Not a problem. I hope that I can keep sharing on the list and that with
God's help we can all be touched here and there by His love.

Angel On The Highway

Author Unknown 

I just had one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and wanted to
share it with my family and dearest friends. Here it is: 

I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on
Colorado Blvd., and my car started to choke and sputter and died. 

I barely managed to coast, cruising, into a gas station, glad only that I
would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait
for the tow truck. It wouldn't even turn over. Before I could make the call,
I saw a woman walking out of the "quickie mart" building, and it looked like
she slipped on some ice and fell into a gas pump! So I got out to see if she
was okay. When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by
sobs than that she had fallen. She was a young woman who looked really
haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped
her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel. 

At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the
ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car
seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95. I asked her if she was okay and if
she needed help, and she just kept saying "I don't want my kids to see me
crying," so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said
she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right
now. 

So, I asked, "And you were praying?" That made her back away from me a
little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, "He heard you,
and He sent me." 

I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she
could fill up her car completely, and while it was fueling walked to the
next door McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates
for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car
who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and
talking a little. 

She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City. Her boyfriend left
2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she
wouldn't have money to pay the rent January 1st, and finally, in
desperation, had called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5
years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and
try to get on her feet there. 

So. she packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they
were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live
there. 

I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for
safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, "So, are you
like an angel or something?" 

This definitely made me cry. I said, "Sweetie, at this time of year angels
are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people." 

It was so incredible to be a part of someone else's miracle. And of course,
you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home
with no problem. I'll put it in the shop tomorrow for a check, but I suspect
the mechanic won't find anything wrong. 

Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter
of their wings. 

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never
suffer the righteous to be moved." - Psalms 55:22 

----- 

"Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren, friends, other
relatives and all of those who may be suffering in some way right now. Show
them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to
minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them
Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed
confidence through Your grace... In Jesus' precious name. Amen."
