Dimes from Heaven

Do you ever feel that God is not near whether everything is going sour in life and even when times are good?


A friend once asked for God to send her ladybugs when He thought of her.  Ladybugs flew in from all directions.  One time, they covered her whole house and kept sneaking in too.  Friends and strangers gave her ladybug ceramics or pillows.

Often, I felt that way too. “Where are you?” I lamented. One day, I asked God if He thought of me much.  Then I asked Him to send me dimes when He has been thinking of me.  

This is silly I thought.  Then the dimes started coming to me. I looked down and one was there in the grass.  Another flopped out of the dryer when I opened it.  One showed up in a public shower.  

There were never enough to make me rich, but enough to know He was thinking of me even when I did not realize it. 

A glance at my title on Google told me that a lot of people get dimes from heaven.  I never knew that.  I had heard of pennies from heaven, but not dimes.  I learned that their loved ones in heaven send them money and objects.

I asked God.  I did not ask my daughter, parents, or other loved ones up above.  I asked God. And He answered.

Have you experienced anything like that.  Do your departed loved ones, or God, send you remembrances?  Please comment and let everyone know.

  1. My Pop passed away January 22,2013, today is May 4th and today was the first time I saw a dime basically at my feet. I was cleaning out his closet in his spare room with my fiancé and sister n law, they both heard a sound come from the kitchen (I didn't) but a sound of like a dish was being moved, they both heard the same sound,I was smelling his ties that he use to wear, I turned around and at my feet on a small area rug sat a dime. I picked it up and automatically started to cry. Today was the first day I actually went to the cemetery to see him. Maybe he was happy that I went there to see him, I told him when he was still here that I wouldn't go to the cemetery, living is how I wanted to see him. I knew I would go at some point and he knew that no matter how much it hurt my soul that he was there, I would still go. I was telling my sister n law how much I missed him and bamm...shows up a dime. My grieving has been so unbearable some days that I wouldn't be able to get myself out of bed since my dad passed but tonight might have changed that.

  2. I look forward to finding dimes, in my heart of hearts my Mama is communicating with me. I wanted so much to communicate with her and now know when I find a penny, were doing just that. Today, I was a the market and struck up a conversation with a complete stranger, she gave me a lottery ticket that upon entry I would win 50,000 dollars, she told me she had plenty and gave it to me, when she was leaving, she picked up a dime on the floor of the market and said " a dime from heaven." that was the first time I ever heard that expression... When I find dimes, I think of the song- a penny for your thoughts and nickle for a kiss and a DIME if you tell me if you LOVE Me!.... Now I have two expressions to keep in my heart. I miss my MaMa.
