Thankful Thursday: My Snow Tractor Angel

I am thankful for the man who plowed my driveway.

We got a lot of snow at the beginning of the week. The worst part is that the city snowplows fill up the end of the driveways with snow, instead of lifting their plows as they go past a driveway. It was so bad around the mailbox, that the mail lady stopped delivering the mail. So, today, I reluctantly went out there with my shovel.

After shoveling for 1/2 hour, I realized that I had another 4 hours or so to go. But soon a tractor came hauling down the road. He was on his way to plow somewhere else. He must have had pity on me though, because he offered to plow the driveway. I asked him how much he would charge. He said that he didn't want anything and started plowing. I had my daughter go get my purse anyhow.

When he was done plowing, he waved good-bye. But I ran after wanting to pay him. He had just saved me 4 hours of shoveling. He shook his head no and just kept driving down the road. Well, I was very thankful. At dinner, I thanked God for sending us the Snow Tractor Angel to clear the driveway. The kids thought that was funny, because he was obviously not an angel. But they got the idea that I was really appreciative. They know how much I dislike the snow.
