Jesus saved the day for a stranded family — but not the Jesus you might expect.
It’s not every day that one turns 100-years-old, but that’s exactly how old Kerry Maggard and Deb Eggers’ aunt was turning and the sisters planned to celebrate with her.
That was, until, their flight from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls got canceled as a result of bad weather and all other flights to the state were fully booked.
The siblings were also unable to rent a car to drive the 200 miles to their aunt’s birthday party, leaving them with the only (and rather expensive) option they could think of — ordering an Uber.
“I was shocked that anyone picked it up. It was kind of a last resort to see if anyone would consider it,” Maggard told CNN.
According to the app, their driver’s name was Jesus.
“It was picked up immediately and of course I got the message on the phone which said ‘Jesus is 7 minutes away’. When that popped up, I thought God has a sense of humour.” she said.
Jesus drove 4 hours to take the sisters to celebrate their aunt’s centennial (and 4 hours back), saying he believed it was an important occasion. The trip came to $216 and Maggard gave him a $50 tip.
We guess Jesus took the wheel when he needed to.
