GOD'S GOT THIS ... WITH A WINK
“Lately I’ve had a lot of things on my mind including the health of my grandfather, POPO, called that because one cousin couldn't pronounce "grandpa".
I was thinking about him while waiting at a stop light, and the car to my right had a LICENSE PLATE that read POPO.
My heart leapt! What are the odds?
But then … I looked to my left. That car had a license plate that read: GODLVU!
Instantly, I felt a PEACE and my worries began to vanish. Thanks to my GODWINK I knew God was telling me, 'I got this!'"
