God's Protection

As I took a walk to the post office, I listened to my music on my i-phone. It really came in handy when a little dog was upset that I was in his neighborhood. I simply played my "hallelujah chorus" while passing him. I carry it in a traveling pouch that hangs on my neck and use earphones.
I prefer to walk with friends down residential streets, but when walking alone, I often choose the busier streets and enjoy music. Today I was really glad I did.
Toward the end of my walk, I noticed a young man heading my way. He was not dressed for a walk and I noticed something swinging on his pants - either a small chain or rope.
As he neared me, he lifted the neck of his shirt to cover his nose and mouth and mumbled something. I took off my ear phones and said, "Pardon me?" He replied with "Do you know if there is a car dealership near here?"
Now, at times, when a stranger is lost, I have used my "around me" application on my i-phone to give them directions. But, that thought never entered my mind.
I simply said "Keep walking and you will see a Tuffy at the stop light. They work on cars and may be able to help you."
He mumbled something I could not understand and I quickly resumed my walk - even quicker - and made sure I kept seeing cars approaching on the street I was near.
God is so good.
Sometimes He protects us by not letting us get too helpful with strangers - especially if they have a need to hide their face when they speak to us.
Thank you Lord, for your constant protection.
Have a blessed day.
