My Encounter With an Angel...

I don't remember how young i was at the time, i guessing i was like 10 or something. we were headed to New Mexico to go visit family. my dad's visa had expired so he had to stay behind in the philippines. now we didn't have a ton of money so mom always looked for the cheapest plane tickets.. well, she found the cheapest ones and for some reason when you get cheap plane tickets you get like a ton a layovers.. so usually we go from philppines to tokyo, tokyo to L.A., LA to PHX, and PHX to NewMexico. but for some reason this time from PHX we had to go fly to Dallas and we NEVER flew to the dallas airport. so here's my mom with 3 little kids and a hand full of luggage and she's a little nervous cuz like i said, we NEVER flew into this airport before. so as we get off the plane this black guy comes up to us and asks us if we needed help. he was obviously someone who worked at the airport and he was there to assist people like my mom with a hand full of children. HAHA.. he was one of the coolest dudes ever! i'll never forget him. he was from Samaria and he had the coolest accent!he led us around the airport and i even remember he put on of us (i think it was my sister, who's the youngest) on his back while he was pushing all our luggage. what my mom thought was gonna be a nightmare turned out to be a really cool experience. 

then i think we found out that we had a couple hours to spare before our plane left, so he told my mom that there was a place where we could play while we waited for the next flight. when we got to the little playground they had at the airport there was this lady (who now that i think about it probably was the devil! ahahaha). she was so mean to my mom and our "good samaritan" for some reason. she wouldn't allow us to go in. my mom gave up and said it wasn't a big deal and that we would just wait at the terminal but the samaritan dude insisted that we waited in the playground area. but this lady was just so darn hard headed.. she didn't give in so i think we just went and did something else. 

but i'll never forget that dude! he was definitely a Good Samaritan. out of all the people getting off the plane with children and all the people passing through that gigantic airport he was right there waiting for us as we got off the plane. you might think i'm stupid or crazy but i really do believe that he was an angel. one thing i'll remember was that he was always smiling and laughing and making us laugh. we were in that airport for a couple hours but time seemed to pass by so fast.
God truly does work in mysterious ways..

how bout you? was there ever a time that you felt like you had seen or met or talked to an angel? other than the time you met your girlfriend or boy friend or spouse! HAHAHAHA
