The Existence of Coincidence

Nothing will ever be a coincidence.

             Sometimes when we get surprised, we may say, "What a coincidence!" Actually, that is kind of wrong because everything that happens in life is planned. There is always a reason why things happen in our lives.
             This is also the same as luck. Luck never exists. Sometimes I say "Good luck" but sometimes it's better to say "May God bless you." This is because it is God's choice to bless us or not. But no worries about God not blessing us, because there is always a reason why God gives us problems and challenges in our lives. That reason would either be because He wants us to let us realize our mistakes or because he wants us to be stronger and better spiritually and physically for the future.
            So in life, don't always take things as coincidence, take them as plans of God. Accept these as blessings in life and thank Him for these even if they are bad because there must be a reason they happen. Just like what I learned before: failures, challenges, and problems are gifts.

Every Little Thing is a Blessing

It all started with a story:

          There was once a boy who was really, really sick that he can't even walk. All he can do was stay on the hospital bed everyday. His parents were kind of worried for him because they know he is actually inching to his death. Slowly he is dying with no friends, no experience of the outside world, as in nothing except his parents and his daily needs.
          One day, his parents visited him and surprisingly, they saw him writing on a book. The title of the book was "God's Blessings".
          "Hi dad. Hi mom," his eyes were droopy as though he hadn't sleep for days, yet he had a smile across his face.
          "Hello kiddo! What is that your writing on?," his dad asked.
          "I'm writing a list of blessings in my life," the boy smiled.
          "Can we take a look?," his mom gently took the book from the boy.
          As they read the book, tears started sprawling out of their eyes. They saw this:
   
             1. I thank God for letting me live even for a few years.
             2. I thank God for giving me the greatest parents.
             3. I thank God for the food I eat everyday.
             4. I thank God for giving me water to drink.
             5. I thank God for giving me doctors to befriend and who cared for me
          
         And so on and so forth... 
               
Even if this little boy was sick in bed everyday, he was still happy of all the things in his life. He was so contented even though he was suppose to be mad at God for giving him a horrible life. Instead, he thanked God for every little thing God has given him. So let us be happy and thank God for everything in our lives.
