    COINCIDENCE?

    My son got some disturbing mail yesterday. I had trouble getting to sleep and woke equally upset.  I reached for my One Year Bible (not something I do on a regular basis; I've had it for ten years...), and opened at the ribbon placemark.   Psalm 69 was right there, and 70, 71 were on the following pages.  All three were pertinent to my "issue" of the day, and I rose with optimism and resolve to "let go and let God".
    I'm not a religious fanatic, and certainly not a good example for anyone, but I do have faith and believe those Psalms weren't a convenient coincidence.

    DO YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES? CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE FROM YOUR LIFE.

    The day after my mother died, my sister was outside feeling blue when out of nowhere a balloon flew into her arms and written on it was:  I LOVE YOU.  This is a memory story worth holding on to………..

    Do you think this awesome event was a "coincidence" or something deliberate somehow.

    I think it was devine, my sister never got over the death of my mom, the balloon picked up her spirits………...

    I was in the hospital with a temp. of 106 and they couldn't get it down it was Sunday and my wife said a prayer for me and quoted a Bible verse, then I felt better right away when she ask them to check my temp. again they said no way its come down yet, but it was normal.


    We learned later that my pastor was praying at about the same time and quoting the same Bible verse.

    Powerful stuff! Certainly no coincidence in my judgment. Many years ago I was part of a simultaneous incident, too. Clear to this day!

    there are no coincidences
