Rest Stop Prayer

July 13

We stop in a Maryland rest area along I-95.Back in the car I turn the key. The car is dead. I call our motoring plan. The agent says he will have to send two tow trucks, one for our car and one for the trailer. It is going to be a long night.
Something says to try Joy’s spare key. “Lord we need help here.” I turn the key. Ignition. I thank God, cancel the tow and drive off. How did this happen? I should call the brothers of Car Talk on public radio about this.

“We give thanks to You, 0 God we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” (Psalm 75:1)
