The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling

Coincidence, Or Not~

It's easy enough to smile when the world goes along like a song,

but the one that's worthwhile is the one that can smile,

 When everything goes dead wrong~

This little poem is a modified snippet of a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox called WORTH WHILE, that my mother learned from her mother, and has made a big difference the the texture of my life. I have learned that because of who God is, and what They do, there is no such thing as coincidence. God always has a plan, however, He may not reveal the details of that plan to us right away.

For example; years ago I lost a very important receipt for an investment that I had made. It wasn't a lot of money, but the culmination of that investment is getting close, and I had resigned myself to loosing out on the proceeds of that investment because I had misplaced proof of my ownership. 

Yesterday, my cat Sparky caught a bird, and brought it into the house to show us her victory. It was alive, and in trying to pick up the cat and take her outside with the bird in her mouth, she (of course) dropped it, and it scooted away to hide. This promoted a search that involved moving furniture, and as a result I worked for hours cleaning the floors in the living room. My wife decided to clean a drawer in a small table near our front door, so that she could give it to our son the next time he came for a visiit. In cleaning out the drawed she discovered that some papers and other stuif had gone over the back of the drawer into a space under the drawer, preventing the drawer from closing. She asked me to open the underside of the drawer space to get this material out. One of the things that came out was a returned letter from nearly 20 years ago that had a copy of my receipt in it. 

We are coming into a time when the plans and prophecies of God will be revealed. Coincidence? I think not!
