GODWINKS & LAUGHS
“It was one of those FRAZZLED days prior to the holidays when the sky seemed to have forgotten how to do anything but rain. I was behind schedule, trying to finish errands before the next DOWNPOUR.
As I turned into the lot, the rain was THREATENING to EXPLODE again, so I started scanning for the nearest PARKING SPOT, hoping to get in and out quickly.
And then I saw it… a perfect spot, right NEAR the FRONT DOOR of the store. It just opened up.
I turned the wheel quickly and, with a grateful sigh, exclaimed, "Ohhh, THANK YOU, JESUS!"
But before I could finish celebrating my small victory, something ODD happened. From the car’s speakers, I heard a voice. "YOU'RE WELCOME. I try to be HELPFUL!"
I froze. Did I hear that right?
I glanced at the control panel in disbelief. Then it HIT me… I must have accidentally pressed the VOICE COMMAND button as I turned the wheel…
…and my enthusiastic "thank you, Jesus" had prompted a REPLY!
I couldn’t help it—I burst out LAUGHING. There I was, in the middle of impending CHAOS, and somehow even my car was getting in on the DIVINE HUMOR.”

Don’t we love moments like these? God’s sense of humor, sends us little Godwinks to remind He’s always there—even in the most ordinary or goofy situations.
Let’s adopt Carol’s attitude for the New Year. Let’s get ready for the all the LAUGHS that GOD will be stimulating amidst trying situations.
