There are several words used to name a blessing from heaven. Some call it grace. Others call it a tender mercy from the Lord. Whatever you may call it, today I am grateful for one of those.
I signed up for a one-on-one oral exam with a teacher this afternoon. I went to the classroom and found nobody there. No one arrived at all for the next twenty minutes. I didn't know what to do to find out the room number for the exam. I couldn't send an e-mail or call my teacher because he was busy with the exam. My exam time quickly approached, and I decided to try his office.
On my way there, one of my classmates walked past me. I called her name and asked her where the exam was. It was in a study room in the library. I thanked her and arrived just a few minutes early to my exam. I am grateful that I passed the exam, but I am so much more grateful that I was given the means to find out where to go. This is called coincidence, but I am grateful for it. Because I know that every good thing comes from God, I consider this coincidence a tender act of grace for me.
