Dial G-O-D

Over the weekend, I was depositing some money through a cash deposit machine at a bank when the machine jammed, with all my money in it. Since the bank was closed, I couldn't get help. In a blink of an eye, a few thousand bucks was gone - my hard earned paycheck & half month bonus. Stunned, I punched & kicked the machine but the words, "Out of service" continued flashing. I didn't know what to do except "sms" a couple of friends to pray for me while I figure out what to do next.

This morning, I hopped over to the bank & was I surprised to find the money already deposited into my account. Relieved, I walked over to the next shop to top-up my prepaid phone card. The lady at the shop handed me a gift. It's one of those accessories people hang on their handphones, which blinks when a call is coming through. They come in all shapes & sizes. At that particular "china-man" shop, the last shape I expected to see was, a "cross". It didn't blink but I knew the call went through.

God bless my friends.
