Sounds of Heaven Memoirs: Thank You Jesus For All My Blessings. Even The 1 Tucked Into My Extended Stay In Dalton, GA. When My Car Was Towed To A Local Dealership To Be Worked On 7/6/2020

I have been traveling through Dalton, GA for a few years now. To be precise I get off at the Walnut Ave. exit on the highway. I love to buy gasoline there for it is always at a good price point. I shop at a few stores located at that exit. I left in the car to head home yesterday 7/6/2020 a little before 7AM and believe it or not I arrived at home a little before 7PM. It was a bit of a long but productive day. I was not even tired when I arrived back home. I actually unpacked; did 2 loads of laundry; and put everything away too. I even found time to soak in the tub after watching a little western movie on the GRIT tv channel. My patio plants looked a little withered. Nothing a good watering with Miracle Gro could revive them, and it did. I had a splendid time spent with family. I truly did, slight vertigo interruption and all.

I left early in the morning and I needed to stop at Ingles along the way. They carry items I cannot find where I live so I try to stop there and pick up the items. I was back on the road and I stopped in Dalton, GA. I HEARD Holy Spirit tell me to stop at the McDonald's and get a cup of decaf coffee. I already purchased at the grocery store creamer for the coffee. I pulled into a parking spot to pour the creamer into the cup of coffee and … I could not get the key out of the ignition and I could not reverse the car or put it in park. So, I called my sister and brother-in-law to see if they had any insight as I explained what happened. I thought maybe I pulled in too far into the spot and maybe the car got jammed somehow. There was a man sitting in his car a few spots down and I got this idea to see if he could try to push my car to make sure it was not lodged in somehow. He assured me my car was not stuck but he did push it and it rolled back easy. The only problem was it was locked into the neutral position and it rolled right back in place. I contacted the warranty people about a tow because I already knew there was a dealership at this exit because I drove past it many times before. Searched and it was a dealership for my type of car. Next, the warranty people were to call a towing company but the one they selected said they could not be there for 2 hours. The dealership gave me a phone number of a local towing co. and I called them. They could be there in 20 minutes. The owner even tried to adjust the cable to see if it would unlock the gear shift but could not get to it. In the meantime I remembered there was a recall for a problem with my make of car. It had to do something with the gear shifter. I found the recall notice in my car and I read it. It sure did sound a lot like what the problem was I was experiencing. I was so thankful to the tow truck company I had the opportunity to bless him and his assistant with each a $2.00 bill. I noticed a wooden cross in the tow truck and asked if he got it at the gift shop in Dalton. He replied that a customer was cleaning out his car and asked him if he wanted it and he said he had it ever since then.

The service department at the dealership verified the problem was the recall notice. It would have cost nothing for this repair. I got this light bulb idea and asked if there was time to do a full synthetic oil change while the car was there? I was going to get an oil change when I got back home. It was at a better price point then what I pay locally for the same service. I knew my service work was going to be paid for so I still wanted to bless this dealership for not only looking at my vehicle but also taking care of it at the same time. Thank God for the crisp looking $2.00 bills I had with me. I told the service rep. that it is not a big amount of money but they are hard to find nowadays and to be blessed with a $2.00 bill.

Let's back this up a bit ok. The man that tried to push my car for me. I went into McDonald's to let them know a towing company was coming to tow the car from the parking lot. I was pleasantly surprised that the young man that helped me worked there. I thanked him and asked to see a manager. I sung praises to this manager that the employee helped me out on his break/lunch hour and that is a really good employee. Please notate this on his review. I remember telling the manager that that service in this times in which we live in is truly appreciated.

Are you following this testimony? I was shown today that I have faithfully blessed businesses located at this exit on the highway for 6+ years now. In my time of need I was then blessed back at that very exit location. Keep planting seeds as Holy Spirit shows you and hear His voice when He gives you instruction ok. I could have been anywhere when this occurred but Holy Spirit landed me in a safe place and it was all about location. Praise God.

The family went to breakfast Sunday. My mom wanted to treat us all. My sister came up with a great idea. She said that she and my brother-in-law were going to use some of our fathers "unclaimed funds money" we found recently was going to treat us all. I knew to grab onto that blessing so I also gave her money from me too. That then made it a true dad paying for breakfast blessing. We talked briefly about it and thanked him for this breakfast (he died just shy of 22 years ago.) We only requested the unclaimed funds of his a few months ago. I will include a picture of us at the restaurant. Can you believe my mom will be 91 years old in a few short weeks? She does not look her age at all. I am also including a picture of cute Zoey. She thought she was going with me in the car when I was leaving, too funny.

Heading home I found time to stop at TJ Maxx in Dalton and bought a Korres Yoghurt Almond body wash and a Korres body butter in peach scent. I also felt led to stop at a chocolate store to get a few chocolate treats for my co-workers. Listen to Holy Spirit He always gives you and shows you opportunities to bless others.
