What are the ODDS?!?

Did I share with you that I lost a small little piece of plastic lens cover to my handphone on watchnight?!? That piece was like -so small - probably a quarter the size of a five-cent coin. It prob came out because Kendrick has been dropping my phone - I suppose it was a matter of time....
What's so important you may ask? Well... many people know me to be a high-tech garang guni man - so to have the phone intact was gonna be important in my *ahem* next 'trading'. Well - let's just say it is a more affordable way to keep up to date with my hobby of gadgets....
Anyways, I moved ALL over PL that day - what would have been the ODDS of recovering that puny little piece of transparent plastic?!? I decided that I probably would not be able to recover it - and be prepared to trade this trusty BENQ phone for lower price...
Well...today I open my laptop - there was this small piece of plastic - I almost threw it away - I looked closely - I couldn't believe it - I matched it to my phone - SURE ENOUGH - it was the lens cover! I was elated!
Part 2 - there's more. I decided to put it at my computer desk - to have it pieced back later. My wife came to use the comp - decided to clear the table.... and yes- you guessed it - packed some things, and threw some things away without noticing the lens cover! Arrggghhh.... what are the ODDS of finding that AGAIN!? It could be anywhere in the house... dropped on the floor... stepped on by someone ... carried else where - rolled underneath some dusty corner... it was so small it was gonna be hard.. my heart dropped...
Then I said - well - "God- if you can do it -you can do it again!". I searched round the computer desk... nothing. Finally - with a heavy heart - I search the dustbin. You wouldn't believe it - I found it there!!!!
Immediately - I knew He wanted me to experience the feeling of FINDING something that was LOST again. Luke 15:8-10. Parable of the lost coin - in the context of a sinner that repents. I remembered now that I was praying to God to renew my compassion for the lost - and He did an experiencial workshop for me. Two times over. Thank you God. :)
