Providence or Coincidence?...

Three years ago today, shy little me ventured all alone to the spa at my apartment complex. No big deal, right? For most people, no... for me, it was huge. But I had hurt my back a couple of weeks before and it was still bothering me, so I thought maybe sitting in the hot, bubbly water would help soothe my aching back. Who knew I would find comfort for my aching heart, too? Because that trip to the Spa led to my meeting 'spa-man' - aka Ron. Funny how in the previous 8 months I had never seen him - even though part of that time he was on crutches and I think a 6 foot 1 inch guy on crutches would be noticeable! Then after that 'chance' meeting, I saw him everywhere --- the mailboxes, the parking lot, and the spa... So, was it providence or coincidence? For those of us who are believers, we know everything is by God's providence - that it is he who is in control and praise God, He is! Anyway, even after three years, I still find the story of our meeting interesting and proof that God is in the details of our lives. If I hadn't hurt my back... if I hadn't gone to the Spa that night?... If Ron hadn't gone to the spa that night?... If he hadn't said 'hi'... who knows what our story would have been?
