It is an amazing feeling when the things you ask for gets delivered to you right before your very eyes. Seek and you shall find, this age old saying is applicable to our lives in more ways than one can imagine, ask and you shall receive.
This morning, i was waiting at the bus stop for a good 15 minutes, thereafter i realised that i had left something behind. So i went home to take the item. Realising that i may be late for my appointment, i did something before i stepped out of the house again. Took a moment to compose my thoughts, closed my eyes, then visualise that i'm walking towards the bus stop, crossing the road and sitting on the bench. Afterwhich i turned my head towards the on coming traffic, and there comes the bus! To be even more specific, i visualised the number of the bus that will be approaching, then i opened my eyes.
I set of from home for the second time. I was walking down the pavement, crossing the road, and sitting on the bench the exact way i had visualised. When i sat down, i turned my head to the right, no bus! About half a minute later, i turned my head again, and i saw a bus! As the bus came nearer, i could see the number on the bus, and it was the same number i had visualised, bus 703! I hummed a silent Thank You in my head.
What happened was a meaningful coincidence, and also a gift, an acknowledgement, and a blessing, for which filled me with gratitute.
Ode to Coincidence
Hans C. Moolenburgh
My life is but a weaving, between my God and me.
I do not choose the colours, He worketh steadily.
Offtimes he weaves sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent and shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful in the skilful weaver's hand
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
