A Full Tank!
Submitted by: Jackie
Lakeville, MAI'm a Project Manager for a large Software Company. I'm in my mid-40s and happily married.
Last winter when the price of heating oil was just starting to sky rocket, we found it difficult to afford the expense of filling up our oil tank even halfway. Since we lived pay check to pay check, my husband would go down to the local gas station to buy a few gallons of diesel at a time just to get us by.
One day we were running so low on fuel that my husband didnt think wed make it through the night with heat. He began calling around to local heating oil companies to see if he could find the lowest price per gallon. After having found the best price, he was told that the delivery truck only makes deliveries to our part of town twice a week, and that the next delivery was two days away. Knowing that we probably didnt have enough oil for the next two days, we went to bed that night asking the Universe for a miracle.
A month earlier we had watched The Secret video, and we knew that if we expected a miracle and visualized a full tank of oil that a miracle would happen. We kept our focus on abundance (having a full tank) – not on the fact that we had barely enough to make it through.
Two days went by and finally the oil delivery truck came. The delivery man went to put the nozzle in the pipe and began adding oil. Within seconds the nozzle clicked, indicating that the tank was full. The delivery man knocked on the door and told my husband, You dont need oil – you already have a full tank. Perplexed, my husband asked if the nozzle was broken. To be sure, both my husband and the delivery man went to basement. Sure enough, the tank gage read ‘Full’. They even knocked on the tank to see if it sounded hollow, which would indicate that the gage was broken and the tank was empty. However, instead of hearing a hollow sound they both heard a lovely dull clank the sound of a full tank! My husband smiled from ear to ear, knowing that this was a miracle of abundance that was given to us because we used the concepts from The Secret.
A neighbor said that someone may have delivered the oil in error to our house, and that wed probably be getting a bill from some other oil company. We knew that was not possible, since someone from our family was at home the entire two days in question.
After almost a year later, we never have received a bill from any other oil company.
Every day we are thankful for all the miracles and gifts that are bestowed on us. My family is living proof that the unexplained can happen. As The Secret says, dont worry about how things will come to you, just know that they will come. And indeed they do!
