Wow, this morning I was on my way to work when I realized that my buss pass had expired! So I had to walk from the transportation center to work. Along the way I saw someone pushing his car to get to the gas station so I decided to help.

As I was pushing I saw some books in his back window written by the pastor who founded the church I work at. Once we got into the gas station I asked, “Are you a fan of this author?”

“Oh I’m training to become a councelor today, I was on my way but I ran out of gas,” he told me, “but I didn’t expect to run out of gas. You wouldn’t happen to have any spare change would you?”

I was shocked, he was on his way to my work. So I responded, “Sure I can help. Can you give me a ride to work if I spot you some gas ?” Turns out he had fallen on some hard times and was doing day labor, but also keeping a commitment to become a volunteer for the Crystal Cathedral where I work. I encouraged him and told him God is looking out for him. I felt like an angel sent on a mission.

Even expired buss passes can serve a higher purpose.
