I saw an angel at work
Sometimes you have to see something to believe it. Like angels.
Unfortunately, angels are adept at not being seen, yet many
people believe in them.
I saw an angel at work last year. No, I did not see the halo. Or
the feathered wings. Or a flowing white gown dancing in the
wind. But there was no mistaking the unique handiwork.
When Little Lady was just one-and-a-half years old, we were
visiting friends in another town. Sunday morning, we accompanied
them to their church, which is surrounded by a great semi-circle
hallway. You cannot enter the church itself except through one
of the four or five doorways from the hallway.
We entered the building, heading right down the hallway straight
for the nursery to leave our Little Lady with strangers for the
first time ever. Note that we had not yet entered the actual
church. The caretaker handed us a number and told us that if our
child got too restless, we would see that number projected on
the screen at the front of the church.
We headed into the church through a door at the far side. We sat
down in a pew, anticipating to see the number within five
minutes.
The number never showed up. After an hour, I snuck up to the
door of the toddler area and saw her gleefully running around.
That in itself might qualify as the work of angels, but the real
miracle was yet to come.
At the end of the service, we went to retrieve Little Lady. As
we led her out of the toddler area, SHE took over and started
pulling my wife by the hand.
She lead my wife down the hallway with great determination,
dragging her through the throng of almost 1000 people milling
about in the hallway, all the way to the far side of the church
where we had entered before to reach our pew. This was no small
feat, and it took ten minutes to get through the crowd, but she
was persistent.
When we had fought our way two-thirds around the church, she
pulled my wife into the church from the hallway through the very
door we had entered earlier
