The Locked Car -

The story is told of a woman received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left work and stopped by the pharmacy for some medication for her daughter. She returned to her car to find she had locked her keys inside. She had to get home to her sick daughter and didn't know what to do. She called her home to the baby sitter, and was told her daughter was getting worse.

The sitter said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground, as if someone else had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." She stopped for a moment and asked God for help.

An old rusty car pulled up, driven by a dirty, greasy, bearded man with a biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "Good heavens, Lord, this is what you sent to help me?" But she was desperate and thankful.

The man got out of his car and asked if he could help. She said "Yes, my daughter is very sick and I need get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car."

He said, "sure" and walked over to the car and in seconds the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "thank- you very much - You're a very nice man."

The man replied, "Lady, I ain't a nice man. I just got out of prison for car theft."

The woman hugged the man again and said real loud, "THANK YOU GOD FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL! "

God sends who we need, even if they are not the most loveable.

And He sometimes uses people that are not Christians so that they can see how we react; as He shines through us...
