I phoned an old workmate and friend today to see how she was after hearing she had been in intensive care. Thankfully she is fine. Reminded me of the time, a couple of years or so back, when she used to pick me up for work every Monday to Thursday. Almost every day we would stop at the bakery near work for a feed, since we worked over the dinner hour. (And like I ever need an excuse to eat, LOL!) Almost every day we would have to drive up a side street by the bakery corner and park there, since parking spaces were hard to come by at this shopping centre. Occasionally we were lucky enough to squeeze into a park outside, or up the street a little, but usually it was the side street.
One particular day, as we were driving up the hill before turning right into the main street where the bakery was, I spontaneously said to my friend, "God, let there be a parking space for us ... See what Holy Spirit thinks of me." My friend, not being of any particularly spiritual persuasion probably thought I was out of my tree! (And it wouldn't be the first time, haha!) Anyhow, as we approached the main street and turned the corner both our mouths dropped to the floor. EVERY PARKING SPACE WAS VACANT! THERE WASN'T A CAR TO BE SEEN!!!
My friend seemed totally blown away and no one is ever more surprised than me when these things happen. Not sure what she made of it in the end, but I sure knew it was a miracle! Thank you Holy Spirit! :~D
