A Mother-in-Law’s Redemption

55

Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get a result, and sometimes everything works out literally by itself. But in both cases, you should not write off luck as the final touch to achieving the goal. The heroes of this article shared stories exactly like this.

  • My car broke down on a 2-lane highway in the middle of the Appalachians, 20 miles from the closest city and with no cell reception. The first vehicle around the bend was my grandfather, who lived 3 hours away. He had randomly decided to go on a weekend trip to the mountains. From break down to being picked up was less than 5 minutes.
  • My mother-in-law gave me an old antique sewing machine for my birthday. My husband laughed, but I liked it. And 5 years later, he left me. For a young mistress. My husband, a lawyer, took away our car and flat.
    When my mother-in-law heard about it, she called me and invited me over. And then she confided in me that there were real diamonds inside the machine. They were left by her grandmother. She apologized for her son and invited me to live with her.
    And you won’t believe it: we moved to France, bought a house there with the money from the diamonds. She’s a marvelous woman.
  • I visited my school teacher, haven’t seen her for 6 years. We chatted, she told me about her daughter. And I was like, what daughter? She only has a grown-up son.
    She says she adopted a girl. She took a new class and there was a girl who didn’t have a notebook or stationery. The teacher told her, “Tell your mum to buy this and that for school.” And then all children said, “She doesn’t have a mum, she’s an orphan!”
    And the girl turned out to be modest, obedient, diligent. Her mother disappeared a long time ago, and her grandmother-guardian sent her to the orphanage. The teacher would bring her a beautiful notebook or give her something to eat. So they became attached to each other.
    And one day the girl asked her, “Are you my mum?” The teacher didn’t even know what to say. She told her husband at home, so they decided to adopt. She’s been living with them for 5 years, everything is fine. I’m so happy for them!
  • Took the wife out for her first fishing trip, she tries her first cast, a terrible effort. The lure bounces off the rock we’re standing on and falls into the water 6 inches away from our feet. And immediately into the mouth of one of the biggest bass I’ve ever seen. I got skunked that day, with my decades of experience and expensive gear.
  • I went to the supermarket to the other end of the city to buy chocolate that I couldn’t find anywhere else. When I arrived, it wasn’t there either! The seller said that the last time they had it was a year ago.
    I made a fuss. Why did their website say that it’s in stock when it’s not?! Angry and upset, I left with nothing, I only wasted petrol.
    I came home and accidentally found the same chocolate in the bottom drawer. The one who seeks finds.
  • In my third year at university, I was literally a couple of points short of a good grade. This would have helped me keep my scholarship. The teacher seemed to sympathize with me, reminded me of all my past merits, but I was still a little short.
    Suddenly he asks me to turn my back, runs his fingers over it, and asks, “How many cats do you have?” I say that I have 3. And he says, “Yeah, I see the fur on your jumper.” And then he gives me the necessary grade! It turned out that he is very fond of animals and often helps shelters.
  • Many years ago I was totally broke, even working 2 jobs. I would eat macaroni and hotdogs or tuna every night. I couldn’t afford to put gas in my car, so I’d walk to my job.
    One evening, while walking home in the dark around 11:00 p.m, I saw a $50 bill on the snow. After picking it up, my immediate thought was I could buy groceries, but there was thought that another person might be as broke as me who lost the money. So I stood in a field for an hour freezing thinking the person who lost the money would come looking for it, but they never did.
    I can’t begin to tell you how much finding the $50 impacted me. Not only could I eat but put gas in my car. It seemed my life changed at that moment, which it 

    What happened next changed everything…
