I don't know if it was a sign or not because I just don't know.
My Dad had planted a fig tree in his back yard. It never made figs. The morning he passed, I was walking around the backyard trying gather my thoughts. I looked at the fig tree and it had three figs on it.
Like I said, I don't know if that's a sign or not or if it was just coincidence. It's just something I ponder from time to time.

I think this is an interesting topic, especially since I've been dealing with a lot of grief lately. I don't personally believe the dead communicate with us, but I do believe the Lord comforts us after our loved one has passed on. In what manner/form that comfort takes place is undoubtedly unique to each of us.
The day my mother passed away, I was sitting in the yard that evening getting some fresh air. I heard a rustle in the vines next to me, out comes a turtle. The songbirds seemed to linger near me as they sang. A chickadee in particular lingered for a while on a branch nearby. As dusk came, a fox passed by me. I feel an incredible amount of comfort and awe of the Lord's creation, so I feel like He was comforting me.
The day I went to the funeral home to make burial arrangements for my father, I decided to have lunch at an eatery nearby. I ordered and just sit there alone thinking about everything. I missed...I miss!...my father so much. Then the waitress brought my meal and at that moment David Allan Coe's You Never Even Called Me By My Name started playing. My dad would always start singing that song at just any random time. It made me chuckle. Coincidence? Maybe. But, at least I smiled as I enjoyed my meal.

Verse 1
Pump the brakes, stop sign
You saw the sign now you Ace Of Base
Preacher saw them dollar signs
He on that paper chase
Stuffing profits in his pockets
A wolf with a sheep's appearance
And the reason he's making that scratch huh
Is cause those ears itch
Pimping out the Gospel
A prostitution of false doctrine
Lies whistle in the wind
But we listen
If there's a little truth mixed in
Find a pastor that suits you
On your TV with a suit and tie
Hitch a ride in his private jet
And you'll be lookin' stupid fly
Materialism
And selfish ambition
Is a foolish religion
The riches of God's mercy
Is worth more than your superstition
Tell me how does a Christian begin
To develop discernment and wisdom
First we submit every symbol and sign
To the authority of the scriptures
Verse 2
Yep, are you the kind
That's completely consumed
By symbols and signs?
If you are that's fine
But don't you find it interesting
How most of the time
Your self-interpreting seems to coincide
With what's deep inside
Your heart's desires
Seems rather convenient, doesn't it?
I'm not saying that God can't do it
Not saying that God won't do it
That might very well be the case!
I'm simply making an observation of how much weight you place on it
What seems to be at stake and how much of your faith is actually banking on it
And how much of your mysticism is mixed with your religious philosophic system
Sometimes what we believe to be true from our supernatural pursuits is actually a fluke
A series of events that's used to distract you from the truth
But, I'll give you a sign that's obvious
One of the most supernatural acts is that God through his Word has actually revealed everything pertaining to life in Godliness
There's this idea that an individual
Is somehow more spiritual
If he sees these signs and symbols
And takes what's normally invisible
And makes it simple
But I say the mark of a mature man
Is the one who reads God's Word and understands
And allows that to govern his decisions and his prospective plans
Verse 3
I like it when the wind shifts
They say it's the movement of the Spirit
Still small voice, ya'll hear it?
Remember that time I saw that leaf fall
I was positive it was God's call
Wait for it, listen close
Ya'll missed it?
I cite Gideon, Samson, Paul
Elijah saw the clouds split
And know that God did it
And does it still
Still, his presence feels like chills
Right, and if I'm honest it doesn't happen often
Something must be wrong
It's boring when my life is more like the book of Ruth than Exodus
I've never seen the partin'
Of an ocean
Or a cloud by day or pillar by night
Just a normal everyday working of life
Where things that suck royally
Is evidence of his royalty
Scratch your temple
So deep it's simple
Silly us, ignore the plain
We prefer a riddle
Dying to see a miracle
While holding God's diary
Looking for signs

I had a close loved one depart and a few days later I was watching Joel Osteen on TBN. I don't usually watch his program and at the end he was talking and looked straight to the camera and said ' someone has just lost a family member and they want you to know they are fine and don't be sad'. The next show was on YT about miracles all around us and had a character who had my relative's name which isn't a common one. Then I went to Daystar, and I was blown away when Brian Lamb (yrs before he passed) turned to the camera and said almost the same thing as Joel Osteen did. Then he said, wow, I don't know where that came from but if it ministered to you please call us & I did.
I can see one or two direct connections being a coincidence but three and all totally unrelated to each other? I'm sure it was a comforting blessing from God, why, just because He can🙌💕

Keep in mind that God will use what is not to acheive what is impossible. Any time any of us are used in srvice for a message or a miracle, It is He nowt we who are behind it. We are simply here to serve.
As for those three incidents, they would be from our Father using people to get to you, not anything more nor less. Praise God for minding our every need, amen.
