Prayer Partners Come When You Least Expect Them

by Suzanne VanderFeen on 01/04/12

I was in a hurry again! Did I not just make a promise to myself to live and embrace the present? Rushing into the post office,I locked my car keys and phone in my car.

 Walking home in the shoes I had on was not an option and everyone's phone number I knew in my head, was at work this time of day.

A gentleman leaving the post office asked me where I lived and offered me a ride home.

Now I know what you are thinking! How many times have I told Sarah, "Never take a ride from a stranger"?

Sometimes God places kind people in our paths too.

Jim Hoover talked about his good wife and church as he drove me to my home. He asked about what my husband did for a living and where we went to church.

Then he asked me for my hand as we drove the few miles left to my home. Jim and I  prayed aloud, asking God to help us know when to trust and do things for ourselves. We prayed for healing for my father inlaw.

I am so grateful God placed this Christian in my path today. And I pray that Jim be blessed and  continues to bless other people's lives. Amen
