Coincidences


Today two amazing things happened.

1. I couldn't find Radcliffes mate in the fish bowl and still haven't. Radcliffe has a supercilious smile on his lips. Then when I arrived at work I noticed the fish that always sits on my desk in a bowl, owned by Belinda had moved. On further inspection Belinda couldn't find her fish either. In the end she went on hands and knees looking for him (Cadbury) on the floor and found that he had taken his own life by flinging him self over the edge of the container he was in. It was a sad moment and to tell the truth, I was choking back the sobs, especially when Belinda wrapped him carefully in a tissue, while I sung a few notes of Amazing Grace. Shes taken him home for burial in the family plot. Gee I hope she remembers to take him out of her handbag....

2. I went to this AWESOME ladys house today to help with some IT stuff for a choir I am in. Ive been tossing up whether I should undertake more volunteering. After a while we started talking and realised she could do with some more help, so I offered to spend time volunteering for her as I cant really do committees and its the politics that I don't understand. I found it hard telling her the truth about how I see her situation because shes actually said previously to the choir that she wont be around for ever. To actually say that back to someone was really hard and I felt like bawling, especially since I hardly know her. Amazingly she sees it as a gift because I have assessed her situation correctly and her dream is to get her life time collection of music she has created in some sort of order before she either dies or goes senile. The coincidence in this is that she thinks Im the gift and I think shes the gift. I just know I will be stepping up to the next level with help of this talented and good person.
Thank you Father for all the things you have sent me recently and especially the gift of GRACE!
