GOD PUT YOU IN MY WAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUGUST 7th, 2012,

 

 

GOD PUT YOU IN MY WAY

 

 

The other day

I heard a story

 

A Catholic priest

Was telling the story of two travelers

One an African-the other an Egyptian

They did not know each other

 

The Egyptian encountered some problems

While traveling

And the African

Went out of his way to help

 

The Egyptian asked:  “Why id you help me?  You don’t even know me.”

The African responded:  “I had to help.  God put you in my way.”

 

When the Egyptian returned home-he found out

His former fiance’ had encountered some problems

The Egyptian went out of his way

To try and help her

 

His ex-fiance asked:  “Why did you help me?  You don’t even like me.”

He responded:  “I had to help.  God put you in my way.”

 

It made me think

About who has helped me in my life

Without any thought of ever getting repaid

 

I wonder if they thought:

 

“I had to help

God put you in my way”

 

WHO HAS GOD PUT IN YOUR WAY
