Learning and lessons can come to us in all forms ….
Gloria Gaither wrote a wonderful children’s song ….
My Father’s Angels
I could never stray so far
My father would lose track of where I am
Angels walk beside me
Holding tightly to my hand
Refrain:
They’re all above me
Beneath me
Before me
They’re all around me
My Father’s angels
All protect me everywhere
Even when the night’s so dark
I just can’t see a thing in front of me
I won’t need to worry that they see me
Refrain
While driving herself to dialysis treatment this morning, Irene knew that the car wasn’t driving well but couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the problem was coming from. We conferred on the cell phone since I was in the Silicon Valley (75 miles away) and agreed that she could carefully drive the car home on back roads avoiding the freeway and to call me if any complication developed.
She completed dialysis and began driving home only to discover that a flat tire was the culprit. It just so happened that where she pulled to the side of the road and examined the car was directly across the street from a tire repair shop!! As she was watching the crew replace the flat tire with the spare she noticed another tire repair shop right next door!! She immediately thought of Gloria Gaither’s song and rejoiced in God’s provision and protection. She safely drove home and relaxed for the balance of the day.
We know “all things work together for good, for those who love God and are called to his eternal purposes.” (Romans 8:28)
Yes, learning and lessons can come to us in all forms …. even from a flat tire.
