EARTH ANGELS

Many people have been aided by mysterious strangers. They appear, seemingly out of nowhere, in moments of distress, during a disaster, after an accident or whenever you find yourself in a hopeless situation.

These strangers can be angels who appear in the form of a human being to protect, guide and save us when situations are byond our control. They are the most common and most dramatic manifestations of angels.

Earth Angels can be male or female and of any race or nationality. They are most often male, usually clean cut and well dressed. They are polite and knowledgeable about the crisis and quickly take charge. They speak softly and sparingly. They can eat real food and seem as humas as the rest of us.

However, once the problem is solved, they vanish. Infact, their appearance just in the nick of time and disappearance when thanks are about to be given, are typical of th is ange.

Here is an astonishing and true story of an Earth Angel:



I had traveled from Sacramento, California, to Washington D.C. to visit my family. But when my children and I arrived, we found ourselves unwelcome. The gifts I had brought were tossed in the trash. We were told to leave. I had five dollars and no return ticket. My husband had drunk up the money for our fare and we were stuck and broke.

Not knowing wht to do or where to go, I called a cab.

"Please take us to a homeless shelter," I directed the driver.

"Why do you want to go there?" he asked me.

So I told him the long, sad story and he drove us to the nearest shelter. But they had no room. Incredibly, the driver waited while we were turned away. Without speaking, he drove to a hotel and caried my bags inside. He paid for the room and said, "I'll be back in the morning at nine sharp"

Sure enough, he showed up, took us to breakfast and said, "Child, I know you're having a hard time. Here's money for two more days and tickets to get back home. May God bless you."

He gave me his business card and that was the last time I heard or saw him.

Six days after I arrived home, I called the cab company to thank him. I gave his name, cab number and description.

"Lady, we don't have anyone like that working here," they told me. I called the police, but they'd never heard of him either. Nobody had!

I was so overwhelmed that I began to weep. I thanked God for sending his angel of mercy to me. And from that day in 1981 until this very day, I tell people that when they are as low as they can go, an angel will come and take them by the hand, just as my taxicab angel did to me.
