The Simplest of Things

Have you ever had the opportunity to help someone out, but you felt like you either didn't have the time, cause you were too busy, or that someone else would just do it. I know I have. So many times I live my life for myself and miss opportunitys to help others. And isn't that what we are called to do? well today God opened my eyes. I was leaving from a meeting at Cracker Barrel, where I work, when I saw one of my co-workers pushing another co-workers car. I didn't ask if they needed help, that was obvious. Now normally I would have just continued the walk to my car and assume someone else would help, plus it was freezing outside and I was wearin a light jacket. But I put my discomforts aside and helped. I helped push the car into a parking spot where we could take a closer look at the car. We came to figure out that she had just simply ran out of gas. So she had connections with the local firehouse and they were wiillin to come and give her gas. But God had another plan, just as she hung up the phone a guy pulled up and asked if we needed gas. He then pulled over and gave the car gas to get to a station. God continues to amaze me, every day.And I just praise Him for not letting me miss an opportunity to help someone in need. I am telling yall this so that you can look closely at every day...Don't miss an opportunity to step out of your daily routine to help someone in need. Even if it is the littlest, simplest thing, you will be amazed at how appreciative people are. But I also ask that you give all the glory to God, because it is only throught him that we can live each and every day.
