> >Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die - I
>barely managed

> >cursing, into a gas station, glad only that I would not be

> >would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It
>wouldn't even

>out of the
> >"quickie

>fell into a
> >Gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay

> > When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by
>sobs than
> >that
> >she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard
>with dark

> >give it to her. It was a nickel.

> > At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying
>woman, the

> >Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a
>car seat),
> >and the
> >gas pump reading $4.95.

> > I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she
>just kept

> >don't want my kids to see me crying," so we stood on the other
>side of
> >the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and
>that
> >things were

praying?"
>That

> &g t; I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader
>on the pump so
> >she could
> >fill up her car completely, and while it was fuelling, walked to
>the next
> >door McDonald's
> >and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more,
>and a big
> >cup of
> >coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the
> > car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump
>eating fries
> >and talking
> >a little.
> >
> > She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her

>to live

> > I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer
>with her for

> >angels
> >are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people."

> > It was so incredible to be a part of someone else's miracle.
>And of
