Money from the sky

Wednesday evening, 2 of us went to Menlyn and went into Exclusive books. One of us saw a very interesting book and sat down and started reading a bit, whilst the other one decided to make conversation with one of the employees. After a good chat with one the employees about God, faith and hope for the future and exchanging numbers, we left Menlyn. It was very late already about 22h15.

We got to place where we needed to pay our parking ticket but did not have any money in either of our wallets. One of us prayed that God would let money fall from the sky or something to help us pay this ticket. We only needed 8 Rand, but realised that the ATMs are all quite far in the mall, so we went to our car which was nearby and checked for loose coins lying around and found exactly 8 Rand. We double checked again making sure we had 8 Rand, so that we don’t need to come back again and headed off to the place where we pay for parking. We were almost alone at the mall, since it was so late and the only people we saw were some distance away. As we stood ready to insert our coins we heard a coin fall next to us. Both of us thought the other person dropped a coin. We counted the coins in our hands and realised that we had NOT dropped any coins, but that this coin that fell wasn't ours. Trying to make sense of the situation, we looked around to see if there was someone close by that would have dropped this coin, but this wasn't the case. The coin had literally fallen out of nowhere to land next to us. Although we had enough coins already, it was a huge faith booster to see that our prayer of asking God to send money to fall from the sky actually became a reality!

I really do believe God was smiling at our amazement that evening...
