God is Good

God is good, not just to me but to all of us. Interesting story for you. Last night, I was at a stoplight waiting. Then all of a sudden , boom, I get rear-ended by some kid in a hoopti. I pull over and notice that he isn't joining me. I get out of my car and yell at him to pull over, while mentally remebering his license plate number in case he tries to pull a fast one on me. He pulls over and gets out of his car apologizing. I ask him what he was thinking, as I was at the light for awhile and he obviously carelessly just hit me. He claims all fault and says that he dropped something in the car and reached down to get it and didn't brake in time.
I then go to see the damage on my car, cringing at the whole situation. But surprisingly... there was very very minimal damage. At the most small indentations from the screws of his license plate, and a few scratches. I was shocked... I already had a few scratches prior to the incident so it wasn't that much of a difference. I look up to the kid who looks like he's about to cry. He continuously apologizes to me saying that his insurance premiums are up to the roof, doesn't have much money and is very sorry. I decide to lecture him for a bit, and tell him its his lucky day. I let him go. Told him to drive more carefully being that he is in no condition to drive recklessly. Also told him that although it would probably cost me $300 to take those small scratches out, I'm going to let him go. God is good... and hopefully he is counting his blessings while he learns a lesson.
