A funny thing happened yesterday, that I think you may enjoy.
Yesterday, I picked up a friend to go out to lunch at at a local Deli. I was in his neighborhood for my quarterly visit to the doctor to have my trach changed. After we ate, we went next door to see my cousin who works at CVS and she was telling us how proud she was with her two girls - both are now in college. They truly are wonderful girls, she is absolutely right.
During the conversation, she pointed at the ceiling and she said, "I owe God for having such great girls." Then she looked at me as said quickly, "I know you don't believe in that stuff."
I was a little surprised by her comment, but generally she is correct. So, then I responded and said, "Don't underestimate your contribution as a great mother." As a result of the exchange, I was thinking about what she said in the background of my mind.
She had to get back to work, so we left to take my friend back to his apartment. On the way back, we were sitting at a traffic light waiting to take a turn. As I was sitting there, I glanced up at the time and temperature sign and I saw something surprising. The sign said, "Call" ... "Joe" ... "4:23". I thought to myself, this must be a message from God. I turned to my mom and friend and said, "Look at the sign, I think God is talking to me." My friend read the sign and said, "No, that is a Joe Bornstein advertisement that's been going on all week for his law firm." I said, "Thanks for bursting my bubble, I thought I was having a religious experience."
