My car ditched the road for the ditch full of muck
It rolled on its side
I rolled out; yelled, “Yuck!”
Then along came a dude in a big ol’ tow truck
Was it “luck”, or was it… the Lord?

I searched high and low for a job a full year
My kids rarely full
My spouse full of fear
Then appeared out of nowhere, an amazing career
“Lucky stars”, or the “Bright Morning Star”?

I dined alone, lonesome; long time since last hug
My joy was in “sleep mode”
My hopes were unplugged
Then an old friend embraced me, straight out-of-the-blue!
Was it “fate”, or perhaps You-Know-Who?

The prenatal test showed that something was wrong
The doc said “abort”
She “wouldn’t live long”
But our baby came out plenty normal and strong

Call it “chance”?

Or “happenstance”?

Not a chance…

With gusto, I call it God’s grace!
