It is easy to talk about getting
government out of the personal, corporate or foreign aid, but have no solutions
for filling any legitimate gaps. Heading home from church on July 29, 2013 Nay and passed a
van parked in a Holiday gas station lot with a hand written sign hanging from
the driver’s side mirror stating “need help, need
gas”.
Many people were passing the older
couple sitting in this battered older vehicle not offering to give assistance or
ask about their plight. We turned around and confirmed with the couple the need
for fuel. I instructed them to drive to the Holiday gas island about 30 feet
away. I told the man to just start pumping, he paused at $10.00 and I said
continue, he paused again at $20.00 and I said just fill it up. The vehicle
being filled with $49.97 of fuel, we shook hands and of they went in tears.
Christ instructed us to care for
those in need we meet in life. A great opportunity we had today, we hope you
have and take the same opportunity.
