Birthday

Today was my birthday...not an auspicous occasion...matter of fact, I tried to forget it. People kept reminding me of it. I think they were gloating, since they were all younger than me...well, almost all of them. Of course, there's not too many people I know who aren't younger than me. Parents...but you know how that is. They tend to remember their children's birthdays.

One story about the recent project...
One of our teams of three people approached a house up in the mountains and began talking to the people who lived there...a man, his daughter and his wife...maybe another person, I'm not sure. The team leader explained that they were walking through the area, passing out gospels of John, and praying for people. The father spoke to his family, saying, "Ya llegaron." "Now, they came." He went on to explain that they had been wanting someone to come and pray for his daughter, who recently had surgery on her arm to remove a growth. The team prayed for the young lady, for her healing, and for the family, then explained that they were not "healers" but that God could heal her. He might not, but He could. They went on to discuss the need for healing of the soul.

To me it's interesting that we seemed to be an answer to their needs at the time. Maybe we were. Are there any cooincidences in God's economy?
