Thank you for helping women

I forgot to write about another car event that I had about a week ago so here it is

OK, Mom and Dad went out of town so grocery shopping was my job. I had also had a meeting after work to go to that had taken longer then I had hoped. Then I forgot my list at work. Of course I didn’t figure that out till I got to the first store on the list. I had to go all the way back to work pick up the list and restart my shopping experience. I could tell that it was turning out to be a not so very great ending to a great day. It took an even longer time to shop then it normally takes me. Thank God my cousin was helping me and did part of the shopping for me. I had finely gotten done only to not be able to find my keys. Now if you know me at all you will know now that this is not something new. I lose my keys regularly, most of the time they are still in the car after I lock and close my car up. So I called my cousin and ask her to meet me at the front of the store (which by the way was right next to the one I was shopping in) and let me use her keys to get in my car. Just a reminder, I had just finished shopping for my family of 9, my shopping cart was full and I had no were to put the groceries because I couldn’t get in my car. So I pushed the still very full cart to the front of the other store and took one last look in my purse and what did I find in my lovely purse, my KEYS!!!!! So I called my cousin and told her thanks but there is no need for her keys and I would see her at home.  On the way home the FUN really began for me. I was one exit away from being home an hour after I wanted to be there when I got a flat tire. I was not a happy lady at the moment. I wanted to be home. I wanted to eat. And AAA said that I was on top priority and would be out within an hour to help. What a comfort! I would hate to see how long it would take if you weren’t on top priority!!!! So there I sat hoping to not get hit by someone as they whizzed by me. I then had to take all the groceries out of the trunk and put them in the back seat of my car so the spare could be gotten out when it was time to change the flat. You might be asking “Why didn’t you just change it yourself?” Good question and I will answer it for you. I have never had a flat before when I was by myself and I have only watched a tire be changed a few times in my life I was not going to get out by the side of a dark road and attempt to do something I had never done before when it was light and my parents pay for AAA for me so I won’t have to do things like that. Yes, if I needed to I could change a tire. But as you can see I didn’t need to because this man stopped and helped me change my tire. It was a bit scary at first to have a man who is a complete stranger come up and help me. I just prayed and asked God for protection and got out to help him as best I could. By the way I am very good at holding a flash light for someone. I invited him to church and hope that some day he will come. That night I was so glad to be able to get off the side of the road and get home. I will say for my family’s defense that my cousin and brother pulled up as we finished putting the tire on the car. My brother had some to rescue me by changing my tire for me.

I said all that to say this thank you to all the men that stop and help us women that need all the help we can get!
