God sent an angel named James

This morning I had to go to the vet to pay for their services,along with other errands. I got stuck in the snow pulling out of the drive, and in the street as I tried to turn. As I rocked the car, backed it up and ran it forward, I asked God how I was supposed to get out of this, a truck drove by and I asked God why it didn't stop. Couldn't it see I was in need? A few moments later, as the smell of burning rubber filled the air, the same truck came around the corner and stopped. A man named James got out and asked if I wanted a push. I thanked him, but warned him I might run him over. He smiled and suggested I try backing up again into the drive way. He guided me over the ice in the drive to solid ground. And informed me that he had a shovel to dig out the ice if this didn't work. With a silent prayer I went forward again, caught the ice, but slid over it and was on the road.

As tears pricked my eyes I thanked him, and prayed a silent blessing for him. He said I was welcome and walked over to his truck, pulled out his shovel and said he would take care of the ice in the drive for me too.

As both the girls thanked him, I prayed another thank you prayer.

May God bless him profusely.
