I was on the way home from work Wed. and thought I would stop at Discount Tire to see if I could pick up some used segmented lead weights. I've done this a few times over the years. I use them to help many of the kids in our Awana club. I went directly to the guys changing the tires told them what I was looking for. I explained that it was for pine wood derby(Grand Prix) cars.They pointed me to a couple of boxes where they toss the used lead. I shifted thru the pieces picking out just the segmented weights. I ended up with a good handful and thanked them for their generosity. Here is the amazing part! As I was walking to my car, one of the guys called me back and asked how I was going to attach the weights to the cars. I told him I would clean them up and glue them to the cars. He told me to give him all the weights back and to follow him. He threw all the weights back into the box and grabbed a big handful (11 strips)of brand new segmented weights with adhesive strips and handed them to me. I was overwhelmed to say the least!!! I could not believe what had just happened. I told him that this was not necessary. He insisted I take them. I expressed my deepest thanks and headed home rejoicing in what God had just done. My pastor often talks about looking for "I spys" that God does during the day. This was definitely one for me! There will be a lot of boys and girls affected by the kindness of this one man. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!
