A co-worker of my sons told him yesterday that her sons house burnt down. His whole family was home at the time. They all got out with only minor problems. Her son had a slight burn on one hand and his wife suffered from minor smoke inhalation.
Today when they went back to the house to assess the damage they found that the house and all its content were completely gone, except for one item. A Bible. The Bible was not burnt. It was not even singed and it didn't even smell of smoke.
While there at the remnant of their house a complete stranger came by and offered them a place to live completely rent free for however long it would take for them to rebuild theirs. This man also handed them enough money to go to a store to get some new clothes.
Then the insurance assessor showed up a while later and said there would be enough for them to build a new home on that site but they would have to pay for the cleanup as there was not enough for both.
A little while ago another man came to them and offered to haul off all the debris if they would put it all into a truck that he would provide and when it was all cleaned up he would level the ground and get it prepared for the building contractor.
Praise God He does take care of His own. There are still those with a heart filled with His loving spirit.
I got Holy Ghost bumps from reading this story. Seems to me these people,known and unknown, are angels. I've had experiences with all kinds.
One meaning for angel in the Webster dictionary is “a guiding spirit or influence.” In Strong’s Concordance, one meaning is “to dispatch as a deputy.” Deputy is a person appointed to act as an assistant to another. One or more may have been angels dressed like real people. These last are the ones in Hebrews 13:2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
As a new topic, I will put "Angels All Around Me" on as a new topic.
It is so awesome that we have such a great God who will go to all extremes to protect us. I, for one can't thank HIm enough.
