What a great service

Sam posts about Grace Car Care, a service offered by his church to people in need. When I am at the Samaritan Center every week I see the dire need for people to keep their cars just plain running, let alone to have a car at all. Sometimes there are six (or more!) people from two or three households crammed into a run-down car to share a ride to and from the center, and I worry whether they'll even make it out of the parking lot.

I wish I had more mechanical skills, but I do not. At all. This seems like such a good idea, and could be put in place anywhere.

Thanks for the info, Sam!

Jim,
Just one driver showing another where to get gas.
I thank God for using John and others at Grace to love me when I needed them. They are really humble, loving people who want to help others. I view you the same way.

Sam,

Thanks for the compliment. I don't think I deserve it, though.

Yeah! That sounds like a great idea... I'd totally forgotten about that idea; our Ohio church I think twice a year or maybe just once a year would organize a one-day free oil change day. I was definitely not any sort of organizer just one of the many who helped clean windows or air filters... but it was an awesome service.

This Grace Car Care? Wow - so much more!!! Awesome ministry....

Chris,

Yeah, I obviously thought so, too.

Hmmm...free oil change day sounds like a good idea, though.
