A coincidence is a little miracle in which God chooses to

remain anonymous.  I believe that coincidences are little

nudges or love taps from HP on our journey through life. 

It maybe HPs way of showing us that we are moving in

the right direction and think that it is at those times that

being thankful is appropriate.

Have a great day everyone!   smile

Debb --This is one I must be careful with, as my magical thinking might see miracles where there are none .

I believe that life must be lived going forward and understood in retrospect. That is why, at the end of each year, I make it a NY's Eve practice to do a "year end" review . It is there that I can see HP's "whispers" and truly understand the support and help I have received.

Thank you alanon--  Thank you HP-- Thank you Debb aww

I've become so simple-minded about my life that when coincidences happen in my day, I tend to wonder if that was HP or just reality.....for me, it truly doesn't matter - I am one who believes each experience we have is a learning opportunity. I have to remain grateful, no matter if I view things as going good or I view things as not going so good.

I am grateful that life experiences and daily events lead me towards more joy and peace. I am grateful for the pain I've experienced as it's made me a better person. I am always looking to do the next right thing. I know when I am uncomfortable, I need to listen and learn and grow.

I am not too sure I even know what a coincidence is, but do believe I am led each day to peace and joy if/when I accept life on life's terms and surrender my will to the care of God....

Interesting concept - I think I need more coffee or something!!!

Thanks Debb - lovely share + lovely thread - Happy Friday to one and all!

Debb, thanks, I like that, it resonates with me.

And Betty, I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago, that "life must be lived going forward and understood in retrospect". Of course, I didn't come up with a brilliant way of putting like you just did, so I will remember this going forward.

Every day I come on this board I seem to learn something great! Thanks everyone!

Kenny
