MYSTERIOUS WAYS

  

A woman was at work when she received a phone call from the baby sitter that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter. Upon returning to her car, she found she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter and didn't know what to do, so she called and told the baby sitter what had happened. The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She told the woman, "You might find a coat hanger and use it to open the door."

The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground...possibly by someone who at some time or other had locked their keys in the car. But she didn't know how to use the hanger. She bowed her head and asked God to send her some help.

Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "THIS is what You sent to help me?" But she was desperate, so she tried to be thankful. The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said, "Yes! My daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" "Sure!" he said. He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened.

She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank you so much! You are a very nice man." The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and I've only been out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears she cried out loud... "Thank you, Lord, for sending me a professional!
