I just got a phone call from my son. I sent him to the store for 3 things quite awhile ago so I was starting to wonder where he was. When I answered the phone, he apologized for taking so long but that he was "doing his paying it forward." A few weeks ago, I wrote about 4 young guys helping us when we went off of the road. As we thanked them and they left, they said to pay it forward sometime. I'm proud to say my son took that to heart.
So, on his way to the store, he saw a guy having tire trouble. He stopped to help and after a series of unfortunate events, the guy's boss came with some tools to help. They commented on how rare it is that someone would stop to help- especially a teenager. (I personally think teens are the most helpful, giving people whenever they get the chance- but that's just my opinion!) During their long ordeal, my son happened to find out that the two guys were Christians, they have a maintenance business, and that they are looking to hire a 3rd person. Since my son happens to be looking for a job, this might have worked out quite well for him. The owner said he should expect a call in the next few days.
Where was God today? He was in the heart of my son who chose to be a good Samaritan. And, just maybe this was all part of God's plan to help him find a job. We'll see!
Luke 10:37
