Is there a logical explanation for this?


Question Posted Monday November 4 2013, 10:32 pm

I am a 14 year old female. I've asked previous questions regarding my grandmothers passing and anything family related. I brought that up because I feel that my question today may have something to do with it. Today it has been 3 months that my grandmother has passed away. Ever since my parents have had a tad bit of money issues. Well today I went to a local ice cream shop with my sister. We had already ordered what we wanted so we were just waiting for them to hand us the ice cream. The shop was completely alone. I turned around and a teenage guy I would say looked about 17 or 18 years old was talking to the cashier. I hadn't seen him walk in or heard the door open. He was talking to the cashier for a bit then another worker handed my ice cream. I was sitting down at one of the tables and I stood up to go get it at the counter. Nothing was on the floor, counter. Everything was clear. Then when I was walking back I noticed the guy had bent down to pick something up, he walked towards me and handed me a $10 bill. I was confused and he had said I dropped it. I received and thanked him thinking my sister may have dropped the bill. I asked and she had the bills already in her wallet. When I turned around to see if the guy was still there he was gone. We left right after and he was no where to be seen in the distance. I was confused and panicked. I'm thinking that maybe it was my grandmother letting me know that me and my family will get through this and that we'll soon regain the money we need to be able to carry on as we usually did.

In my opinion, it's a sign of encouragement, especially in your situation. If you feel like it's your grandmother letting you know that you'll get through this, that's fine.

As for logical, the logical explanation would be that it was an awesome coincidence and that man was simply mistaken.

Although he was mistaken, you can definitely take it as a sign of encouragement from your grandmother.

You're allowed to look at it however you would like. The logical way or the spiritual way. Either way is fine.

The logical explanation is that it was a coincidence. That a kind stranger tried to be kind.

The logical explanation is that you experienced something called confirmation bias. Confirmation bias happens when you have a strong existing belief, so you selectively interpret evidence to support that existing belief. A emotionally charged belief (like "My grandmother is watching out for us") or one that you'd very much like to be true is more likely to lead to an experience of confirmation bias, and the illusion that there is correlation between two events or situations that are not, in fact, associated with one another at all.

That's the logical explanation.

The explanation that your grandmother is sending signs to you from Heaven, is a spiritual and faith-based belief, and you can have that belief! No one can take that from you if that it what you feel and wish to believe. But that isn't the logical explanation for what you experienced.

I think you pretty much guessed it right. This was definitely a sign of encouragement from the other side, whether from Grandma herself or her asking your guardian angels to do something to encourage you. Though I've not had the exact same experience, I've had other experiences that can not be explained too. Loved ones and angels do work with us. My belief is that angels can make themselves look solid and actually be solid so to interact with people. What a wonderful experience.
So, no..there's no logical explanation, things of the spiritual realm don't follow logical explanation.
