A Small Miracle On The New Year's Eve

Jan. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- I had booked a table at Aladdin, a dance restaurant in Stockholm,  for the New Year's Eve.The receptionist  told me to be there before 9 p.m. , otherwise he would give the table to someone else. That evening, I watched the news on the TV, all dressed up and ready to go to town, but have fallen asleep in front of the TV. Suddenly, I woke up by an explosion in the middle of the room. It was a fire-cracker which came into my apartment which was on the seventh floor, through a five cm. opening in the balcony door. How does a fire-cracker climb up to the seventh floor and enter into my apartment, through such a small opening, just when I needed to be waked up, not to miss the bus to the station? It was a pure miracle. I hurried to the bus stop, entered the bus which pulled off right after I went into it.
Next bus would be half an hour later. Then I took the suburban train and arrived at the Stockholm Central Station and when I finally arrived at Aladdin, it was five to 9 p.m.
"Good timing, Sir" the receptionist commented. If you had not come by 9 , many people were waiting for your table.
After an enjoyable time, I left Aladdin little after midnight to catch the last train back home.
Again a connecting bus brought me to my neighbourhood. I took the elevator to the seventh floor, put in the key in the lock, in my apartment's door, and all the lights came out.
It was a nation-wide failure which lasted for four hours. What would I do, if  i were caught up in the elevator or in the train? This was a second small miracle in the same evening.
I thanked God for that evening.
Miracles happen in our lives - small or big- and help us when we are in need. They are not
random co-incidents. If they were, the fire-cracker would come into my living room at another time. The electricity failure would happen another time and not necessarily after I put the key into the lock of my door.
