My aging pickup left me stranded in Bunkie, LA this week. Wasn’t that bad at all. Good people there. And everyone – tow truck driver, mechanic, 2nd mechanic after the first couldn’t fix it, 1st mechanic again – told me something I needed to hear. “The good Lord was watching out for you!” I only had the chance to talk to one of these individuals about their relationship with God, but when you’re going through a trial, no matter how small, assurance of God’s presence, no matter where it comes from, is like a sip of cold water on a hot day.

Hope to pass on that reminder to someone today and everyday as well.
