Running out of gas @ Christmas Time

I just returned from my college class and had an extremely difficult day. Starting my day early, I was driving to work, thinking I had enough gas to get to work. About mid-way, my car starting acting up and since it's getting very old, I thought, oh-well, it's just having mechanical issues. Out of gas, naw; however, I didn't have a clue it was that low on gas. Right now, I'm driving my wife's '92 Caddy and it's seen better days. The gas gauge is computerized and definitely not correct. After passing our church on Southwest Parkway, I barely got through the traffic light at Taft. I began to realize I wasn't going to make it work. At that moment, I gazed at the gas gauge and it informed me I had 5 gallons of gas in my tank. Wrong! As a made a U-turn back towards Stripes Convenience Store, I proceeded to get in the far right hand lane. That's when my car died. So, here I am at 8:30 AM, traffic going crazy with everyone going to work and out of gas on a six lane thoroughfare. Wow! I first thought, oh, well, I'll have to push it to Stripes; meanwhile, as I begin to look back, I realized I just might get run over on this very busy parkway. At that point, I just stood by the side hoping everyone would see me. I immediately called my wife and asked if she could come assist me and she so politely said yes. Great! I'll be at Stripes in no time and on my way to work. Checking every moment to ensure I don't get slammed on the parkway, I noticed someone coming up from behind with their hazard lights on. Great! They would drive behind while I pushed my car to the service station. Angels were at my beckoning call. Thank you Lord! Little did I know, this angel approaching me was one of classmates at college. Thank you, Christy for taking some time out of your day to give your friend some help. So, I began to push this 4000 pound car. You can imagine a 160 pound, 5', 11" guy pushing this 4000 pound car. It would have been a perfect time for Exceptional Video productions. Everyone, including myself would have got a big kick out of this. As I slowly pushed the car (30 degree weather by the way), I wasn't making much of a headway; however, I just kept on pushing and hoping someone else would drop by to assist me. Thankfully, I had two other angels stop by and began to push my car. One of my customers and friend; Mr. Ramirez and an unknown jogger who happened to be jogging down Southwest Parkway. Praise the Lord for miracles! I requested either one of them drive my car and I would assist them in pushing; however, they insisted I drive being I had already been out in the cold so long. You just don't realize how cold it is until you are stranded somewhere and not shielded from the cold. I was beginning to feel like the Christmas song which goes, "It's cold outside." To make a long story short, I ended up at Stripes and got my gas and journeyed to work. I would like thank everyone involved in my miss-hap today. Without your friends and people you don't even know, life would be very difficult at times. It's so good you know the Lord and He has His watchful eye on his children.
