series of strange coincidences II

glasses No. dos.............. I was driving down the road. This woman was standing next to her car looking like she wanted to pull her hair out. She was young. I don't usually stop cause I'm scared I'll get raped or murdered, but she looked especially forlorn. Anyways, I ended up stopping to see what was wrong. She had 2 four year old twins in the backseat that spoke perfect English. She spoke perfect French. Now, I've had a few years of French in school, but not really enough to communicate I found out. I understood very few of what she actually said. ANyways, she was out of gas. I figured this out after she called her friend on my phone - yes, her cell phone was dead too :) I finally got the car to start, and then it died again. We pushed it in 90 degree weather to the corner where the car coasted down the hill to the QT gas station. We bullied an old woman and some guy out of their gas spot while we put gas in the car. Needless to say in the process, I lost my glasses. WTF. I knew God wouldn't let me help someone and then take away my glasses. About 30 minutes later, I went back to look. Sure enough, they were on the ground underneath the trees. God is so good to me :)

Emily, some day I'm going to steal your glasses and mail them to you.

Emily, when you're down and think that God has forgotten you, go back and read this one.
