Divine Guidance

Yesterday was designated an errand/shopping day. I usually try to do three or four things per trip to conserve gasoline so I'm headed out the door with hands full and realize, not only do I have my cane in my left hand but also my second cane, hanging from my right arm. I didn't want to have to unload everything to return the second cane so I carried everything to the car, loaded up and drove off. While heading down Harrison Avenue I noticed a young family heading toward their van, the hobbling man leaning heavily on an unfolded metal chair. And then the whole reality was there before me. The reason why I had 'accidentally' carried my spare cane to the car. I turned around and drove near their van, asking the young woman if her husband needed a cane. She said 'yes' so I handed over the cane and suggested that he keep his hurt ankle wrapped, elevated and on ice. Some could call this a coincidence but I don't. I've never accidentally carried my spare cane to the car before and to be honest, I've never seen a hobbling young man using an unfolded metal chair as a crutch either.
I do believe in divine guidance and I think this whole thing was meant to happen. And what better way to glorify God than by serving others. It does make me wonder though how many other opportunities have been placed before me that I didn't notice. Believe me, my eyes are open now.
