Letter to the Observer

A True Story

While working on the bridge on N.C. 87 South today, one of my men came to me and said that he just couldn't go on in life.

"I need someone to care for this big burly man," he said, but no one does."

I prayed with him and told him that God loves him and if he'd just hang on one more day, He would prove it.

I have faith in God, but was still amazed when, five minutes later, a greenish truck pulled up beside the bridge and a young lady stepped out with a box full of cold drinks and a bag full of cinnamon rolls. It said, "Christy" on the front of the truck.

I wondered if she was a wife of one of the men but, to my surprise, when I asked who she was, she said, "I'm just a woman who loves God and does exactly what He tells me to do and He told me that someone here needs a blessing today, so here's some drinks and some snacks. Y'all take a break and remember that God works in mysterious ways and I love you guys!" She leaned over and hugged my buddy, who had needed someone to care for him.

Christy drove away and waved as she passed.
She left two grown men in tears.

God does answer prayers. Thank you, Christy!

Christy Lynch, the good samaritan in this true story, brought a message of love to the workers that day. She has had a life changing experience in her own life. The Lord is using Christy because she is caring, open and obedient to the Spirit, and willing to share the love of Jesus whenever and wherever she has the opportunity.

Christy wrote a poem about her adoption, which is featured in the True Life Experiences Section on this website.
