Yesterday, I wanted to be "naughty" and put one less parking coupon. My original plan was to take the chance and only put till 8am (though I could only leave house after 830am). Well.. my original plan was thwarted when I made a mistake while tearing the coupons. The mistake was made in such a way that I had to put an additional coupon for half and hour...to make it 830am. When I made that mistake, I went "Awww!" (well, that was the sinful me who wanted to cheat a little) but the next thought that came was, maybe there is a reason for the mistake and who knows, this mistake could save me from a parking ticket the next morning.
GUESS WHAT!!!!! I reached the carpark this morning at 840am and there was 2 parking attendants standing right at my car...!!!! They were waiting for me..giving me that little grace period. I managed to prevent them from issuing a ticket... Phew!!!!! Woah.. when that happened, I really thanked God! It was definitely His way of showing me that He's watching over me, my every little move and motive.
If I did not make the mistake, they would probably have issued the ticket cos they would not have given someone 40mins of grace period...Praise the Lord! It's all His grace...............
Well, I also learnt that I should not take chances like that..haha!!
God's amazing right?

Beautiful!
I typed hallelujah in Google, hoping to find someone to share a moment of happiness before I went to bed. I spelled the word wrong, but my mistake was corrected (by the grace of Google) and I learned that it meant "Praise the Lord" in Hebrew. So I typed in "Praise the Lord Coincidence" (being a lover of serendipity) and found your lovely essay.
Even before I believed in God I was taught lessons like the one you described, as if He was listening to my every thought and motive, and steering me gently toward integrity, gratitude and thoughtfulness.
Thank you for sharing your story and giving the world a glimpse of your family: friends of God.
I pray that all of your hopes and dreams come true.
