When its meant to be, its meant to be
In our day-to-day lives, many things happen but sometimes a few incidents leave a lasting impact that we never forget and even share with others that, “When its meant to be, its meant to be”. My brother shared a similar story a few days earlier and it made me keep thinking, we make plans but God has other plans…
“I was traveling to another city and went to the guy who was warping the bags. He asked me if I need to double-wrap my bag, I refused as it would have cost me double as well. Everything went smoothly, after check-in on the way to the boarding lounge I bought some sweets for my family. I asked the shopkeeper about a particular sweet that my wife likes, he confirmed that they have that but I forgot to request him to include and he didn’t ask as well. I must clarify one thing before moving forward with my story, this shop was before the boarding lounge and passengers are not allowed to come back once they enter the lounge. I was sitting in the departure lounge and called my wife, we had a little chat in which she asked if I bought that sweet. At the same time, I heard that my name was been called on the announcement. I hung up the call and went to the desk to check if everything is ok. They said, sir, you need to check the bag that you sent in the luggage as there is some machine in it that is constantly running. I knew it was my trimmer, during check-in, it must have been turned on and now it is constantly running. I cut the wrapping plastic and checked, it was the trimmer but by that time, the battery ran out and the noise stopped. It was cleared and I went to the wrapping guy, paid him to wrap my bag again, came back to the lounge the same way, bought my wife’s favorite sweet without any hassle, and headed to the boarding lounge”.

I was truly amazed that God has different plans. He created an opportunity for the wrapping guy to earn some extra cash and for my wife to enjoy her favorite sweets. Everything was meant to be for sure. There's nothing thrilling in this story but it definitely left a lasting impact on me and I love to share it with others as well.
Sometimes you get something in a very unusual way and sometimes we strive hard to get something but we never get!
