Coincidence/Devine

My husband and I were driving in the car one day having a casual conversation. We were discussing our plans for Memorial Day and agreed that we would go with my family to visit my grandpa. My grandma recently passed away so our pan is to clean out their house to help my grandpa move on. Not only did I lose my grandma on my dad’s side this year, but I also lost my grandma on my mom side. Its been a tough start to the year. 

My birthday was this past Friday and I can expect like clockwork to receive a birthday card from both my grandmothers. It made me sad to realize that I would never receive a birthday card from either of them again. It made me sad to know certain traditions are over. There’s something special about grandmothers and as the months pass little things happen that make me sad. I try to be grateful that I was able to have 2 of the most wonderful grandmothers and some people never get that experience.

Just as I was feeling sorry for myself and wondering “why”… a car switched lanes right in front of us and in big bold letters the words “TRUST GOD” was on the back of the window. Tears immediately well up in my eyes. I began crying not tears of sadness but tears of peace and joy. Call it a coincidence if you will, but I truly believe this was Gods way of comforting me. How blessed are we to have a God who comforts us in such unique ways! My heart is full!
