My husband and I had a very interesting discussion today. He noticed these light towers on the side of a highway today. I thought it was strange because our city had the exact same light towers along another main highway of the city for several years, yet he acted like they were completely new.
I grew frustrated with my husband because I couldn’t believe that he hadn’t notice the light towers for years and years. Just as I felt my heart to beat a little faster and noticed my nostrils flaring with emotion, I looked down and saw that I had a paper cut on my finger. I joked and said, “Look, I have a paper cut on my finger, maybe God’s punishing me for getting mad at my husband.” My husband laughed at me and said there were too many things wrong with my statement to respond.
Okay. I’ll admit it. God didn’t magically give me a paper cut. I wasn’t really getting angry at my husband. And God wouldn’t take the time to punish me like that. However, I have faith in coincidences. At the very moment that I was getting frustrated with the love of my life, I notice I had a paper cut. I took a moment to step away from that frustration and make a joke about being more patient towards my husband.
Today, everything came together for me so that I found a little more laughter, patience, and love in my heart at the very time when I was getting frustrated and impatient. I don’t know what caused the paper cut. I don’t know how it all works. All I know is that somehow I felt the hand of God working in my life today. He knows the plan and He isn’t going to share it with me. I’m okay with that.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
