"Here Comes My Guardian Angel"

December 4

An angel is “a messenger of God.” This is the first definition listed in the dictionary.
I stop in a coffee shop in a small city. The young woman behind the counter appears to be sad. I ask if she is OK. She tells me she has just come from the hospital where her mother is facing a sensitive operation in the morning. I say I will pray for her and her mom.

A week later as I'm entering that same coffee shop I hear her say to another customer, “Here comes my guardian angel.” I’m not, of course, but God did use me to bring her a message of hope. Who does God want you to help today?

“I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” (Matthew 25:40)
