Lydia is being raised by a single mom. She is in the first grade. Her mom Linda has raised Lydia not to celebrate Halloween. She does not participate in any Halloween activities at her public school. On the day of Halloween her mom has a job interview. She tells Lydia to say a prayer for her in light of needing extra money for a car. She uses her bicycle as transportation for work. She works at a local shelter close to home. Lydia’s school is also in close proximity of their house. Lydia is a very understanding child. Some say she has been here before.
Linda: (Walking Lydia to school)
I love you Lydia! Have an awesome day!
Lydia: (Smiling)
I love you too mama! I will be thanking God for your new job!
Linda catches a train and then a bus to get to her job interview. Her bike is allowed on public transportation. She needs her bike to ride the rest of the way in light of her bus route not taking her all the way to her interview. A lady decides to take a different route to work that day. She sees Linda riding her bike.
Victoria: (Driving by Linda rolling down her window)
Hello ma’am, it’s raining and cold. Do you need a ride somewhere? Where are you trying to go?
Linda: (Exhaustively)
Hello, yes ma'am I do! I have a job interview at a warehouse a few blocks away in 20 minutes. My name is Linda. I really need this job.
Victoria:
Well, if you are not going to harm me, I will give you a ride there. You must have been praying. The warehouse I believe you are talking about is miles away. You wouldn’t have made it there on time. My name is Victoria.
Linda:
Yes, I was praying. I pray every day with my daughter. Thank you so much! No, I will not harm you I promise.
Victoria:(Dropping her off)
Okay, good luck. I hope you get the job Linda. I will be praying for you. Here is my card. If you can’t get back home, please call me. I will give you a ride home.
Linda: (Happily)
Thanks so much Victoria! You are an angel. God bless you!
Linda goes to her interview and she gets hired. She calls Victoria when her interview is over to share the good news. Victoria congratulates Linda. She tells her she will send an Uber to take her home. Linda goes straight to her daughter school with the good news.
Linda: (Excitedly)
Guess what Lydia! I got the job! They hired me on the spot, right after my interview. I had an angel by the name of Victoria give me a ride there and she gave me a ride back home.
Lydia:
Hey mom, you're here early. You mean a complete stranger gave you a ride to your interview and back home? God is the best God ever! I am so happy for us! I am not that surprised. I was praying all day! I knew those two twins was going to come by and help you out. They are so sweet to us. You know they love taking their time with the "MOST HIGH" children. Thank you Lord! Mama, if we did celebrate Halloween today, I would be Victoria. She is my new hero!
Linda:
Yes, praise the Lord baby! Grace and mercy was with me today. Or the twins as you call them.
Miracles mixed with angels, love, mercy, and grace was all up in Linda's face! :0)
