correct, especially more this weekend.

As he walked pass me, he just flashed me a toothy grin and gave me the thumbs up .

 

Ordinarily I would have dismissed such an action, as an eccentric old man (missing a few marbles) being friendly to everyone. But at the time when I was seeking direction and affirmation in my life, this was too coincidental to ignore.

 

Well as ”Signal Graces are signs sent by God to help us make the right decisions in life. Moses saw a burning bush as a sign from God, and other people received signs from God daily. Signal graces usually come about as subtle hints to help keep us moving in the right direction - these signs are truly gifts from God.” - http://www.erosary.com/faq/view/about-the-rosary/what-is-a-signal-grace?/120.htm
