Today I was to meet with an old friend for breakfast at my favorite breakfast spot in town: City Café. I got there about 15 minutes early and as I sat down to peacefully read the morning newspaper, however I could overhear a distressed woman talking on her cell phone about how someone had picked up her keys and taken them by mistake at the café counter. She was stuck and I knew it...
"Self-will" said: "Enjoy your paper! your friend is going to be here soon, she'll find a way to work, it's her problem, not yours..."
However, I have Jesus living in me and He was "nudging" me! Here was an opportunity I pray for: here was a chance to show unconditional love with no strings attached! So I offered her a ride to work and she accepted without blinking an eye! She was willing to take a ride from a perfect stranger and a solitary, middle-aged man that, in the big city of Kitchener! It took me a total of 10 minutes to get her there and she as she left my car and thanked me, I was able to say it was my joy to help her out...
