Was this a sign?

I have a close friend who's going through somehting. It was a very difficult problem that she had to face, and this wasnt her first time going through it. I tried to comfort her and support her as much as I possibly could. But in the end I felt like I made no difference.

I left her for a while to go do something. I walked to my destination and discovered that it was closed. But i kept walking. I just had a feeling that I should keep going. While walking I passed by a lady. I cant really put it into words, but I got a feeling from her. Some sort of vibe. We didnt speak, I only looked at her for a split second. Two people who were walking behind me passed her by as well. She offered them a pamthlet and one of them took it, the other said no. I immediatly knew it was a pamthlet about God. There are people who pass out the same types of papers where I live. I didnt really wonder why she didnt offer me one. But I kept on walking.

Sooner or later I turned around to go back to my friends house, and I was about to pass the woman again. This time she spoke to me.

"Would you like a piece of information today?" She said.
I looked down at the paper in her outreached hand. It's was talking about exactly what my friend was going through. I frooze where I stood and looked up at her.
"You may not need it, but someone you may know might."
I smiled at her and gratefuly took the pamthlet. I tucked it under my arm and walked the rest of my way back to my friends house. I could not believe that that just happened to me. I thought, "This has to be some sort of sign."
When I saw my friend I had to tell her.
"Some lady on the street gave me this papaer. You might want to read.'
Her back was turned and she denied the paper. She already knew what it was about. Ofcorse I couldnt force her to take it, and I knew it would upset her if I left it on her bed where she could see it. I ended up throwing it in the trash.

But Im wondering, what if she did read it? Would everything be different today???
