The Angel

An angel crossed my path today. I got too smart when I was driving down our icy road today and got stuck in the deep snow on the shoulder. While I was struggling to get the vehicle out, an older man, a stranger to me, noticed my plight and stopped to help. After pushing and pulling and a trip to a neighbor's for a shovel and a bit of added gravel for good measure, we got the old van out. I barely got his name as he turned to walk back to his truck and then I was on my way.

We are blessed to live in such a place and among such generous neighbors. I hope I'll have the opportunity to pass it on.
