The God of Perfect Timing



In my hitchhiking travels, I think it is amazing how I seem to show up at the right place at the right time.  Around the end of September, I hitchhiked into the Kooskia, Idaho neighborhood from Montana and stayed at my friends' place for a couple of nights.  Kim had mentioned to his wife a day or two before that he wished Tim would show up so that he could help him put some rafters up for his new wood shop he was building.  I helped put rafters on his roof for a day or two and then I hit the road.

A few days later, I showed up at my friends' place in northern California.  A few days after I arrived, I helped them vaccinate 95 calves in Nevada.  It was perfect timing; they appreciated one extra guy running the calves through the corral and down the chute.  Back in 2010, I arrived a day before we had to brand over a hundred calves near Fall River Mills, California.

Just yesterday, I hitchhiked from southern Oregon to northern California.  Later that day, I helped vaccinate 120 calves.  Today I helped preg test and vaccinate 150 cows.  God's timing is always perfect.

Those who are led by the Spirit shall be called sons.

  1. Amen, Tim. Praise God. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you. Amen!

  2. The Lord has a sense of humor. One time I was hitchhiking on I-90 in Montana. This young lady picked me up and she was going west to Bozeman. Her car ran out of gas a mile from Bozeman, so I carried her suitcase for her to the bus station. She phoned a friend who later picked her up. I told her that she picked me up so that I could carry her suitcase to Bozeman. She started laughing.

  4. It is great to be a part of His tapestry!
    I look forward to all the 'behind the scenes' stories (like yours,) that I'll hear, once I'm up in heaven with Him and all His children...
