I am blessed to be able to share for our first blog something that happened over 30 years ago in my life.
My husband had been in the Military for 8 years and we were getting ready to become civilians again.
Money was pretty tight in those days. We had to travel from Florida to Kansas. The military would ship our belongings but the rest was on us.
We sat down and started calculating how much it would cost us to make this move. With the price of gas, food and lodging we had come up with a figure of $342.
You might wonder why I remember that figure so well after so many years, hence the "coincidence".
I had been shopping at the PX on base and when walking to my car I spotted an envelope on the ground. I picked it up and when settled in the car with our two small children, took time to open it. It was a very large sum of cash. There was no name, nothing to identify the owner. I was sick. I KNEW how hard money was to come by. When I got home I called the store and the bank that was close by and gave them my number so when the person came looking, I could return it.
I put the envelope in the top drawer and prayed someone would call.
Three months went by. It was time to leave for home. No one had called.
I asked God, why? I knew someone was missing that money. Yes, you probably guessed it. There was exactly $342. in the envelope.
Coincidence? Accident? I don't think so.
Our goal is to have a link each Tuesday for you to share your stories. I pray reading them will lift your spirit and open your eyes to the wonder of a coincidence.
Blessings, Debbie
we pray you are inspired to join us with our
