(Clearwisdom.net) One time when I packing my suitcase to go to a conference, I couldn't find my passport. I searched everywhere twice, even three times, but I just couldn't find it. I didn't even remember having seen it after my previous journey. The only thing I could do, as it was the day I was to travel, was to go to the police station to get a new passport.
When I was waiting for my turn at the passport office, a Chinese man came in. I immediately understood that he was the reason I was there that day--I was to tell him the facts about Dafa. He looked a little confused and was looking at the papers on the shelf, so I offered him help with choosing the proper forms and filling them out correctly. In the end I gave him some truth clarification materials and a VCD. I completed my application and left to go back home to finish packing. The passport would be ready in a few hours and I would go back to pick it up right before leaving for the airport.
At home, when I was done, and just about to leave, I found the passport in the middle of my room, on top of the TV. I had actually taken it out of the drawer, where I stored it earlier that week to prepare for the travel, but this had completely escaped my memory. It was the only place I hadn't searched, because in the back of the mind I had the thought that it could absolutely not be there among the few papers I had on top of the TV.
I had to go to pick up the passport, since a cancellation had automatically been issued on the old one, and I needed to call it off to be able to use it. On the way to the passport office, I thought, "This can't be Master's arrangement, as I lost the 45 euros (60 dollars) for the new passport, Master could have arranged meeting with that Chinese person another way, without me having to lose money when I don't have much of it." Well, when I told the passport official that I had found the passport, she returned the money, to my surprise. I thought that losing the time was not a problem after all, so I figured that everything then possibly had to happen the way it did. Another thing I also learned that day, once again actually, is that sometimes the solution might be found where I consciously or subconsciously think it absolutely can't. Therefore stopping to give things a thought is important before acting.
