This morning we went to the park and all walked. Daddy actually ran because he is now training for a 5k which is just over 3 miles. Afterwards we went to McDonald’s where daddy got a salad. I am trying to lose weight and get in shape. I even bought myself new running shoes last week which so far are pretty comfy to run in.
After McDonald’s we filled up the car at WaWa. (If you are looking for a good price for gas the WaWa on Philadelphia Pike is at $3.99 still) As I was putting the pump back and ready to get in the car I noticed that the vehicle next to us had a flat front tire. I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to go help the couple out. So I walked over to them and told them about their tire. I told them that they could pull over to the air pump and I would pump their tire up for them. So they did. As I was putting the valve stem back on and rolling up the air line the lady said “God sent you to do that for us and you probably didn’t know it.” She went on to say that her husband has a bad heart and shouldn’t be doing anything. I told her that I am a Christian and that I felt like the Lord prompted me to stop and help them out. And for a moment our hearts were knitted together in unity. It was then I heard God whisper to me “This is Evidence of me…I prompted you to do this. They needed you.” I needed that reminder today.
This reminds me of our One Prayer Message tomorrow. It is entitled “Make us One”. What happened this morning was another reminder of how much we need each other. God wants to use you to touch someone else’s life. And he will if you will only listen and obey.
21 But He replied to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who hear and do the word of God.” Luke 8:21
Jeff,
Cool story with helping out the couple at WaWa! Keep up the running…I wish I could get my rear in gear!
