The Coat Hanger
A pastor was at church when she
received a phone call that her
daughter was very sick with a fever.
She left church and stopped by the
pharmacy to get some medication.
She got back to her car and found
that she had locked her keys in the
car. She didn't know what to do, so
she called home and told the baby
sitter what had happened. The baby
sitter told her that the fever was
getting worse. She said, "You might
find a coat hanger and use that to
open the door."
The pastor looked around and
found an old rusty coat hanger that
had been left on the ground,
possibly by someone else who at
some time had locked their keys in
their car. She looked at the hanger
and said, "I don't know how to use
this." She bowed her head and
asked God to send her help. Within
five minutes a beat up old
motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty,
greasy, bearded man who was
wearing an old biker skull rag on
his head.
The pastor thought, "This is
what you sent to help me?" But, she
was desperate, so she was also very
thankful. The man got off of his
cycle and asked if he could help.
She said, "Yes, my daughter is very
sick. I stopped to get her some
medication and I locked my keys in
my car. I must get home to her.
Please, can you use this hanger to
unlock my car?" He said, "Sure."
He walked over to the car, and in
less than a minute the car was open.
She hugged the man and through
her tears she said, "Thank You So
Much! You are a very nice man."
The man replied, "Lady, I am
not a nice man. I just got out of
prison today. I was in prison for car
theft and have only been out for
about an hour." The pastor hugged
the man again and with sobbing
tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank you
God! You even sent me a
Professional!"
