Mere Coincidence

One of the only things that helps Ken's headaches is for him to drink Gatorade/Powerade

It can be expensive when everyone in the house thinks they need to drink them.

They are on sale at the store for REALLY cheap.

I don't think so.

I haven't had time today to make any.

The doorbell rings and a friend hands the kids a loaf of bread.

It's the kids birthdays.

We always have a party but can't have people over.

"I'll do the kids birthdays at my house", says the voice on the end of the line.

I don't think so.

It has been a really difficult day.

I feel like I am a failure at being the mother I am suppose to be.

There are so many things that I can't do right now.

Mere Coincidence?

I don't think so.

There are many things that can be written off to mere coincidence.

However I have learned different.

I know the Lord is intimately involved in the details of my life.

He knows exactly what I need.

Nothing happens randomly.

There is a reason that everything in life occurs.

It is because it is what we need.

Weather we think it is at the time our not.

So the next time something happens and you say

"what a coincidence"

Think again.

Look a little closer.

You might just see the hand of the Savior.
