Father Elvis

I'm not sure how to describe what happened to me today. Incredible, eerie, a sign from God? Naysa and I were making a quick run into Walmart this morning so instead of putting her to sit up in the shopping cart I just grabbed her car seat out and put her in the cart, visor up to protect her chubby little cheeks from the morning sun. At the same time we were walking in a Priest dressed as Elvis made his way in front of us, only to look back at me with a quizzical look upon his face. That's strange, I thought, and giggled to myself because of his outfit. My girl and I went on our way and shopped around, not finding what I was looking for we headed for the door. That's when Father Elvis appeared and said "Excuse me, I know I probably look and sound crazy right now but I am a Priest and couldn't help but notice a feeling I got when I looked at your daughter, would it be alright if I prayed for her?" Stunned and confused, I said of course! Because who turns down a direct prayer from a Priest?! We moved out of the way of passerby's and he leaned over the cart, held Naysa's hand and began to pray. I leaned in as well, trying to hear what it was he praying for. I told him nothing of her medical history or all she has gone through, only that she had been through a lot to which he replied "I had a feeling." He prayed for her sight, her vision..her head..things specific to what she needs prayers for. She smiled at him and held tightly to his finger. When he was done he just looked at me, squeezed my hand and walked away. I got in the car and immediately called my mom (wouldn't you?!) and she was not surprised someone heard Naysa's message, like she was just doing her job. It didn't really sink in until I got home and a moment to really think about what had just happened and my eyes began to well with tears. I didn't get an uneasy feeling from him, like he was just some maniac in an Elvis costume because after all, I DO live in California! There was something peaceful about him, something comforting. Could that have been a spirit in flesh? Did that Priest truly have a direct line to God and was checking on one of his miracles? I am still dumbfounded.
