When Angels Appear

Isn’t God’s timing impeccable? Perfect?

Feeling a bit downtrodden from Monday’s ambush of online harassment, the negativity was affecting my disposition.

On Tuesday, I rushed into a monthly board lunch meeting for a local non-profit. I was running late due to a last-minute appointment with my allergist. I quietly sat down next to a friend; however, the table’s legs were offended by my intrusion and were warring with mine for the small space. I quickly retreated to a more comfortable seat at another table.

Unknowingly, I sat next to a gentleman that God had brought to me as His messenger through His marvelous plan.

At the conclusion of the meeting, as I was getting up to leave, I said to Mr. Messenger, “Hi, how you doing?”

His overwhelming response: “Wow! I was chair of a jury last week and my eyes were opened wide. I had no idea? Tell me, do you know any foster parents?”

Taken aback, my busy mind quickly filled with thoughts of horrifying foster home abuse.

“I’m a foster parent,” I sheepishly responded.

Mr. Messenger quickly grabbed my arm squeezing and excitedly exclaimed,

“THANK YOU!“

Thank you, Lord, for your perfect plan. For how you place your angels in my life at just the precise moment. You put a series of events in motion that fall together perfectly. So overwhelming that my small mind can’t fathom.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. ~Romans 8:28
