Just had to share

[ali1257]

Just had to share how the Lord was with us today in our travels.

We were eight miles out of a little town called Christmas Valley, OR when we blew an oil hose. Smoke billowed inside and out of the motor home and Ron quickly stopped on the side (as far on the side as he could get). We jumped out hoping the darn thing wasn't on fire. After the smoke cleared Ron looked underneath and there was a puddle of oil dripping out of the motor home. I sat at the kitchen table and just said "Lord, I don't even know how to pray" shortly thereafter a man stopped, looked under the hood, said he knew a good mechanic and got on the phone. He couldn't reach the guy so gave us his number to keep trying (Lesson learned - get the area code when in a different location). About 15 minutes later the man was back to tell us Kenny was on his way (Kenny is the mechanic). Someone else stopped asked what the problem was, told him we were leaking oil bad; he called his wife, she brought us out 10 qts of oil, refused any money for it and left. Kenny showed up about 45 minutes later...crawled under the motor home, saw the hose off and knew exactly what to do...he cut the hose and put it on again (the end had frayed!) Charged us $80 for the call out and repair and we were on our way again. We thanked the Lord for the angels he sent our way and thanked Him for the quick repair. We were back on the road 90 minutes after it all began.

Hope everyone else is having a blessed day. Ali

That was certainly a very fast, inexpensive rescue. You were most fortunate. Never underestimate the kindness of strangers in our lives.

[Getupngo]

Angels amongst us. The kindness of people never ceases to amaze me.

We serve an amazing God!
Glad you are all well and safe.
Thank you for sharing!

For all the nay-saying about the American people, I've found that most folks are helpful and yes, angels walk among us.

God truly does look out for His children. He knows what we need even before we do, and He sends his ministering angels to surround us. Praise Him!

What an uplifting story Ali. So glad everything is fixed and you are on your way. God is Good - ALL the time!!

what a great story, and yes, we do have angels among us.
The lord works in mysterious ways, so the saying goes, and its
true.

Do you have Good Sam Road Service? That (or some sort of road service, doesn't have to be GS) and a cell phone are must-haves for camper traveling when repairs are needed. Glad it wasn't a serious matter and that there was not a fire.
