"Wrong Turn" to Children's Castle

My children and I went down to visit my sister in Saitama. The first day, we went to a "Children's Castle". When we first got off the train at Shibuya, we took a wrong turn and ended up walking around for awhile instead of going directly there. It was hot and sweaty, seemingly a mistake. And when we got to the "Castle", we went down to the basement gym only to find it wouldn't open for another 45 mins. or so, so we had to go back upstairs, altho' the children did enjoy the "rock climbing on the wall" before we went back. We went to a play center with slides and nets and tunnels, a room with computer games, another craft area where the kids worked over an hour on woodwork creation to their heart's content, etc.... When we went to the cafeteria later, we realized: that "wrong turn" and trip down to the basement had made us just late enough so that the bulk of the other mothers and children were gone for lunch when we wanted to play--the children didn't have to wait once in usually long lines--and they'd emptied the cafeteria when we got there, so we didn't have to wait one minute there either! And we got to hit the drums & play the bamboo instruments in the music room while coached by a staffer; go to the 10th floor to make personalized computer-designed placards--saw those waiting lists were often 45 mins.' long!!! Yup, even some of our "mistakes" are allowed for God's orchestration of all things to work together for our good!

"And we know that ALL things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." (Rom. 8:28)
