God's Secret Angels

[brent]

I know that this isn't a normal thread but it is one of God's Cures for sure.
Let me explain.
2 months ago I lost my father. It was very unexpected but fortunately for all he passed quickly and painlessly. During that same time my girlfriend and son had a major blow out and she and I split up. It was kind of a tough week for me.
Now I am self-employed so this passing has been hard on me financialy as well with trying to keep up his bills and my own. So I have fallen behind on my cell bill that managed to reach a healthy size to it with all of the use it got during my fathers passing. I tell you all of this so you will understand what happend next.
Daily, I receive a phone call from the cell phone company wanting payment and I have explained the ordeal and it just seem like it has fallen on deaf ears with them. Well, the other day (wed. 3-15-06) I received their phone call and decided to call them and voice my opinion of them. It was not my most proud moment and I used some colorfull language with her. To my amazement she stayed on the line but was very firm with me and quickly put me in my place. It was then that I realized how much of a donkeys rearend I had been to this innocent person and I calmed myself down and appologized about a dozen times to her. Over the course of the next 5 minutes with her helping me everyway she could I started to appreciate her more and more. When we were done I again appologized for my unexcuseable behavior and jokingly said that she had just had the worst customer of the day and that it was only 10 a.m. and the rest of the calls for the day would be frosting on the cake for her.
I tell you all this story not for sympathy for my loss or to share with you how much of a rearend I can be at times. But to let all of you know that there is an Angel living only 150 miles from me.
See, today (only 2 days after my not so proud of moment with her) I received a card of sympathy from her. Not just a company letter-head card but a Hallmark card. That means that she got off work that day made a special trip to the Hallmark store and purchased with her own money a card for me...Folks, I have an Angel living 150 miles from me and I have personally talked with that Angel. The Angels name is "Dawn".
How lucky am I...
I tell this story because I think others should know. Too many times we only hear of the bad things people do.
I would like to ask you to pray for her and have God bless her with His Glory and Love the way that she has blessed me.

Wow! There aren't many folks around like that. Just said a prayer for her and you.

I know that sometimes angels appear in different forms, often in the form people. Had a number of experiences. One was when Chuck and I just got back from Taiwan with our son we adopted from there. We were exhausted and our new son's world had just been turned upside down. He had just turned a year old. We were at the little airport at the town in AK. The cab drivers charge an outrageous fare, then multiply that by the number of people, even if it's a baby. Anyway, we finally got to a phone to call a cab. Waited forever. Then when he came another larger family ran up and he wouldn't take us. Made more money off of them. Right after that, a very nice man came up to us and said he had seen us with our son in the Anchorage airport, was on the plane, saw what the cab driver did and offered us a ride. He knew we were new in town. We accepted the ride. He wouldn't accept any payment, though. I asked for his name, thinking I would send him a card or little gift for his generosity. But, I could not find his name in the phone book, and even though it was a tiny town and I asked dozens of people about him, nobody in town had ever heard of him. I described him and his truck, and nobody had ever seen or heard of him. We had not seen him at the airport in Anchorage, on the plane with us, or in the little airport when we arrived. He just showed up when we needed him. We didn't worry about accepting a ride from a stranger there because it was a tiny town on a tiny island. Well, I don't know, but I honestly believe he was actually an angel.
