The taxi drivers who brought unity back again

I'm a person who does her very best to avoid taking taxis, believing that they are a huge waste of money for non-work, non-profitable uses.

So it was with great reluctance when I woke up at 8a.m this morning (my official working hours starts from 8.30a.m) and know that this oversleeping will cause me 10 bucks.

Imagine my concern when I got into the cab and discovered I have only all of $8. Pretending to be casually glancing around, I looked out for a credit card processing machine and did not find any. (Don't all cab companies install credit card processing machines now??) I prayed that what I have will be enough so imagine my delight when a ride that normally comes to around $10 comes up to a grand total of $7.90. Thank God!

Now with only spare change in my wallet, it's time to visit the nearest ATM. It was uncomfortable to find, waiting by the lift, a colleague, and a sister-in-christ whom I had fallen out with some time back.

Deciding that a regale of my morning adventures would be the best thing to cut away the awkward silence, she cut me off with 'You know what, I was late too, and have my cab driver waiting downstairs for me right now because I don't have enough money to pay him. He's going to drive me to the nearest ATM.' She opened up her wallet and lo and behold, there's only $8 inside.

We also discovered that:
- Without prior arrangement, we had McDonald's for breakfast this morning
- Our lunch periods are free which is very rare (Guess we found our lunch partner hah?)

All these coincidences may sound really petty but the important thing is, these petty coincidences brought out common, interesting topics that broke the ice and brought back the feeling of familiarity that exists between us, sisters-in-christ, before the quarrel that disunites us.

And it is God's will that his kingdom people are united isn't it?

"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit." - Eph 2:14-18

What does this say about differing viewpoints about predestination vs free-will or conservative vs charismatic movement? Isn't it time to just focus that we have unity in belief of Christ as our Saviour and trust that we are just different organs in the body of Christ?

I don't know about you but I'm going to check if these coincidences translate to 4D profitability. ;)
