God’s Grace in Adversity

[Jitendra Hydonus]

I was traveling the last few days to help some people and the bearings on one of the wheels of the trailer for the car i was driving gave out and I had to turn around and return home at a very slow speed in hopes that the wheel would not fall off. (See trailer below)Instead of listening to music as is often my habit driving long distances, I practiced the presence the whole time. As fate would have it the wheel went spinning off and the trailer fell to the pavement near the side of the road. I attempted to lift it and pull it into a turn around that was just at that point, but was unsuccessful in doing so, since one wheel 🛞 was missing on the trailer.

Cars passed and did not stop. Suddenly a truck stopped and two middle age guys jumped out and helped lift the back end of the trailer while I pulled it into a turn around on the side of the road. The guys told me they would help me fix it in the next two days. I looked at the turn around signs and noticed it was not for that purpose alone but was an entrance to the Manistee National Forest. Being mindful of the fact that a providential event had just occurred, i noticed on the long travel in the car back to home there were no other visable turn arounds in that area. I marveled at the fact the wheel would have come off precisely at an entrance to the Manistee National Forest and thanked the Gurus for the help — to be continued.

Many times in life grace has helped my short comings. This morning I put an expensive guitar on the other side of my trailer because I was cleaning out the inside. I drove off and forgot to put the guitar back in the trailer. After stopping in a nearby service station a man came up to me from a car with the guitar and said that it ‘fell out of my trailer.’ Grace can often service our short comings. Always pray for Gods grace!
