This maybe a small event, but it really touched me today. I recently had surgery on my gum and noticed that my jaw was swelling and hurting more over the last few days. I went back to the oral surgeon and he took one look at me and said "you have an infection". He prescribed me some antibiotics and as I was walking out, I thought to myself, oh this is just great. One more thing to deal with in my busy life.
Then as I was walking to my car in the parking lot, a lady in her early 40's I guess came up to me and in broken english asked if I would please help her. I said sure what do you need. She said she parked her car in the parking lot and now it wont start. She had this contraption in her car that has a battery and jumper cables and air pump all in one. She said that her husband had to use it to start the car this morning and she didnt know how to use it.
I said no problem, open the hood and I hooked it up and she started her car. I unhooked everything and put it back in her trunk and told her not to turn off her car till she gets home as either her charging system is working properly or more likely the battery is bad.
She tried to slip me a $10.00 bill for helping and I shrugged her off. No way I was going to take $10 from her. Then she looked me in the eye and said thank you so much. Then she said, I am going to pray to God on your behalf tonight! I was shocked. I never met her, I have never seen her before. I told her about the infection in my jaw and she said she would address it in her prayers.
I was really touched. I mean that has never happened to me ever in my life . I just felt God's presence and that he showed me how much he cares for me.
