One morning a mother was out doing errands. After two hours she went back to her car. Searching for the car keys, she discovered they were inside the locked car. She went to the nearest store to ask for a wire hanger to unlock her car—to no avail. She dropped to the ground in tears and prayed.
“Please, God, I need your help. I have a son at home, clothes to wash, and lunch to make. Please send me help.”
Through her tears, she noticed a young man standing in front of her. He bent down, picked up the hanger, and within six seconds opened the door.
“Thank you very much, sir,” said the grateful mom. “Are you a Christian?”
“No,” he said. “I just got out of prison.”
Sitting in the front seat of her car, she looked up to the sky and said, “Thank you, Lord, for sending me a professional.”

One of those rare instances where breaking into someone else’s car becomes an act of Christian charity.
I liked the word “professional” that was used in her short prayer to God. I would bet that God liked it too–no prejudice here!
