"Small world, isn't it?"

A friend who listens to life with us through our web site at www.listentolife.org recently emailed me an experience her son had while applying for a job. The job required a physical examination.

So he showed up for the physical. The nurse began by asking his birthday. He told her, “April 15, 1975.” And the nurse said, “Really? That’s my birthday! How about that?”

Then she asked, “Where were you born?”

He told her the name of the city and she said, “I can’t believe it! That’s where I was born!”

So here were two complete strangers, born the same day in the same hospital, two people who shared the same nursery the first night of their lives, meeting for the very first time.

The world gets smaller every day, doesn’t it? Just think about all the people you shared a nursery with your first night of life. When will you get to meet them?

Now you’re beginning to understand how God can have the whole world in hand.
