I would guess that the question has a different answer for everyone. This week, the Faith Jam prompt is a gift you've recently received from God, which is a bit of a twist on the usual question. As I was thinking through my answer, another one literally showed up on my doorstep. I'll tell you both, but I promise they'll be quick.
One afternoon this week I was making eggplant parm for dinner, and I planned to make breadsticks. Even though this recipe for breadsticks is quick and easy, I just ran out of time to make them. I considered calling my husband to ask him to stop for bread on his way home, but decided not to bother him. When I heard him arrive home, I met him at the door--and he was holding a bag of rolls. Not exactly a miracle, but a really neat provision.

The Lord’s promises are pure,I'm linking up to Bonnie Gray, Faith Barista:
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over. (Psalm 12:6, NLT)

Such a fun story of the breadsticks and rolls, Melissa. Sweet serendipity! (And a great reminder from the Psalms as well.)
