So I woke up early today and got ready quick, hoping to make it out the door before my usual time...

Re: Blew out my TIRE this morning!!!

So I am rummaging through the back of my wagon, trying to move the bags of clothes I been meaning to take to Goodwill for 2 weeks now [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70388-shameonyou.gif[/img] trying to get the spare out from under the floor board... Feeling a little nervous as cars pass by on their way to work...


I finally get the tire out, and turn around...


Standing there behind me is this little old man [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]



He must have been in his 70's. Hair white as snow, shorter than me, and TINY!
His waist mussi smaller than 1 of my thighs [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
He was dressed in slacks and a nice dress shirt, he was rolling up his sleeves and smiling [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Blew out my TIRE this morning!!!

That little old man changed my tire like it was nothing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blushing2.gif[/img]


Dressed all in his splendor with a smile on his face he loosened the lug nuts, got on the ground and placed the jack where it needed to be, popped off that tire, and put on a new one in less than 15 minutes [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]


When he was done I asked him his name, and he said John [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]


"Thank you John, God bless you, thank you so much" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img]



I could tell that helping me, made his day [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]


And as I got in my car to continue down the road, John came back, and he handed me a little pocket size book of Psalms [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/inlove1.gif[/img]


He said "you can have this too, it was my pleasure to help" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]












Never thought a flat tire could make me smile so much [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
