ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE DAY

WHERE ANGELS WALK

Question: How do you know when your time on earth is over?
Answer: If you're breathing, it isn't.

Hello, friends. I'm not sure where I heard the above query, but it makes sense. There is always a job to do in the kingdom, even if it is simply to be the object of someone's love.

Jan puts it another way. "About four years ago, I went on a cruise to Alaska," she says. "We were on our way home to Louisiana, but when I reached San Jose, I felt my front passenger wheel acting oddly. I immediately pulled off to the side, called AAA and reported a flat tire on the truck's front side."

Soon a policeman came down the freeway and pulled over next to Jan. "It's okay, Officer, Jan leaned out her window. "I called AAA about my flat. They're be here soon."

The officer was looking at Jan's front wheel. "Miss, you don't have a flat," he said, his face pale. "You're missing a WHEEL."

"What?" Jan couldn't imagine what he meant, and so she got out and looked at the truck front. There was no wheel there. "The wheel drum, brake line, the tire and wheel"...everything that had once been there was gone," says Jan. "I had to have been going at least fifty miles an hour but no one around me was hurt."

Jan knows that God is always protecting her, and perhaps angels were holding up the truck so it didn't flip. But the near-miss made her aware of something even more special: "Guess I still have His work to do,"she says.

Don't we all?
