Signs Around Town
Last week, I had to drop something off at an office across town Along the way, I changed my mind twice at the very last moment as to which route I was going to take. Both times, I made a quick turn and then thought to myself, "Why did you just change your mind like that?" Eventually, I found myself at a stoplight, and noticed a building across the street. It had a big sign, "Jacobs Glass." Of course I thought of Jacob right away and smiled. I also thought about how I had never seen that place before.
Then I noticed some words painted on one of the windows of the building. One of the words was "mirrors." My mind went to the verse in First Corinthians that says, "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." I thought about how wonderful it will be in Heaven to see Jesus face to face, and when I get to do that, I will also get to see Jacob face to face.
When I arrived at the office to which I was headed, my heart grew very heavy. I realized that the last time I had been to that office, I had Jacob with me. He even came inside and waited patiently as I spoke with someone at the counter. I called out his name as I sat in the car before going in. I told him how much my heart was hurting and how much I missed him. After taking care of matters at the office, it took me a long time to pull out of the parking lot. Traffic was very heavy. Once I did get out on the road and approached the first intersection, I was stunned to pull up next to a truck that said, "Jacobs Glass." I started laughing and said outloud, "OK, Jacob! I get it! You're here. But what does the 'glass' have to do with anything?" The answer came to me instantly!!!! Not in an audible voice, but more telepathically, if that makes sense. Eight months after Jacob died, I found that he had programmed into his phone a greeting that said, "The Glass Is Full!" Jacob was reminding me that "The Glass Is Full!" is important. Earlier that morning, I had seen a picture of somebody with a t-shirt that said, "The glass is half-full" and it made me think of Jacob's greeting on his phone. To be reminded of it again seemed like more than coincidence.
At the next stoplight, I heard inside my head, "Look over there at the back of that van." I turned and noticed that there were all kinds of bumper stickers on the backend of the van. The only one I looked at and had time to read said, "Behold, I am coming very soon!" To be honest, I wasn't sure what to make of that, but if Jesus is coming soon, I say Hallelujah!
My next stop was Target. I walked toward the store and noticed three young people walking across the parking lot. One looked so much like Jacob that I could not help but stare at him. I finally headed home and was pleasantly surprised to see a Honda S-2000 the exact same color as Jacob's pass by. On the causeway, a truck passed me with a license plate I could not recognize as one of Georgia's. The tag read "CAP J". Since I frequently referred to Jacob simply as "J" it made me think of him. It was an afternoon filled with Jacob, and it was great!
