God watches over us

Here is an amazing story that showed me that God was watching over me, whether I was aware or not.

On a Sunday afternoon, Oct 18, 2009 I was behind a car wash organizing my vehicle and about ready to leave, when I noted my car had locked itself.
Here I was wondering what was I going to do. My keys and cell phone were inside the vehicle.

I pondered about going across the street as a saw an auto parts store to see if I could call a service that unlocks locked car.
It was Sunday so I kind of doubted if anyone was working that day.

Then I see a guy park his car in front of me. I decide to ask him if he could allow me to use his cell phone. He called 411 for information but after about 10 minutes trying we have no luck.
I was of kind of disappointed and asked him what I should do. He tells me to go to a gas service station down the road and see what they can do for me.

So I walk about 5-10 minutes in this chilly day to this gas station, kind of upset at myself and him for not helping me further.
I am waiting in line when I see a guy with two slices of pizza eating behind me. So I motion him to go ahead so he can pay for his pizza. I told him I needed a yellow book so I could call a service that unlocks my vehicle.
Then he tells me that he would be able to help me with this.
It happened that at that same time he had stopped with his towing truck to get something to eat.

I know this may look like a coincidence. But what are the chances?
God was watching over me even if I was not aware of. I praise Him for that.

So he allows me to ride with him back to my vehicle and he goes ahead and unlocks my car. I was so grateful. Sometimes God uses normal people like him for His glory. I thank God for his mercies that abounds forever.
Praise God.
