April-June, 2022
Last summer my daughter and I went on a trail walk. I said to my daughter, Alice, who was 5 at the time, “Let’s ask God to send us a four leaf clover.” I had always searched for a four leaf clover, but have never been so lucky as to find one.
On our walk we had a list of items to check off as we did our little scavenger hunt. Leaving the park, we had checked off every item, except the clover.
That evening I took Alice to a tennis lesson at a park down the road. As we were walking through the grassy fields toward the courts, I happened to glance down at my feet, and to my astonishment saw a perfect little four leaf clover. I bent down in disbelief to pick it up. Coincidence? Sure, but the feeling that washed over me in that moment was anything but a lucky find. My whole body felt a wave of peace and Love. The presence of God was clearly there.
After walking around the fields waiting for her to be done with her lesson, I went on to see FOUR other four leaf clovers and a five leaf clover. The odds were stacking up against coincidence, since they weren’t anywhere near the same spot I found the first one (It’s a large park).
I felt as if God knew my ego would question the likelihood of the first one being a coincidence, so He made sure to shower me with four leaf clovers that evening. I now have the first clover I found laminated in my bedroom with with a note saying “Clover from God.” While I know God’s presence is always with me, it’s fun to be playful from time to time.
