Flat Tire Prayer

Three of my stories are included in the new book, “God Moments II: Recognizing the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.” Today, I’d like to share “Flat Tire Prayer.”

Many years ago, when my husband, James, and I were newlyweds, we were traveling through New York State along Highway 81 returning to Canada from visiting relatives in my home state of New Jersey. All of a sudden, one of our tires blew. As James was trying to maneuver the car over to the side of the road, we both said a prayer. At the time, we were very young and had no idea how to change a tire. So we said something like, “Please God, send someone to help us.” We pulled to the side of the road and immediately, a car drove up behind us. A man jumped out and handed James a can of something which inflated flat tires and plugged the hole. He then drove away. We were astonished that our prayer had been answered so quickly. My husband then filled and inflated the flat tire and we finished the rest of the trip without incident.
