It Is Better to Be Late
Than to Pass One by Who Needs You
Charles Harvey, Good Samaritan of Grand Prairie, Texas, felt a bit nervous as he was driving to an important job interview. He was fifteen minutes late and in a hurry when he passed a middle-aged woman stranded with a flat tire. "My conscience made me stop," he said. "I changed her tire and headed to the interview, thinking I could just forget about getting the job now."
He finally arrived, and filled out the job application anyway, and went to the Personnel Director’s office. Did he get the job? He sure did. The Personnel Director hired him on the spot. She was the woman whose tire he had just changed!
When I read that story in the paper I thought about the verse that says, "some have entertained angels unawares." (Heb. 13:2)
