As she stood in line at the bank that day looking pretty down her bank teller said, "What's wrong?" And she told her exactly what had happened and the next time that this woman went to the doctors they said, "Well congratulations you've got a donor." And she said, "Who?" It was her bank teller.

Shortly after World War II on Christmas Eve afternoon a widow who had been told that her husband had died during the war was warming herself inside a church. When she noticed a tablecloth that the pastor had hung on the wall.

She recognized the tablecloth as one she had had herself in Vienna. Later that night at Christmas Eve services all of the parishioners were filing out and one fellow stopped and said to the pastor, "That tablecloth - it looks just like one that my lost wife and I had in Vienna." And the pastor grabbed this man by the shoulders and said, "Do I have a Christmas surprise for you!"

A music teacher in South Carolina was taken deathly ill just before her students were about to perform Handel's Messiah. The students went ahead with the performance anyway.

And they delivered a tape, a cassette tape to the hospital, which her husband then played over and over and over again - and the teacher recovered. And when she talks now about the time she was in a coma she says all she remembers is music.
