Mere Coincidence?

The mainland Chinese fellowship in my home church approached me in January to speak with them during 2007. For one reason or another, we had to reschedule to October 13th. (Although I no longer attend this church, I still consider her my home church because she is where I, my husband, and son met our Savior personally and was baptized individually. I was there from January 1989 to December 2004.)

As I was driving there from the baby shower, I thought about the possibility of James losing his eyesight. How I wished he could be there with me when I talked about "How to Increase Marital Intimacy by Knowing One Another All Life Long." Although I was tired and weary on the road, I felt better listening to the song "God will make a way" by Don Moen.

The first person I saw at church is my daughter-in-law. She gave me a big hug and said, "He is on his way." At dinner, I told her and a dear friend about James' left eye, and brother D came over. Brother D, who invited me to talk, is in charge of the fellowship. Could you believe that brother Dr. D (who is also an eye doctor) and our second opinion specialist Dr. L work in the same group?

Not only that, brother D had arranged to have our son give an opening talk before mine. My heart was filled with joy and gratefulness as I watched my only son talk with parents and their teenage ABCs (using Mandarin and English). He shared how God changed lives in his family and smiled at me when he said how it all started with his parents ... He hugged me before giving me the time.

"I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations" (Psalm 89:1).
