Smells like a miracle

© 2017 Christy K Robinson

What a remarkable day! I have to tell you what a blessing just occurred. On Wednesday afternoon, I was going to my dental appointment and noticed my right-front tire was half flat. I drove a bit over a mile to Discount Tire so they could fill it. (I bought two new tires last August when the sidewalls cracked from the hot, arid climate, but still had two bald ones.) 


In the evening after my choir rehearsal job, I went out to check my front tire before driving home. The tire was still fine, and well inflated, though as bald as ever! Life Church's choir members (and twin sisters) Jan DeJarnetta and Jeannie Redon offered to follow me home to make sure I got here safely. I gave them a jar of jam I had in the car’s trunk. That was a guardian angel thing, but then they went above and beyond! 


The next day they went into a Discount Tire and paid for two new tires for my car (the same brand as I'd bought previously), and today I had them installed. The store manager who called to tell me what happened was very impressed with their kindness, and he gave them a price break in honor of their loving act. And now I get to repeat the story. WOW!! What a blessing they were, and they only met me three weeks ago. 

As I unloaded the groceries from the car in my garage, I wondered for a second what smelled so strongly of rubber. Oh, yeah. Now I remember. Smells like "miracle."
