>I just had one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and wanted
to
>share it with my family and dearest friends:
>
>I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5:00, stuck in
>traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter
and
>die - I barely managed to coast, cursing, 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 rent Jan 1, and finally in
>desperation had finally 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 to check, but I suspect the mechanic
>won't find anything wrong.
>
>Sometimes angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter
>of their wings...
>
>Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee
>He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
>
>Instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless,
>especially for the months in 2005, and I picked you.
>
>Please pass this to four people you want to be blessed and a copy back
>to me.
>
>This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we
receive.
>
>There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for one
>another.
>
>
>Here is the prayer:
>"Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren, friends,
>relatives and email buddies reading this 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."
>
>I know I picked more than four and you can, too. When Satan is knocking
>at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could You please get that for me?"
