Ever Had A Guardian Angel?
Author: Kirstine Pallette

I hear stories all the time about people who were really close
to getting in a bad car accident but didn't. Or I hear about
people who decided to take a different route into work only to
learn that there was a huge accident on their normal route.
Many of these people attribute their good fortune to having a
trusty guardian angel.

Someone once told me about a time when she only had a small
budget to use on groceries for her family. After filling her
cart with more items than she thought she could afford, the
woman went forward to pay for her items and ended up having
spent only a portion of her small budget. How? Because another
customer, whom she called her guardian angel, left behind a
valuable coupon giving this woman a large percentage off on all
her groceries.

Has something like this ever happened to you? Have there been
events in your life that have caused you to wonder if you had a
guardian angel watching over you?

I used to think people who claimed they had a guardian angel
were a bit crazy in the head. I thought that they had gotten
out of a rough situation and given the credit to where credit
really was not due. That all changed on the day that I was
driving home from a trip to Kentucky with a friend.

We had been on the road for hours and were trying to make it a
few more hours before we stopped for food or rest. Trying to
keep ourselves occupied by singing to our favorite cd's at the
top of our lungs, our trip seemed to be going just fine. That
is until our car began making a funny noise and then slowing
down to a screeching halt on the side of the highway. We were
out of gas. Refilling our tank was something we had never
discussed in our plans to get home quick. So here we were, two
young women in the middle of nowhere with an empty fuel tank.
Fortunately for us, a guardian angel was not far behind.

We were miles from an exit in either direction and we had not
seen a car pass since we had come to a stop nearly twenty
minutes before. Some highway this was. Out of what seemed like
nowhere a man driving a truck pulled up behind us and got out
to offer assistance. He drove us to the nearest station, filled
a small portable tank with gas and then took us back to our car.
No sooner had we finished putting the small amount of gas in our
car than we turned around to offer him thanks. He, the man, our
guardian angel, was nowhere in sight. He and his car had
disappeared without either of us hearing or noticing anything.
We looked in both directions and saw no evidence of him on the
highway. Before this day I would have said a situation like
this was a coincidence, but no longer.

Me and my friend had been helped by a guardian angel. And just
yesturday I was three cars away from being in a major pileup.
Accident? Coincidence? I don't think so. I guess once you've
got a guardian angel it never goes away.
