Heading back from vacation has been a real adventure. We got out of the driveway of the house we rented and the started having vehicle problems. Fifteen miles down the road and I decided it would be better if I chose the spot we stopped for repairs rather than risking being stranded somewhere I don't really want to be.
We found a Ford dealership and dropped the car off. As we hadn't eaten breakfast yet, I inquired at the desk as to where we may get some food. There was nothing within walking distance. Thankfully, God put a man in our path who was getting his truck returned after a failed attempt at repairing it and he offered to give us a ride to a restaurant. Of course, we cheerfully accepted.
He and got into his rental car which he needed to drop off and began talking while waiting for my wife and daughter to join us (women!). I noticed the car seats in and asked him if he had kids. "Yes," he said, "my wife just left us.". Wow! My heart ached for him.
The restaurant was closed, affording us more time to talk. He had a dump trick business which was all but out of business due to the economy. His truck is not working properly and they can't figure out why, and his wife just left him. This man had reason to be depressed, and he certainly had a heavy heart. God was going to great lengths to get his attention.
I thought he would be ready to hear the Gospel. He shut me down as soon as I began to share it with him. Go figure. I was plowing. Its amazing the grief man chooses to endure on earth in an effort to hide from God.
