"Do you believe in coincidence or providence?"


An Internet marketing friend of mine who listens to life was on a trip, driving, and had a friend along with him. They talked about life, how thankful they are for so many wonderful things, and the blessings they receive daily. My friend looked up as they passed a couple of street signs. The first street sign read, "Thankful Street." The second street sign read, "Blessed Road."

He told me later, "There we were, driving along, talking about how thankful we are for life, and how blessed we are by life, and there are those two street signs. That’s gotta be more than a coincidence!"

I believe it was. In this my third decade of coaching people to listen to life and make a life, not just a living, I’ve seen personally and heard of so many experiences like this one, that I no longer believe in coincidence.

I believe in providence. God is with you everywhere, all the time—good and bad—and in ways you have yet to imagine.

See what you’re looking for—reasons to be thankful—and hear what you’re listening for—blessings—as you make a life, not just a living today.

How true! In retrospect, it seems to be all Providence, no coincidence.

One of the most startling sets of non-coincidences I have experienced is described in an account one can find by Google-searching for:
"Paw-paw's Scroll". Or see
