Kindness of Strangers

This afternoon my mom asked me to grab a few groceries for her because she was going to Indy with Dad and couldn't go to the store. I ran to the store and got the few items and then headed to the gas station to fill the gas can. I still had over $20 left and never thought about that not being enough to fill a gas can. I filled the gas can and THEN looked at the total. Yikes! That is not a good idea. But I decided that even though I hated how much it was I did have the money for it. Wrong again. When I went to pay I didn't have as much money left as I thought I did. I told the woman what happened and step out of line to call someone. I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to do because my parents were on their way to Indianapolis and my older sisters were in Royal Center. I called Monica to see if she just happened to be in town. While I was on the phone this man came up to me and asked if I just needed some change. I told him it was a few dollars and he walked away. Monica was just telling me that she could give her credit card number over the phone when the man came up again and handed me his business card and $5 and told me just to send it back to him! I was pretty surprised! All I know about him is he is a construction worker with a three generation business that was established in 1944. That is what his card says. Tomorrow morning $5 will be headed off in the mail. Praise God for always providing even in the most unexpected ways.
