Your Angel stories .....

Hi All - one wonderful thing that has been going on in the Google Group is the sharing of some light hearted Angel stories - so I thought it would be nice to share this one from Cinthia - in hope that you will join in and share yours *smile* - it lifts the spirits of others.

I was driving home one evening from Cambridgeshire across the Pennines to Macclesfield in Cheshire. It was dusk, and foggy, and drizzling slightly. My normal route took me through some very quiet isolated roads, but tonight there was a detour, onto an even more unfamiliar, quiet, isolated road. Over a little humpback bridge, where my little car stalled right at the apex....and conked out. Alternator failure I found out later, not charging the battery, which was flat as a pancake. So no hazard warning lights either! Mild panic. Everybody will be coming this way because of the detour, someone's bound to hit my car from behind in the dusk, I'm all alone, 21 at the time, it's getting dark and I'm in a totally unfamiliar place miles from nowhere. Mobile phones were still an expensive luxury then, nobody I knew had one, and I hadn't a clue where the nearest house or phone or pub was.

Within 3 minutes, along comes this saloon car, sees me stranded, and stops. Out gets a dad (kids in back, wife in front, mother in back too) who, after asking what the trouble was, offers me his mobile phone (huge, cumbersome, black) to phone the RAC and let my mum know what's happened. Angel. They came as a family so I wouldn't be afraid of him, they let me sit in their warm dry car whilst my teeth chattered with nerves and relief and prayers of gratitude, and he wouldn't take any money for the call. Magic.

love to you all
