The working day is over for Andrés and just as he was leaving the company to go home, he was called to the boss's office. His heart began to beat much faster and he was gasping for air, as if he sensed what they were about to tell him.

He walks into the office and finds the CEO of the company with his boss. "Done, they dumped me" was the first thing our friend thought. Indeed, they called him to inform them that, after much thought, the company decided to dispense with their services after more than 10 years.

He came out of that meeting very affected. Only in his head was there room to think about what to do to support the family, in the future plans that had just been destroyed and even in the newly contracted debts which he had no way to face. The whole scene looked bleak; I just thought and thought as I drove home.

On the highway just before the junction he was supposed to take to go home, he sees in the distance a car stopped on the shoulder with a blown tire. Next to the car you can see a slightly older man looking at the wrecked tire while scratching the back of his neck. Despite how bad he was, Andrés decides to stop to help the man.

He gets out of the car and immediately notices that it is a very luxurious car, a BMW M3. "Friend, what's wrong?" "My tire blew out and I have no idea where the spare tire is or how to change it," said the man. "Well, the spare tire is always at the back, in the trunk, if you open it for me, I'll take it out and change it," Andres told him. The pleased man opens the trunk for our friend to take out the tire and tools and get to work to change the tire.

After finishing changing the tire, the very grateful man asks him how much he owes him. "He owes me nothing. I like to help and I saw him here in this dark place, alone and dangerous, and I decided to stop." "But you must want something friend, ask me anything to see if I can help you," said the man.

"I just lost my job, I am super in debt and I also have to get home to give the terrible news to my wife who is waiting for me to have dinner at a dinner that we have been preparing for 2 weeks, the only thing I could ask for is to have it again. a job". The man, moved, listens to him attentively and says: "Son, take my card and show up at this address on Monday. Don't say anything to your wife so as not to worry her. You already have a job in my company."

Moral: Help your neighbor without expecting anything in return and you will see God act through his instruments.
