Miracle

I had been searching high and low for my missing electronic organiser since last Wednesday night (24 Oct), after returning home from my badminton session. I went through my bag repeatedly, and the following day even went back to Basel Hall to check if I had accidentally left it there. I was certain I had brought it along to the game that night - but there was simply no sign of it.

Back at the office, I searched my table thoroughly - not once, but several times - hoping it had been misplaced there. Still, nothing. Unlike Serene, who knew exactly where she lost her ring, I had no clue where mine could be. That made the search all the more difficult. After almost a week, I was ready to give up. I told myself it was probably time to let go of this “old” gadget and perhaps replace it with a more stylish, modern organiser. After all, friends had often urged me to move with the times and upgrade to something new.

Yet, I couldn’t quite let go. That little device held so much of my life - hundreds of addresses and phone numbers, PINs, passwords, membership details, and countless other essentials. The thought of starting over from scratch was daunting.

This morning, before leaving for work, I whispered a final prayer: “God, You know how desperate I am for this organiser. I have no other alternative but to turn to You one last time. Please, somehow, lead me to it.”

A little later, as I entered the conference room for our weekly staff devotion and prayer meeting, I froze in astonishment. There it was - my organiser - sitting neatly on top of the conference table!

There was no need to ask how it got there. For me, it was enough to recognise it for what it was: another miracle.
