The other day Lance and I were on our way to speak at a function. We had to stop by a gas station to fill up and while Lance was doing just that, I went across the street to buy sandwiches for the long drive we had ahead.
I came out of the sandwich shop, crossed into the gas station to find my husband washing a windshield of another car. I shrugged my shoulders and quickly forgot about it as we started our drive.
Lance and I began to talk and a hour went by before he went quiet and then told me (reminded me) about the gas station, here is what he said...
"When you went to get sandwiches and I was filling up gas, the strangest thing happened. A middle aged man pulled up, rolled down his window and said, "Hey, Buddy can you wash my windshield?" Lance said "I thought it was strange, but said "sure."
Lance went quiet then.
I said "are you kidding me? ""A guy our age just pulls up and says "Hey buddy wash my windshield"????"
He let me "vent" and he calmly said, I didn't finish telling you wgat happened.
I washed his drivers side windshield and then went to the other side and the guy said "no no thank you, I can see fine now, thanks buddy"
He drove off. That is when Lance saw that he had a handicapped licence plate.
I feel ashamed even thinking about my first response, what should it matter if someone needs help if they are handicapped or not.
I learned another great lesson from my husband,
"When someone ask's for help, maybe they need it."
Thank you Jesus Christ for your help in every hour of my life.
