It was dark, dark, dark, when suddenly my headlights caught a young woman by the side of the highway, frantically waving her arms. I pulled over as quickly as I could, and my brother leapt from my car. <br /><br />The young woman threw her arms aroung his neck saying, "Thank you, thank you, we have been here waving for half an hour and no one would stop!"<br /><br />The young girls has hit an elk, which died on impact. Their car was written off completely, they couldn't drive, couldn't manage the twenty kilometres to the next phone.<br /><br />Standing by the side of the road, waving.<br /><br />Waiting for someone to help them.<br /><br />And no, I don't feel like my brother and I were "like Jesus" when we stopped to help. But at the same time, isn't it truly these small gestures that add up to a life of service? Don't the least of our gestures get added to the Final Measure before the Lord?<br /><br />We stopped that night because it was the right thing to do. I felt good about it then, I feel good about it now. God called us to help our fellow man, it wasn't dramatic or exciting or thrilling. It was just RIGHT. <br /><br />May He lead all of us to listen to the quiet voices in our hearts...Irmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187488217492892133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827017743032091342.post-76137224254900975682009-06-13T14:20:50.805-07:002009-06-13T14:20:50.805-07:00good post!
