Does Chivalry Still Live?

Yes, it does. I saw it in my son last Friday.

I never regret spending quality time alone with each one of my children. Each time I do I find awesome God instilled qualities in each one of them. Michael was in GA. for an important interview last Friday. He has recently completed a mechanical engineer degree, and desires to put it to use here in GA. How we'd love to have both Mike and Neva back.

Latter that day Mike asked me to ride along while he tied up some loose ends, so we spent time talking. We stopped at a gas station for some gas. He noticed a lady who couldn't start her car. An older gentleman was trying to jump start her, but simply couldn't get her started.

Slowly, Michael approached the two. "How's it going?'

"Not very well, I've been working on this for over 20 minutes now. I can't get it going. I don't know what else to do."

Mike smiled and nodded. "Mam, do you mind if I take a look at it?"

"Please do."

The older man took off and Mike stood there looking the car over. He looked up, "Mam, you have a extra amp wire here that was improperly installed. It probably drained your battery completely dead. Could I unhook it, clean your cables off and then try to give you a jump?"

"Yes, please do."

Within 5 short minutes Michael had her car running again. "Mam, you need a new battery. After you get a new battery you should have that amp wire installed correctly."

"How much do I owe you?"

"Nothing, just get yourself a new battery. :) "

For a brief moment, I saw that white knight he use to finger paint on a white horse which often decorated my refrigerator door when he was little. But in place of the finger paint, there he was..my beloved son in whom I am so well pleased with. Who would have know how God would have stamped so much love, grace and wisdom on my beautiful son. But that's my Awesome God, stamping His ways through living, loving and growing through the years!

"A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding draws it out.

Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trust worthy man?

A righteous man who walks in integrity-How blessed are his sons after him.

Proverbs 20:5-7 (NASB)
