God's Grace
Let me tell you a short story of what happened to me recently.
I felt a burden in my heart to help a paralized young man get a much needed wheel chair ramp.
I talked with several people about helping me get this man a wheel chair ramp asap.
On tuesday Feb 1, 2022 Starting about 1PM I visited 2 lumber companies. The first one was willing to donate the cost of lumber at cost.
The second lumber company was will to sell lumber at a discount and help in other ways.
Next I ate lunch at a restaurant and asked the owner if he could help me find a carpenter willing to work free. He helped me also.
Then I went home and made some calls to various places I though could help me. I called one place that referred me to Lowes.
Lowes had a list of carpenters who would inspect and give free quotes on their work.
I called lowes near where I live and they gave me 3 telephone numbers to call to talk with contractors.
I called only the first number on the list. I talked with the a contractor, Scott, and explained what I needed and why.
Scott also told me he had been paralized for a year after he was in a car accident. He was fortunate enough to get an operation.
This operation allowed him to walk and function again going back to work. He also mention he was a former navy seal that had been wounded.
Scott ask me the name of the man who needed the wheel chair ramp. I told him his name, Todd, and he said, "I know this guy"
We went to church together and also worked together. Instantly he started to ask several questions about the ramp and the young man he knew.
He indicated that something would be done soon and that he would call me back with the information.
The next day wednesday Feb 2, 2022 I got a call from the Scott and he told me the wheel chair ramp would be built the next monday 02/07/22 or tuesday 02/08/22.
I ask Scott who was going to pay for the wood etc? He said he was.
The wheel chair ramp was built on 02/07/22 and completed on 02/08/22.
This is what the entrance looked like before the ramp was built. 02/06/22
This is what the entrance looked like after the wheel chair ramp for Todd was built on 02/07/22.
Scott Parish. Thankyou Scott for building the wheel
chair ramp for Todd.
THIS IS WHY I KNOW THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS COINCIDENCES. When you think things happen by accident they don't.
You ask how can this be? It is true because GOD is in ultimate control of everything and is able to do things in the background we can't imagine!
This is why it is so important to trust in God.
Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Jesus directed my path to a carpenter who knew the man who needed a wheel chair ramp so bad. I trusted In God and he performed a miracle for me and the young man who needed a wheel chair. Praise the Lord!
I know there must be others like Todd who needs someone to be a messenger and "connect the dots".
Scott only needed to know about his friend Todd's need of a wheel chair ramp. God made it happen.
My plan is hopefully to help others in need of a wheel chair ramp by being a messenger again in the future for God.
You too can be a messenger for God and "connect the dots" for someone who needs a wheel chair ramp quickly and can't wait for all the red tape etc.
There is someone you don't know who is willing to help someone in need of a wheel chair ramp and only needs to get the message of the need.
Pray that God will send you to a person in need of a wheel chair ramp and "connect the dots" for you to make it happen.
Todd was trapped in his trailer without a wheel chair ramp but he is free now. Thank You Jesus!
