“I don’t mind
telling you about myself,” Al said, “I came close to getting killed, and the
results left me with pretty bad headaches and nightmares. Close to a year ago I
collapsed, and the doctors found a growth in the back of my brain. They did
surgery and told me that my future was uncertain; the growth might never grow
again or it could come back.”
Al continued, “I
went a few weeks without symptoms. And, I really thought that the headaches and
dreams were over. But, they’re not. I can live with what is going on. It might sound
strange to some people, probably not you, but, I’m okay with whatever happens. The
Lord is in control of my life and I know that.”
He went on, “I haven’t told anybody what I’m about
to tell you. On my way here, I think I met an angel. Her name was Edith, and
she was one of the sweetest old ladies I ever met. We traveled together for a
while and she told me some pretty incredible things. She told me that God
wanted to use me in a very wonderful way and she really encouraged me. We had
coffee at one of the stops and then she said she had to meet her family and walked
away. The funny thing was, she said she was walking around the corner and down
the street. When we first got out of the bus, I remember looking around the
coffee shop and there were no houses down the street. Just the coffee shop, gas
station and a couple of old, abandoned clap-board buildings.”
Pastor Hank said, “That is an incredible story. God
must have His hand of guidance on you. I don’t understand what this little town
has to do with any of it. But, what I know isn’t that important. It’s what God
has planned that is vital. Now, as far as an angel is concerned, that is fascinating.
I’ve heard of people who believe they witnessed or talked with an angel. What
made you think Edith was an angel?” Al said, “That’s simple. She knew things about
me that nobody knew. She spoke with an authority that I’ve never heard before.
And, I knew in my soul that there was something strangely wonderful about her.”
