A few years ago, my family and I were making a trek west. The Lord was leading us to a new land and a new life; a life of following Him. We had very little resources and were traveling by foot with three children. It was an amazing experience in our lives, filled with miracles, intense hardships, and the love of God!
While traveling through Ontario, we got to a point where there was only one road, the Trans-Canada Highway, which was really not that suitable to walk along with three small children. We took our concern to the Lord and asked for a ride. The next day was Sunday and we never traveled on the Sabbath, so we found a local church and attended services. In the course of meeting people, we told them our story and asked if they knew anyone that would be traveling north. And much to our joy, we were introduced to a man who was headed north to Thunder Bay with a truck and trailer to pick up his son from University.
As we met and explained our situation, and how we prayed for a ride, his eyes opened wide and his voice grew louder and he said something to the effect of: ‘So you’re the reason that my tire was flat this morning!’
This man loved the Lord and knew that God was still the same, and worked by miracles today, and was thrilled to be of help to us and to his God.
Grant was actually planning on leaving that Sunday morning to drive to Thunder Bay, but woke to find that his tire was flat and that no tire shops were open on Sunday. So he would have to wait until Monday morning to get his tire fixed.
At the tire shop, he found out that his tire had over 30 holes in it! It was apparent that the Lord really wanted to make sure that we got a ride, and Grant was an amazing servant of the Most High. He was so patient and kind to us and our children, he took us to meet his friends and relatives, who treated us like we were long lost relatives; May the blessings of the Father be poured out upon Grant, and his relatives. The Lord truly blessed us with a great answer to our prayer!
