A Christmas Miracle to Encourage You

Today Larry was running errands. He stopped at Gander Mountain to have the scope on his cross-bow sighted in. As he was leaving the store, a young lady approached him and asked if he would help her to raise the hood of her car as her car would not start. Of course Larry couldn't just raise the hood of the car and not help with whatever might be the problem under the hood. It seems that her battery was not fully engaged with the cables, and with a little jingle, jangle Larry has the battery connected and the car running like new.

During the course of his conversation with the young lady, he asked her if she was from Columbus. She said that she was, but that her parents had just moved to Kentucky last week, and this was the first time she'd had to handle car problems on her own (save your commentary about safety issues, this is a story about miracles you know). Larry asked her where her parents had moved to in Kentucky. She said she would tell him the town, but that he probably had never heard of it. Grayson, she said, Grayson, Kentucky. Larry told her that indeed he did know this small town and promptly asked her is her parents had moved there to teach at the college located there. To her surprise she said yes, they had taken jobs at Kentucky Christian University and would begin teaching there the first week of January. Larry said that he knew the college well, since it was the college that our daughter had graduated from!

Here's the miracle part: When her car broke down, the young lady had prayed for someone to help her, hoping they somehow might have a connection to her or her family! Call it a coincidence, call it six-degrees removed, call it whatever you like, but I prefer to call it a Christmas Miracle!
