A few nights ago I got up and walked to the bathroom, past my digital clock which said it was 3 a.m.  When I went back to bed, I rolled onto my side where I noticed through the window that the motion light was shining on the fence outside.  And the clock now said 1 a.m!

I stared at the clock incredulously.  Since it’s a digital clock which displays the number one as a straight line, it’s highly improbable that I could mistake that straight line for a number three.

And what critter was on my property that caused the motion light to turn on?  There are a few feral cats in the neighborhood so, I didn’t think much about this detail.

For the last few days, I’ve asked Father what this meant and He has reminded me of several other unexplainable events in my life.  I had not pursued those answers.  Now I wanted to.

As a result, my perspective changed and I began thinking in terms of less mystery and more practical need.  Now I could ask the question differently.  “What was the circumstance that required time to go backward and the motion light to come on?”

Almost immediately the scenario played out on my imagination screen.

The Angels that live with us here were simply protecting us from an intruder that needed to leave.

A couple days ago, we received a reverse 911 call that a big cat had been spotted in the vicinity and everyone should be extra vigilant with pets.

Mountain lions and other wild cats rarely come down here and yet we live in close proximity.  So we advised our daughter about going outside especially at night, without first triggering one of our many motion lights around the property.

But I didn’t connect the two situations until I asked the right question.

Now I could see the big cat come onto our property and climb a tree near our bedroom.  Coming in from a southwest direction would not trigger the motion light in that section.  Then the cat made itself comfortable on a limb above and settled in for the hunt.

But our Angels saw the danger and determined the quickest way to roust him away.  It was to turn time back to 1 a.m. when he first walked onto the property.  Then they triggered the lights at that moment to startle him.  That would make him nervous enough to move on down the road rather than settling in our tree.

I don’t have any proof that this is what happened.  But my heart is calm.  I know we are protected and I’ve seen proof of that before.

How does time turn back?  I don’t know.  It’s a scientific principle beyond my understanding.  But I don’t discount it simply because I don’t know how it works.  I know it does, and I know my Angels understand it, and my Father who’s Spirit lives inside me knows.

The whole situation was not as mysterious as I thought.  My Father simply loves me.

Thank you for sharing my journey.  Blessings on yours.
