I lost an earring while hanging out with our family at the civic park, so the next day I decided to drive over there after my exercise class, to see if I could find it. When I arrived, Don was already there trying to find it for me! He texted (as I drove by looking for a car parking spot on the extremely busy avenue) to tell me not to bother trying to park and to carry on with my day, if I wanted to. So, I decided to take Elisabeth to the playground instead seeing that we were already out and not that far away from the park. We stayed for a while, and as I was about to tell Elisabeth that we should head home, I heard another mother talking to someone on her cell phone. She seemed a little distressed, and I sensed that something was wrong with her vehicle, perhaps that she had locked her keys in the car.

I asked her outright if that was the case, and she said yes. I texted Don to see if he could pop by to try to help out, and he was very glad to oblige. It turned into a long afternoon of trying various options between us and the mother’s own contacts, but we got a chance to share with her some of the Word together with a few personal testimonies. She had never even heard of speaking in tongues before despite having gone to church for many years! It was interesting to discover that she hadn’t at all planned to come to this particular playground this day, and that she normally only ever takes her kids to another park. I shared with her that I, too, am normally never at this playground on a Tuesday afternoon and that I only happened to be there because of having attempted to look for my lost earring.

The beautiful thing was that in the end, the mother discovered that her car insurance would cover the cost of a locksmith service, which she proceeded to book, and Don got to have a great chat about the Lord with the serviceman while he worked on the mother’s vehicle. I wasn’t there at the time, but apparently he was very keen to take a card and look into things further. So, praise the Lord, yet again seemingly negative incidences led to the furtherance of the Kingdom’s work upon this earth, in more ways than one!
