God's lesson this afternoon

I was driving home from work today, when I came upon a freshly done car accident. The police weren't even on the scene yet. It involved two cars, one nice, and the other likely a little dented even before this accident. Two women (I'm going to resist saying anything about that one out of kindness and mostly fear), one older, one probably 19 or 20, and scared out of her mind. Coming upon it this afternoon, I instantly thought of Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes (which I probably just happened to catch a couple minutes of while switching from ESPN to rugby). All right, so I have seen the movie; with my wife. But, I didn't cry; at first. Anyways, I stopped to provide anything I could, which turned out to be nothing more than just a quick prayer for the two of them in my head, but I left knowing that God placed me in that situation for a reason. What was the reason you may ask? If I didn't stop for them, I might not have been able to stop when this kid sped his bicycle into the street without ever taking a look either way. I have no idea if anything would have happened, but I do believe that God chose for me at that moment to stop for those two women.
