Summary

"We had looked everywhere in my brother's house, for his Will. That's when I had the dream that helped me. Never, would I have looked in the garage."
__________
What if lost things are sometimes God's way of helping us find Him?
In this episode, Diana and Amy share remarkable stories of things missing and seemingly impossible to recover--a lost will revealed in a dream, treasured items found through prayer, and surprising help through the intercession of Saint Anthony of Padua.
But these stories become something more than "lost and found." They point to a playful, personal God. Maybe, when we find stuff, it's just God's way of helping us, find Him.

| 0:00.0 | I had recently lost my brother. I knew he had a will, and so I had spent almost two months. I spent hours going through his house over and over again, going through papers, his office. |
| 0:22.8 | I was just going to tell that I couldn't find it. |
| 0:25.8 | When I fell asleep that night, I dreamed about my brother. |
| 0:28.4 | And in the dream, he kept going out to his garage. |
| 0:31.7 | And so I waited until I'd go through everything else, |
| 0:33.0 | and then I went out in the garage. |
| 0:35.1 | The garage, for a will? |
| 0:36.8 | This is touched by heaven. |
| 0:56.1 | Everyday encounters with God. It's those moments when heaven and earth collide, and we see God in these encounters with angels, divine intervention, prophetic dreams, visions, near-death experiences. Welcome. I'm your host, Trapper, Jack. I'm going to play some hide-and-seek today. By the way, while you're coming to here to touchbyheaven.net, because I need your story. I do, I do. I need your story here, so let me know here, and then I'll get back to you there. And then, you know, we'll all get together. This way it all works. Okay, okay. I was thinking back when I was a kid, we did play hide-and-seek. It was a summertime thing and all the neighborhood kids would gather and uh let's see there was this lamp post which kind of illuminated home base safe and that was the |
| 1:17.3 | manhole cover and we'd all scatter and who are you know you didn't want to be it last thing you |
| 1:22.1 | wanted to be was it you know you wanted to be the one being sought not the one doing the seeking |
| 1:26.5 | you know spiritually speaking who's doing the seeking well that know, spiritually speaking, who's doing the seeking? |
| 1:28.5 | Well, that'd be God, of course. |
| 1:29.5 | He's the one seeking us. |
| 1:31.1 | That's biblical. |
| 1:44.7 | He seeks us. He finds us. He chooses us. And we think we're finding him and he's finding us and all that. But he's the original it man, you know? He's the one who's the one seeking us and he's coming after us tag and we're the ones going, |
| 1:45.5 | I missed me. |
| 1:44.7 | And then we do our prodigal run. He's the one who's the one seeking us and he's coming after us tag and we're the ones going, |
| 1:45.5 | I missed me. |
| 1:52.8 | And then we do our prodigal run away sometimes in my case, many, many, many years until we we finally find our way back. |
| 1:54.3 | But so this episode has a bit of that hide and seek factor to it. |
| 1:59.2 | It has to do with when we lose things, |
