Right place, right time. God always has things planned and for our good. Recently, my husband and I and a fellow neighbor came across another neighbor, that was in need of immediate help. He was an older gentleman that had fallen and taken a big hit to his head and an injury to his leg while being outside in the cold. When we found him, he was badly injured, not very responsive, and was in the cold, and not dressed for it. That night we found him it was during a time where that road isn’t super busy, and the position that he was in it was a little hard to see him. We’re not sure how long he had been laying in the cold injured, but something told me God had everything planned to help him. It was evening and fairly dark out, my family and I had been coming home from a play. As we were driving by, we just happen to see him laying to the side of the road. He had been slightly blocked by his car that was parked in front of him. I yelled for my husband to stop our vehicle and started yelling to call 911. There was a gentleman driving in front of us, that normally doesn’t take that way home and he quickly turned his car around to help too. I sent my kids home, while my neighbor and husband and I tended to the man until help arrived. I felt like we were all at the right place, at the right time, so we could help this older gentleman. Before the ambulance took him away, they told us he was beginning to become more conscious and responsive. They seemed optimistic that he would recover. Although I do not have a current update, I truly believe that God continues to care for him. Friend, I believe in divine intervention. God had it all worked out. If we were any earlier or any later, we could’ve missed seeing him there or he would’ve been out in the cold too long. If our neighbor that also helped would have taken his usual way home, he wouldn’t have been able to help too. God is so good and He truly does look out for us. Sometimes he performs his miracles, sometimes He sends angels and sometimes, He uses us to help one another. Right time, right place, all in His plan, for our good.
