I was returning home on a Thursday afternoon and I ran over a piece of metal pipe on the road. I tried to avoid it but traffic was heavy and I could not change lanes. The metal pipe made a horrible sound as it hit the undercarriage. Thoughts raced through my mind of possible damage to my vehicle: punctured oil pan, transmission, tires, etc. As I continued to drive the only thing I noticed was a loud muffler sound.
The mechanic confirmed that there was a hole in the muffler. It was Friday and the only muffler shop that could check my car was closing in two hours. I drove the twenty miles hoping my car would not need a new muffler. The mechanic checked the car and gave me good news. The muffler needed a patch welded and it would take fifteen minutes to fix. He charged me a small fee and I gave him a tip and two GOD STORIES booklets for fixing my car. I drove home praising the Lord for protecting me and my vehicle and for the opportunity to share God's Word.
