Coincidence or Godincidence? You decide!

I was reading an article this morning in my Popular Photography Magazine and am amazed at how our Lord works.....the writer was given an assignment to write an article
"The Photographer's Guide to the Eye". The writer was personally fighting a personal battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma which had caused severe dry eyes- he went on to say that his eyes had not produced tears in three years causing enormous amounts of pain. So while he was doing research for his assignment he came across an article that spoke of a treatment/study overseas that uses the plasma(serum) from your red blood cells mixed with a saline solution to produce a customized eyedrop to sooth the pain of the dry eyes. At the end of the article he talks about what a miracle it was that he was chosen to write the article which would lead him to find a treatment to his own sufferings.

So he never gives God credit in black and white but as I finished reading the article I smiled for having been witness to one of God's many miracles:)

If you want to read the article by John Owens- it's on pg 14 of the August 2008 issue of Popular Photography.

that reminds me, one of my favorite quotes... the one that goes, "A coincidence is when God acts and chooses to remain anonymous." :)
