Look for Opportunities

As I was talking to my hubby via cell phone earlier, I suddenly heard ringing. I looked at my screen and saw that somehow I had dialed one of our friends with my face (dern touchscreen!). Embarrassed, I quickly ended the call and resumed my conversation with Matt. A few minutes later, the above mentioned friend called back, not knowing who had called. I told him it was me, and explained that I didn’t mean to call him and we asked how each other’s families were doing. But I was struck as he didn’t see the phone call as an “accident” and instead saw an opportunity to serve, by asking, “Well, is there any way we can pray for you guys? There is no such thing as an accident or coincidence!”
This friend of our’s, who we really don’t know all that well, saw a way to glorify God in an “accidental phone call”.
Thank You Lord for the bond You provide among Christians. And thank You for friends like Jay and Michelle. 🙂

Aww! Coie, you just blessed my heart immeasurably! What a sweet post! In all honesty, I truly think the Lord caused you to call Jay’s cell phone because I had been telling Him lately in my quiet times how much I miss fellowship with true, like-minded Believers. You and Matt were among the ones I was thinking about. I think the Lord just “God-incidentally” had you call us, and it was such a blessing just to hear your voice! :o)
