It’s great to have thing go right, and being able to recognize it and give thanks.

I would say that it is God giving you favor.

This last Saturday, I went to a local church banquet that I was invited to. This wasn’t a purchase a ticket, but rather a free men’s banquet dinner for the church. There was a veterans drawing at the very beginning of dinner, and I was lucky enough to win a brand new Remington 870 shotgun. This is the seventh firearm that I have one in 5.5 years. And I am not one of these buy a 100 tickets people. It usually comes from being a door prize, or the gun of the night prize. Prior to my first firearm I won, I haven’t won anything in over 20 years. It’s funny how this stuff works sometimes.
