for the first time in many many years, i picked up a hitch-hiker the other day. it felt like God put him in my path, since i was just trying to stop for a power-nap on this on-ramp going toward lagrange, ga, on 85S. there he was, so i thought “i’ll just pick him up, then i’m sure i won’t fall asleep”.
so, i drove him the 25 miles, then an extra 13 miles to get him into alabama, since he said the georgia police gave him a hard time.
his name is vito, and he’s a painter by trade. he’d been working on the coast of n.c., but, ran out of work. he was going to biloxi, ms, where there should be plenty of work.
the cool thing was when he said he’d prayed that morning, and realized that God takes care of the sparrows, so he knew He’d take care of him, too.
a simple truth i was glad to be reminded of.
