Not my day off

Today was a really powerful day for me.  I was a vessel for God's mercy in a mans life.  I did what God asked me to do and I fought myself to not take the easy way out or half-ass the job.  There was a gentle man that I am acquainted with that was needing help getting to neighboring towns to get some important paperwork done. He has no friends or family to drive him.  He simply has no one.  Every time I questioned him about his documents he could simply tell me no one would take him.  Finally I arranged to meet him on my day off and help him run errands.  He was a no-show.  I see him walking almost every day though so I thought I may run into him on my way home.  I promised God I would pick him up and take him to do his errands if I saw him.  I did see him and I kept driving.  I made it half a mile when I became really irked with myself for not being a man of my word to God and to myself and to this man.  So I turned around and went and got him.  Well he didn't have any of the documents he needed to get his paperwork done.  He is very border-line handicapped.  So I thought "not my fault, he didn't do his part he can go about it on his own if he doesn't make it easy for me" The truth of the matter is that I don't always make it easy for God and he told me that.  His spirit said "be this mans advocate".  So we tracked down his papers, it entailed a few phone calls and a few stops but we got it done.  I listened to his mindless ramblings for 3 hours in the car today, on my day off...but really...was it my day to begin with?  I make my "day off" mine, but if I am to be a Christian about it, it is not mine, it is Gods.  Today my day off was not my day off, it was God's day for me to work.  I don't tell this to glorify myself but to be humbled by my convictions and share my lessons learned.
