Airport Delay

My flight from Hartford to Sarasota is canceled.

I call my wife, Joy, and she says "Look around and see who you can help. Go do the Lord's work."

I spot a man in a wheelchair looking at his ticket. I wheel him to the next gate.

The agent redoes his ticket and turns to me.

"Oh I'm not on his flight," I tell him, “I ‘m going to Florida but my flight to Charlotte was canceled."

"I can get you to Tampa. Will that help?" Tampa is an hour north of Tampa. I arrive home in time for dinner afterall because I helped a fellow traveler.


" Lord when did I see you a stranger and take you in? Surely I say to you when you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it to Me."
(Matthew 25:38-40
