More Than Just a Coincidence

I just got off the phone with my eldest daughter and wanted to share this remarkable story. My daughter is a good-deed doer and always has been. She doesn't have much money and doesn't have a car.

She called me on her way home from work today to tell me that she stopped at the Dollar Store and got me some Halloween decorations for next year at 90% off. She spent $6.00 on the decorations and some candy, after which she had $16.00 left. She told me that she set aside $10.00 from what remained for a bus ticket for 10 rides, which would get her to and from work for a week.

My daughter called me again to tell me that while she was making her way to the bus stop, a lady asked if she had change for a dollar for her meter. My daughter gladly gave it to her. On her way to catch the bus, she suddenly realized that the $10.00 bill she had was missing.

She walked a block back to where she had stopped to help the lady and couldn't find the $10.00 bill anywhere. While she was searching everywhere for the $10.00 for her bus fare, she missed her bus. At this point, I was on the phone with her and she was debating whether she should walk home (about 12 long blocks) or wait 20 minutes for the next bus.

Good thing she decided to wait for the next bus! As she looked on the ground where she stood, she said, "Mom, you're not gonna believe what I just found!" I said, "Your money?" And she replied, "No, it's a ten dollar bus ticket!" I couldn't believe it, this was more than just a coincidence.

Thanks for sharing, perfect example of when your hand is open to give, it is also open to receive.

It's not our plan, but if we let it and do our bit, it surely comes together!
