Serendipity

Serendipity: the making of fortunate and unexpected discoveries quite by accident. Is it fate, or sheer luck that comes into play when serendipitous acts occur? I'd like to think it was fate that had a hand in this, that God is somehow moving people into places so the circumstances can play out in just such a way that the outcome is fortunate to those involved. Is that too much to hope for? I don't think so. My faith tells me otherwise.
