Parking Close to Wherever I Need

In the midst of all that I’m doing and is happening to me, here in Dubai, I see that God continues to look out after me and gives me small, endearing messages.

I’ve told others, for example, that about 7 out of 10 times, I will find a parking space close to wherever I need to be.  To wit:
  • Last night, Thursday, at Barracuda: I slowly entered the parking area and drove toward the entrance. At that moment, a car was pulling out – literally next to the entrance!
  • The night before, Wednesday, at Chowking in Satwa: Traffic all around, as usual, especially on the street into Satwa. I work my way through, being watchful an going slowly, and what do I find… a parking space in front of Chowking!
  • One week ago, Saturday, at City Centre: Again, patient, slow driving in the parking area, and lo and behold I find a parking space near the P3 entrance, which is where Carrefour is nearest to. 
The secret is to be patient, go slow, and look for people walking toward their car. These are things that I have control over. But for the most part, I’m lucky. Lucky, in the sense that God surely looks out after me.
