Yesterday evening I drove to work (our new location) and had to park in a new place. Because I was not fully aware, I turned into the wrong parking area (they also do not mark it clearly). Once in, I couldn't get out without a token, which I did not have! I finally located someone at an adjacent parking structure who said I had to pay $5.00 for a token (even though I did not want to park, but to leave). I thought this was unfair and I was fuming . He also gave me a # I could call later to complain. I had to go back to my car to get my purse (which I never leave in the car, but had this time). While I was walking to my car a woman was driving out of the lot. She rolled down her window and handed me a token (she gets them free since she is an employee). You could say I was rescued by angels. You could say that was always the end of the story. I accepted I would have to pay $5.00, but not without a struggle and feeling indignant. And my struggle and indignation were never necessary. Had I taken my purse with me, I would have paid the $5.00 right away. Because I left my purse in the car, I had to go back for it, and the kind lady gave me the token. It reminds me of the beautiful Bible verse: Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27
