Flight Delay

January 2

My flight from Hartford to Sarasota is canceled.
I call Joy and she says, "Look around and see who you can help. Go do the Lord's work."

As I hang up the phone 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." click, click, click.

"I can get you to Tampa. Will that help?"
Tampa is only an hour away. I arrive home in time for dinner afterall.

" 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
