I’D LIKE to express my appreciation to Bert Brooks. I was on the way to the YMCA when I stopped at Bert Brook’s Tire Store to inquire about a tire for my van — he had one. As Mr. Brooks looked at my van he told me that the lug nuts were put on backwards and the spare could have come loose any time.

I don’t want to think about what could have happened. All I could say is “God must have sent all his guardian angels down to earth to keep us safe.” When I told Mr. Brooks how long I drove with the tire like that he just said “Give me your name and phone number and come back.”

To keep a long story short Mr. Brooks put the new tire on and told me I was ready to go. I told him I’d come the following week to pay for the tire.

Mr. Brooks response was “No need, an anonymous donor who doesn’t want to be named has paid for the tire!” All I could say is, “Thank you! What a blessing!” The most important thing for me was that my son (Benjamin) experienced God’s greatness first hand — as a teenager he is questioning everything. Thank you Mr. Brooks.
