Help From Strangers.

October 22

Everything seems fine until we smell gasoline. I pull over our car over and lift up the hood. Gasoline is dripping from the fuel line. It is a miracle that the engine hasn’t caught fire. Now what do I do?
A car pulls in behind me. The driver sees the leak and proceeds to tape the split hose. What a Godsend he is. Come to think of it, I have had a lifetime of Good Samaritans who have come by and bailed me out of trouble. on the roadways and byways of life. Many of them were strangers but as the parable says, the ones who show mercy are my real neighbors.

Then Jesus said; "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10: 36-37)
