Angel At The Bus Stop


 
There was still a steady rain when Amee
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. Amee sat lost in thought, as
the rain dripped steadily off the awning.

Suddenly, Amee 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, Amee burst into tears. In
seconds, the woman had stepped close, and
pulled Amee's head to her ample bosom,
and held her quietly close. The moment
passed, and Amee  straightened up, apologizing
profusely through her tears.

"Stop Amee," 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 Amee's forehead, and turned to walk away.

"Wait!" cried Amee, "How did you
know my name?!"

"God knows all His children
by name, child."

As Amee 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, Amee
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.
