I was meeting with a Hospice Director on Montpelier, VT. She had a very busy day with only a window of ½ hr to meet with me. I drove around and around a parking lot, finally found a spot. As I was getting out of my car, I noticed a sign: Anyone who doesn’t pay will be ticketed. I didn’t have one penny of change. As I stood there wondering if I dare forget the sign, a car came along. I asked the people in the car if they really did ticket the cars. They said "Oh yes!" When I told them I didn’t have any change, the woman in the car gave me the change I needed. As they were pulling away, I gave them one of our You Are Never Alone Foundation bookmarks with the message You are never alone. I noticed them looking at the bookmark and thought they must think I’m crazy… Oh well!
A couple of weeks later, I was participating in an Overnight Youth Conference. After the evening activities, as the adults were getting acquainted, one of the women asked me what I did? I told her about the You Are Never Alone Foundation and gave her a bookmark. She smiled and asked me if I was in a parking lot in Montpelier a couple of weeks before. I said I was and she said she was the person who gave me the change. She went on to say that her friend in the car was going through a difficult time after the loss of his wife. She had told him to remember that You are never alone just before I gave him the bookmark with the words You are never alone…. I got goosebumps…
Experiences like this show me there are no coincidences...Do you agree?
