Angel At The Bus
Stop
There was still a steady rain when
Amy
trudged into the shelter at the bus stop
that evening. Sitting heavily on
the bench,
she stared at a muddy gutter, and wondered
when things would
ever change. So much
had been wrong; she felt she was
slowly being crushed
inside.
The physical therapy after the auto accident
was only
supposed to be for a couple weeks.
The weeks had stretched to months, and
although she could walk now, she still fought
for balance on her steps,
and the numbing
ache still robbed her of sleep most nights.
Her
broken collarbone still ached too, when
it rained, like today. Her stomach
growled,
and she grimaced at the thought of food. All
the medications were
ruining her appetite.
She was so tired of being sick. So tired of
being
tired. Amy sat lost in thought, as
the rain dripped steadily off the
awning.
Suddenly, Amy was aware of white service
shoes in front of
her line of vision.
Startled, she followed the sturdy uniform-clad
legs up
to see pudgy tan hands clasped
around an ample waist within a bright
blue
scrub shirt. She looked up into a pair
of crinkled-rimmed kind brown
eyes, and
realized a woman was speaking to her.
"Ya all right,
honey?" she was saying.
Without warning, Amy burst into tears. In
seconds, the woman had stepped close, and
pulled Amie's head to her ample
bosom,
and held her quietly close. The moment
passed, and Amy
straightened up, apologizing
profusely through her tears.
"Stop
Amy," said the soft voice. "God knows
when we're drowning, and need His
touch.
The sun will come out again for you." Gently
she kissed Amie's
forehead, and turned to walk away.
"Wait!" cried Amy, "How did you
know my name?!"
"God knows all His children
by name,
child."
As Amy blinked in astonishment, the bus
arrived, blocking
her view. As she stood
up, shaking her head, the voice came again.
At the
same moment as the breaking sunbeams.
In the mist steaming off the
pavement, Amy
distinctly heard, "He knows you needed
to be held in His
arms, for just a moment. To
hear His heartbeat. He sent me to wrap you in
it today."
Let this story be a simple reminder that God is
always
with you regardless of the storms of life,
and wants you to know that the
sun will rise
again upon your life and overshadow every
obstacle that you
had to go through.
