As I stepped into the gas station to pay for petrol, a tall lady who was with her young daughter,
asked me if I had the cables required to start a car.
She pointed to her large van that was parked outside at the pump, which she was unable to start.
I told her I didn't have the cables, and proceeded to the counter to pay for the petrol I had just filled.
I was suddenly reminded of how I got stuck just a few weeks ago when the battery on my car died.
It was then that it occurred to me that I must help.
So I asked the cashier if they sold these cables, and she took a set of battery booster cables off the shelf and gave me the price.
Being a small store, the tall lady overheard my conversation with the cashier, and said that she wasn't able to buy the cable at that moment without checking with her husband.
It is at moments like this that I need to decide quickly ...
... there are people waiting behind me in line to pay for gas ...
I'd never used booster cables before, not sure how to use it ...
... and ....
... I had a lot of reasons not to buy it ...
... I had a lot of reasons not to buy it ...
... but I bought the cables.
Learnt how to use the cables, and got the lady's car started in less than five minutes.
She said "Thank you so much for your help! We were on our way to church".
I gave her a few tips on where she could easily replace the battery at that time in the morning.
She said "Thanks, GOD bless you!" and she was on her way.
That's how I ended up buying battery booster cables.
If you need someone to get your car started, call me,
and I'll be there for you!
