"What's your angel's name?"
My wife was in one of those large home improvement stores. She purchased a dorm-sized refrigerator to give our daughter for a present. She stood in line waiting to check out and she kept looking at this man in another line near her. She knew she knew him, but couldn’t remember how she knew him, where she knew him from, or anything about him. She just knew she knew him.
Well, after she checked out, she stood by the register, waiting for someone to come and load the refrigerator in her vehicle. And up walks the “mysterious, unnamed man,” asking if he can help her. She gives him that, “I know I know you but I can’t place you” look. He gives her his name, and how my wife knows him. “Oh yea,” she says and he loads the refrigerator for her.
Don’t you just love it when that happens to you?
God sends angels to help us out just about every day of our lives. Some of them we know. Some of them we remember their names. But there are just as many we’ll never know.
Thank God for all of them as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living!

My husband, daughter, and I are thankful for two unnamed "angels" right now. Last Friday was my husband's birthday, and our 20-year-old daughter had told me in advance she would be driving home from Old Dominion University in Norfolk as a surprise to help him celebrate. About an hour from home her car's engine died, and she was alone on the side of the road in the dark with no cell phone service and no houses within sight.
She said she cried for about 15 minutes and then realized she needed to turn on her warning flashers and try to flag someone down to help. After a number of cars passed by, one slowed as it passed and turned around and came back. A young couple from the next town let her use their cell phone to call home and then took her to a prominent 24-hour business overlooking Buggs Island Lake where we could pick her up. She told us later that the wife came back about ten minutes after they had dropped her off just to make sure she was okay.
My daughter only wishes she had gotten their names so she could have thanked them properly, but we figured God used them as angels that night to make sure our daughter was safe.
