Abstract

Speaking of coincidences, I also think God has a wonderful sense of humor. Back when I was at Fieldstone I was preaching weekly at a retirement home. It was a short service and the mother of one of my elders also lived there. One day we were finishing singing ”Because He Lives” which the 6 people gathered together (in various stages of dementia) knew by heart. We finished but then miraculously music began to play the refrain out of nowhereso we sang the refrain again together without missing a beat. I was astonished. I said to the director the boom box began playing the tune right at the perfect moment! She said that is more than miraculous because it is not plugged in! I left shaking... and called my elder to tell her about this crazy miracle.
