On 
          March 3, 2004, my 28th birthday, I had an experience that made me realize 
          Master’s blessing power is with us always, especially in times 
          of trouble!
         
          That night, after my roommate and I returned home from a day at the 
          beach, he temporarily parked his car in the street outside our house, 
          and not in the garage as usual. I then hurried inside to make a phone 
          call. About twenty minutes later, I heard the sound of the car starting 
          up, and suddenly felt that someone was trying to steal it. I ran to 
          tell my roommate, but he failed to react and simply refused to believe 
          that his car would disappear. 
         
          Later when he discovered that the car was really gone, his face became 
          frozen in shock. I then reminded him to call the police, and told him 
          that I felt the car would be returned soon. But he was so depressed 
          that he did not even hear what I was saying.
         
          Back in my room, I sat down quietly on my bed, closed my eyes and told 
          Master, “If the car isn’t returned, my roommate will be 
          very, very sad since just two days ago he finished replacing its tires 
          and battery cables, and now it looks as if his work has been wasted. 
          Moreover, if he doesn’t get the car back, he’ll be in even 
          worse financial trouble than he already is, and I only began driving 
          the car a few days ago and am just getting used to it. Thus, if the 
          car isn’t returned, we’ll both have serious problems.” 
          
         
          After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and happened to see one of Master’s 
          books lying near my pillow. I opened it casually and on the page before 
          me saw a story entitled “My Loving Car Came Back!” I then 
          smiled and knew I had already received my answer from our dearest Master 
          Ching Hai! 
         
          Next I went to comfort my roommate. “Take it easy,” I told 
          him. “Have you heard this story? A man lost his favorite stallion, 
          but a few days later the horse returned, and brought a mare with him. 
          So the man got back even more than he had lost. Don’t worry, if 
          the car runs out of gas, the thief will abandon it and the police will 
          find it.” 
         
          When I got up the next day, my roommate told me that the police had 
          called him to say they had found the car in the town of Ringwood, some 
          distance from our place! And the situation unfolded exactly as I had 
          told him: The car had run out of gas, and with the nearest gas station 
          two kilometers away, the thief had left it in the middle of the road 
          where the police discovered it. My roommate was so excited that he shouted 
          to me, “Angel, you’re my special angel! And you were right 
          about that horse story you told me because when I drove the car back, 
          I found that its broken headlight had already been fixed.” 
         
          At that moment, my heart swelled with joy, and I knew that this was 
          the best birthday gift I had ever received from Supreme Master Ching 
          Hai. For through this experience, my roommate has become more respectful 
          of Master and has drawn nearer to Her, and also, I am more confident 
          than ever before. Because I now know that whatever happens, everything 
          will work out in the end through our own efforts and Master’s 
          grace! Her blessing power and true love are always with us, no matter 
          who we are or where we may be!
