Timing is everything and mistakes happen, but both often lead to great things and sometimes we don’t even know it. Such as, we may be late to the party, but if we had been on time, we would never have made it to the party anyway. As we would have been involved in the accident that the universe ensured we missed, so didn’t arrive at that black spot on time.

Or we are running late and just manage to grab that lucky dip lottery ticket at the very last moment before the lottery closed that evening, which just happened to be the numbers that came out that very night.

So it’s often good to be late even when we feel flustered desperately trying to get there on time. It’s sometimes good to miss a flight, a coach or boat when the sink, crash or fall from the sky. That is not luck, that is the great universe saving our ass, that is god saying, it’s not your time, I need you!

There is still work to do here, still things for you to learn, a purpose and a service to humanity. Then there are mistakes that serve us, such as in my lottery wins. Like one evening when I rushed into the shop at the very last minute just before the lottery closed for the night. For some unknown reason my slip didn’t work in the machine, so I had to write out another.

And as I did that I couldn’t see properly as I hadn’t taken my glasses and the lady behind the counter was shouting hurry up there’s only a minute left, so I blindly ticked off my usual Thunder ball number 9, and got my ticket just in time. Then Thunder ball 10 came up that night, so I picked up my ticket to throw it away then saw the Thunder ball was number 10.

So in my blind haste I had crossed off the wrong number, which turned out to be the winning number that day. And last night I wrote out 3 slips, because I like separate tickets, and handed them over then heard the new young assistant put them all through the machine. And I picked up two £3 scratch cards. I won £5 on each scratch card, then won £10 on one of the lottery tickets as I had 2 main numbers but also needed the Thunder ball.

Which I had on one of my tickets, but when I checked for which one had my winning Thunder ball number, I was genuinely shocked to find they all did. He had somehow mistakenly ignored the 2 other slips that lost, and put the same slip, with the same Thunder ball number through the machine 3 times as the universe granted me a £30 win, plus £10 card wins.

Now the thing is, I had just received so much help, food and money the day before, so this was a continuation of my run of good luck because I had 3 slips remember. So what are the chances of him holding 2 losing slips yet instead he didn’t put one of those through the machine 3 times!

He just happened to put the one winning Thunder ball number through, because if he hadn’t then the 2 main numbers I had are irrelevant. So we need 3 main numbers for a win if the Thunder ball doesn’t come out…

So that was another mini miracle, then one Christmas many moons ago, I treated myself to more Thunder ball tickets on 2 slips. And the shop lady put both slips through, or so I thought, then she started searching around.

Then said no ticket came out of the machine for this one, so I will put it through again. I said ok, then took my 2 tickets home and won £1,200 on the tickets on those 2 slips for Christmas! I went to the post office in the Christmas week and picked up a lottery check then popped it in the bank.

Brilliant, I was so happy, warm, comfortable, grateful and love Christmas before I won that money, that is why I won it! But my surprise wasn’t over yet, as someone knocked on my door and said, the lady at the shop wants to see you. So I went over there, and she was panicking, and told me she was cleaning around the counter and found my lottery ticket that had fallen down behind the machine that day. So she said she tried to cash it for me through her machine, but it told her she had to collect it from the post office and sign for it. She told a customer what she had done, and he said just throw it away, Linda will never know, and the HQ won’t notice.

But she couldn’t bare to throw it in the bin and said Linda is always short of money so I can’t do that to her, and so she gave it to me. The question is, would she have told me if it had paid out no trouble? Why would she even try to cash it, instead of handing it over to me when I went in there as she was doing now? If it had gone through would she ever have told?

I really don’t care about her motives that day because she was good to me for 10 years, and the universe protected my winnings by making sure she couldn’t cash in so easily. And if it was truly meant for her she would have received it and I would never have known, so no harm done. But instead, the universe surprised me with an extra £600 that day, making my win up to £1,800 that Christmas. And I paid off my rent arrears, and also bought clothes I so desperately needed, and toiletries I couldn’t afford. I also bought Christmas presents for family I didn’t have any money for. So the universe miraculously covered everything I needed that very Christmas!

If you are aligned the universe will protect you and deliver all your needs, There is a saying, humans plan and god laughs. That is because planning is so often futile, as things hardly ever work out the way we expect. So just dream, be happy, be grateful, believe, allow, accept, align and so receive!
