SYNCHRONICITY
“… the simultaneous occurrence of causally unrelated events and the belief that the simultaneity has meaning beyond mere coincidence.”
Has such synchronism happened to you? Can you think of a time when there was a coincidence in time/events/things that was too synchronous to be coincidental? I can!

Just last weekend, I watched a movie on my Amazon Prime Video that was titled, Lightkeepers. It was a delightful film starring Richard Dreyfuss in which he played the role of the lighthouse keeper. Love lost and love renewed, life lost and life renewed, heartwarming and real. I highly recommend it.
But what does this have to do with synchronicity? Well, in the four days since I watched that movie, I have seen lighthouses at least once each day… in a TV ad, in the newspaper, in the centerfold of my November issue of In Touch Magazine… this photo by Charles Stanley:
I posted it accidentally in a post of its own, titled Lighthouses, just a few minutes ago. I was trying to save it to use in this post and I ended up posting it alone – – – and losing everything I had written so far on this subject of Synchronicity. Hmmm…
Then, this morning, before I could redo the post that I started, my friend who comes once a week for prayer, praise, study and devotional sharing time with me, arrived with a new cloth bag in which she carries her books, etc. What do you think the bag had pictured on the cover?
- You guessed it!
What do we do with such synchronicity? Does it make you think? Do you ask yourself, “What are these reoccurrences trying to teach me?” I do!
Charles Stanley’s photo had this scripture printed below it:
“O send out Your Light and Your Truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling places. Then I will go to the alter of God, to God my exceeding joy; and upon the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.” Psalm 43:3-4
I don’t play the lyre, but I play the accordion. Upon the accordion I will praise You, O God, my God. I will bring exceeding joy to the people in our local nursing home. I will accept the call, and be the light that God has given me. Yesterday I wrote about Reciprocity … receiving and giving back. Today it’s time for me to “Walk the Talk.”

Ohhhh I love it! What does it mean? We shall find out in days to come. I should pay more attention to my surroundings too. There’s probably a synchronistic message out there for metoo, but Im too spacy to see it!
I love this!
Thank you, Dorothy. ❤️👍🏽
You’re welcome 😊
You and your accordion have brought joy to many throughout the years. I’m sure the local rest home will be thrilled to have you “light up” their hallways! Bless you, momma 🙏🏼💗🙏🏼💗
Thanks, DeDe. It’s a party wherever it goes. There’s something joyful about an accordion.
An excellent example. Reminds me of Virginia Woolf’s “To the Lighthouse”
I have not read that. I’ll look it up. Thank you, Derrick. Have a great weekend. <3
Obviously a good novel, Jan
