A young nun employed by a local home health care agency found herself in a situation as she went about her rounds—her car had run out of fuel. Fortunately, her fortunes took a favorable turn, as a gas station was conveniently located just a block away.
Undeterred, she walked to the gas station with the intention of borrowing a gas can to acquire enough fuel for her car, allowing her to then drive to the station for a complete refill. However, the attendant expressed regret as he informed her that the only available gas can had just been lent out. He kindly suggested that if she was willing to wait, the can would likely be returned shortly.
Considering her urgent appointment to see a patient, the nun decided against waiting and retraced her steps back to her car. Upon searching her vehicle for a suitable container to transport gas to the station, her eyes fell upon a bedpan she was carrying for the patient. Demonstrating her resourcefulness, she took the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carefully transported it back to her car.
While in the midst of pouring the gas into her car’s tank, two men observed the scene from across the street. One of them turned to his companion and humorously remarked, “I’m aware that the Lord turned water into wine, but if that car starts now, I pledge to attend church every Sunday for the entirety of my life!”
