"Does life just happen?"

A woman whom I coach (www.listentolife.org/coaching.htm) was talking with me about how some things happen in your life—good things—and you know that they were more than a coincidence; that they’re providential, designed and sent by God. I asked her to give me an example.

She said she was listening to a syndicated program one evening. She heard a young man who was about to be shipped out to Iraq call into the program. She turned up the radio as he talked about how he wished he could see his parents one more time before he left, but he knew that was impossible. The announcer asked him to talk about his parents some more, which he did. And the longer he talked, the more my friend realized she knew the young man.

So she took out her mobile phone and called the boy’s mother who lived in another state, told her to turn on the radio to a station with this show, and listen. The mother did, heard her son’s voice and his longing to see his parents, and him dedicating a song to them.

She’s right—no coincidence, only providence when you listen to life!
