Years ago I was taking a short cut through the country to get to my parent's house and I ran out of gas. All I could see were two houses. Our daughter was just a baby then. So I carried her and walked to this house and asked if I could use their phone to call my parents. This nice grandfatherly-type man said he would drive me to my parent's house which was probably 5-10 miles away. He was so sweet, and I remember he lectured me in a gentle way about how I must always check the gas level especially since I had a baby with me. He said no telling who might stop to help and do us harm. I'll never forget that man. He made an impression on me and I always checked the gas level after that. Although running out of gas was an unpleasant situation, God was definitely watching over us, keeping us safe! I’m so thankful you were safe, although I’m sure your feet weren’t feeling too good.

All you will do is run down your battery. But I agree with Cybercelt, next time put your hood up but I would add: ask anyone who stops to call the police. You can't trust anyone these days.

Visiting from Laurie’s blog for Click & Comment Monday.

I ran out of gas one night out in the middle of nowhere. My son was about 8 months old. I was so scared I was going to be killed by a car on the feeder road because I did not have a flashlight or anything. It was probably 5 miles to the nearest sign of life, let alone a gas station.

A man pulled over and helped me out. I thanked him. He said, “it is what I would hope someone would do if my wife or sister were in trouble.”

I cannot believe people drove by a mom and a baby. Next time, put the hood up and just wait. Either a cop or a good Samaritan will help you.

Keep your gas tank filled. If it drops below 1/2 tank, fill it up. In case of emergency, you will be glad you did.
