DIVINE DISASTER

My husband had recently gotten out of the Air Force and had landed a very low-paying job at the airport; I was in my 20's; and, we had a young son.  Money was tight--I had just enough left that week to buy a few groceries.

It was a very gusty, windy day--and there was a hard downpour of rain.  I had a fist full of $1 and $5 bills in one hand and coupons clutched in the other hand when I turned the corner of the building to the store.  Suddenly, the wind whipped-up fiercely and my rainhat blew off.  I automatically went to grab it; and, when I did, I let go of the $$$$!  The bills went flying in every direction!  Instant PANIC ATTACK!!!

I went running wildly after the $$$, but it was blowing away from me faster than I could get to it.  I cried out, "Oh, God--HELP ME!"  The next thing I knew, a man in an expensive business suit jumped out of his car and started helping me...and, another lady (on her way to work) stopped to help us chase after the cash.  I was able to grab two bills...they found the rest.  Believe-it-or-not, but I got ALL the money back...it truly was a "miracle!"  I turned around to thank them...but they were gone.

God had heard my desperate cry...He had sent two strangers (or angels) to HELP ME:  One man dressed in an expensive business suit; the other, a lady, on her way to work.  Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things..." (and that He did)!

I never forgot that day...I never forgot that "mini-miracle"...and I've never had another PANIC ATTACK! 

The Lord truly is "a present HELPer in times of trouble!"  [Paraphrased from Psalm 46:10]
