Sid Currie started it. He was an assistant pastor at a church we attended in Ottawa. He talked in a sermon of reminders he felt he received from God that he was loved and that something special was going to happen. The sign was seeing a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.
You may have something you do as a harbinger of good things. For Marie, it is seeing a hawk. This is pretty good for her. Since we moved down to St. Marys, there are a lot of them prowling the farmers’ fields.
Seeing yellow Volkswagens are reasonably difficult. I think hawks are rather easy.
What I look for is much, much more unlikely. I look for my initials on licence plates. If I see a J, V and an S on a plate and I go, “Hmmmm!” If they are in the order JVS, which stands for John Victor Stevens, then I figure I am being blessed greatly.
It may sound a bit wacky, looking for signs from God, but when it happens, it certainly brightens my day. It’s got to be better than superstitions. At least I am not walking around doing things that I feel I must do to be lucky. These things just happen on the spur of a moment.
Looking for my initials can certainly pass time on a long trip. It makes me pay close attention to the cars around me, too.
So next time you see a licence plate with JVS on it, think of me. By the way, I don’t have a personalized plate with JVS on it.
