While our friends were sorting things out, a police officer offered to drop them off at a nearby McDonald's. When they got there, they sat in a booth to await word about getting the van fixed. Because of their dedication to serving others, they didn't have much money. Meanwhile, they had called to let us know about the difficulty, but there wasn't much we could do except pray and trust that God would watch over them. As they and their children sat in the booth, a man came over with bags of burgers and fries. "God told me I should give you some food," he explained as he delivered supper for the hungry family. How many times have we seen God send help on the way? On the flip side, how many times have we felt the urge to help someone-and balked at the notion? We are God's hands on earth-created both to receive help and to give it. Do you know someone who needs help on the way? -Dave Branon
