Getting what you want in ways you didn't expect

Tweet

Today my husband drove around from shop to shop, because he was looking for a table for our basement. He visited shops on our own island as well as shops on the neighbour islands. He found several tables, but there was something wrong with all of them: They weren't the right size, they weren't made from the right kind of wood, they were too expensive for our budget etc. He had to return without a table and he was sad and disappointed. 4 hours later my mother called. She didn't know that my husband had been looking for a table, but she said: "I am calling because one of my friends just told me that she has a table that she doesn't need anymore and she wondered if you would be interested in that table" My mother described the table and it was exactly the kind of table my husband was looking for! Have you ever experienced a situation where your wish was fulfilled in an unexpected way and what happened?
