Lug Nuts

Have you ever been amazed, oh, maybe you've never even given it a thought, at how close God is to you in the course of a day? The other day my husband and I were out in the garage looking at a tire on our "green machine" that had gone flat for the second time.  He is having a harder and harder time assisting with things that need strength and versatility. So, he explained everything to me and in short order I had the lug nuts off but now to lift the wheel off...and then what! 

So, we were just sitting there, pondering how to deal with it, as well as what resources we had were to fix it.  Without missing a beat the neighbor drove in. He is a mechanic!  Immediately, George took charge, removed the wheel, directed me to get some soapy liquid, took it to the hose and there we found the problem. 

With a phone call to his buddy up the road, the wheel now thrown in the back of his truck with an appointment for early the next morning, all our concerns were solved!  Yes, this all could have been called a "coincidence" but situations like these happen too often to us so I would rather say this is "God's way of remaining anonymous!" 

Yes, we have to have eyes that see life in ways that recognize God or a Higher Power.  Some don't, I know. I had a flat tire forty-two years ago an hour away from resources and a stranger came by to help so maybe I just know I am not alone in life.  So, next time you need to remove the "lug nuts" on your flat tire in life, I hope you will see God near you in your situation.  Don't you?  Thank you, God!  Thank you, George!
