A close friend recently sold a lovely RV
That she had enjoyed with her husband
Who had recently and unexpectedly passed away.
To her surprise,
It was a woman that bought the RV,
And she also had been recently and suddenly widowed.
My friend thought it such a curious coincidence!
She told of their conversation
And how she felt she might have helped her
In such an emotional transition.
They didn’t speak again, once the deal was complete.
My friend referred to this coincidence and conversation
as a “God wink.”
You may be familiar with the term,
Meaning when it seems the Creator has sent
A little bit of joy, or clarity,
That seems perfectly timed for
The moment in your life.
I invited her to consider it more of a
God appointments:
If God winks are for our individual delight
And guidance,
Appointments are for other people.
If you can recall a time when you felt prompted
To speak to someone, buy them a coffee at a drive through
Or interact in some way, and maybe never again.
It could be a chat on a flight, or at a casual gathering,
That didn’t seem to actually lead to … well…
Anything that you can measure.
But we have no idea what light we may have shared with that
Person and how it could be a seed that God’s planning on watering
With your words as the soil.
I’m learning to follow those little nudges..
Sometimes I get rewarded with a wink, and
Sometimes I trust that it was an appointment, and
I just enjoy the conversation!
Happy spring!
