I have a testimony that made me believe in Jesus our God. Back in 2004 me and my brother was traveling with car from inland to the coast of Baltic Sea. My brother told me a story when we passed a specific farmer house. In the field a Cairn with painted stone was visible from our car. The story says that the farmer must keep the stone painted in different bright color. Otherwise the farm buildings will burn down to the ground. The story tells that has happened. The story says also it is an object of fertility. Refer to Google translation from WIKIPEDIA below
“Rödsten, Rösten or Rödstensgubben, located 10 km northwest of Åtvidaberg, just south of Grebo, on a field west of road 35, is a phallus-like stone arrangement associated with several tales. At the bottom is a base, on it a red painted stone, on this a smaller white painted, on top a black painted. The event is surrounded by a rose, possibly a grave rose. The oldest evidence is from 1360 when Arvid in Rödsten was a church attendant. At the end of the 1600s, the farm Rödsten was the captain's residence. [1] Today, Rödsten has no equivalent in Sweden. Probably it is the last of many to have existed in the fertility cult in the honor of the god Frei, which existed in the country before the country's Christianity. Perhaps it was covered with blood as in Adam by Bremen's portrayal of the victims in Uppsala (1070s). A saying goes that the stones must be painted when the barn is repainted, otherwise the barn will burn down. This also happened in 1920, which was attributed to Rödstensgubben. In September 2006, the stones were stolen, but were found after a few days in Västervik.”
In mid 1980:s my wife had a tubal pregnancy that destroyed one tube. I learn that the possibility to get pregnant with only one tube is less than 30%. Later we tried for many months without result. We even start discuss adoption as an option. We did not need to take that road because in 1996 we were blessed with a daughter Matilda followed by 1997 daughter Johanna and 1990 sun Christian. After my wife sterilize the remaining tube.
Back to the story and the trip with the car. When my brother told me the story about the pagan fertility symbol, I prayed to God and Jesus for one more child. When I was back at home, my wife told me she was PREGNANT. 9 month later we had a miracle named Amanda
