Not only do you get the chance to see how someone else handles challenges similar to the ones you face. You also get that much-needed reminder that you\u2019re not alone in this world, even during hard times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">We\u2019ve written before about how <\/span><em style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Mysterious Ways<\/em><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\"> can <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/blogs\/mysterious-ways\/how-mysterious-ways-makes-a-difference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make a difference<\/a> in our readers\u2019 lives. <\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">We sift through hundreds of ideas and submissions before finally settling on the exact contents of each issue, and time after time we receive letters from readers telling us how a story we\u2019ve published reached them <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/blogs\/mysterious-ways\/how-a-mysterious-ways-made-a-difference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just when they needed it<\/a><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Like Donna M. Grass of Broomfield, Colorado. She could hardly believe it when she read \u201cOne Last Gift\u201d in our February\/March issue. It\u2019s the story of Beverly Waters, who received a piece of \u201cjunk mail\u201d that turned out to be a <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/everyday-miracles-comfort-hope\/one-last-gift\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gift from her late husband<\/a><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">. Donna could relate all too well:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\">\u201cAs I read Beverly\u2019s story, I smiled. Memories came flooding back. Two and a half months after my husband Robert\u2019s death, the military honor guard and a host of friends helped celebrate Robert\u2019s life with the burial of his ashes and a luncheon. That night I sat alone at home, sadly going through the sympathy cards and other mail which had arrived that day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">\u201cI received one loving card from friends along with a $100 bill. They instructed me to use the money for something I could use while memorializing Robert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">\u201cI reached the end of my condolence messages, and my heart almost stopped when I noticed a piece of mail<\/span>\u2013<span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">normally classified as \u2018junk\u2019<\/span>\u2013<span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">from the Danbury Mint. It had been mixed in with the other cards. \u2018Robert, tell Donna that she means the world to you,\u2019 the card read. There was an offer for a sterling silver heart pendant, emblazoned with a dozen red rubies and tiny diamonds, along with an inscription on the back: \u2018Donna, I loved you then, I love you still, I always have, I always will. Robert.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Donna knew exactly what to do with the money her friends had just sent. The cost of the pendant? $99.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Shirley J. Storey of Rogue River, Oregon, wrote in to say how much she could identify with Loraine Standish, whose story \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/inspiration\/mysterious-ways\/the-smile-sent-from-heaven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Smile Sent from Heaven<\/a>\u201d <\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">was in our October\/November 2014 issue. Like Loraine, Shirley\u2019s beloved daughter suffered from lifelong alcoholism:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"463\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-42345\" alt=\"Michele's beautiful smile.\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blog_smile_350.png\" style=\"width: 350px; height: 463px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; float: right;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blog_smile_350.png 350w, https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/blog_smile_350-340x450.png 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>\u201cMy daughter Michele also had a beautiful smile. When she was in her 20s, she got hooked on alcohol. After several years of alcohol abuse, she quit drinking. She became completely devoted to the Bible and even attended church with me and my second husband, Mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\">\u201cEight years later, though, the alcohol got hold of her again, and for the next few years we didn\u2019t know where she was or what she was doing. We prayed for her constantly. I feared receiving a phone call out of the blue or a knock at the door, letting me know she had died.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\">\u201cMichele did get clean one more time, but not for long. She resumed drinking, and this time there was no coming back. One night, I finally got that dreaded phone call: Michele was gone. She was only 40 years old.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;\">\u201cThe Sunday after her death we were in church. During worship I remembered her being beside me, praising the Lord. The Lord immediately gave me a vision: Michele standing before him, her eyes open, her hands raised, praising him. I thank and praise him so much for that final vision, recognizing that she finally reached her place of healing\u2013in heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Has one of our articles ever touched you in a personal way? <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/submit-your-mysterious-ways-story-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Send us a letter<\/a><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">!
