Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Luke 21:1-4 As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
Cool story, Tony! Personally, I don't believe in luck, or chance or coincidence. The sovereign God of creation has every hair on the heads of His creatures numbered, and a sparrow does not fall to the ground without His knowledge. Coincidence suggests there are things that happen that He either doesn't care about or can't control. Most of His behind-the-scenes providence is never noticed... but every now and then something extra-ordinary pops up and gives us a reason to say, "Wow! There's something bigger than us in this world!" Bet that bus driver was thinking something like that. Probably made him want to go get a new Bible without holes in it and start reading to find out more.
