Were putting our groceries in the
Trunk of my car.
"Could you take the lid off this
Ointment," she asked.
She had just purchased it.
I twisted the cap with all my might.
It wouldn't budge.
At just that moment a lady walked by and
Saw my scrunched up face.
"Do you need help?" she asked.
I handed her the tiny tube to see
What she could do.
Success!
It opened!
I couldn't believe it.
"God sent you at just the right time," I
Told the woman, and we laughed.
"I'm not even from this area," she answered.
She was from Georgia.
And as we got acquainted I learned that
Her cancer had returned.
The kind stranger and I embraced.
And as we stood in the Walmart parking
Lot and prayed I was convinced that
She was my divine appointment for the
Day and that I was hers.
