I had a very special experience today, please bear with me as I share it. I had just dropped my daughter off to gymnastics and I was driving home, when I see this gentleman on the sidewalk, on the ground, next to his wheelchair. I quickly pulled over, ready to help. I asked him if he was ok, he was. His motorized wheel chair had fallen to the side of curb, on the grass. He had fallen off his chair and was trying to push it out of the grass and then he was going to somehow climb back on the chair. After making sure he wasnt bleeding, I got the chair off the grass and on the sidewalk. Then the harder task, lifting up and sitting him on the chair. I was all by myself. I said a quick prayer for both of us, and I place my arms under his and I squatted and lifted him with all my might. An inch a time, we sat him on the chair. I say we because, I am very sure someone elses strength was with me during that time. Once I got him on the chair, and I knelt down to put his feet on the foot rests, I was so humbled by this experienced. Once he was on the chair, another gentleman got to us and he was ready to help us. We decided that it was best to take him home. I called Sam at that point so he could help me. The newcomer was able to help me load the motorized chair in the back of my car and we were able to take our new friend home. Sam met me there and we made sure he got home safely. I am so grateful for the health I have, especially that I have been weightlifting. Sam pointed out to me after that our new friend was probably over 220. I am grateful for this experience I had today, to really help someone in need. Most importantly, I am so grateful that I had help from a higher source when I needed it the most.
