Angels watching over me

"God only knows the times my life was threatened just today...near misses all around me--accidents unknown--though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home."

Missed the 104-car pile-up by about 10 minutes on Saturday, driving just ahead of it. Feeling very fortunate and remembering that for everything that goes on in my life, I have no idea (and may never know) all that things that don't. Harmful intentions swayed by a kind word or a change of heart, a little voice saying "now's a good time to swing in to church and say a quick prayer", even sleeping through my alarm and running late--all of it ends up being part of my reality, and part of God's plan for me, if I'm open to it.

Listen to the voices. Look for the good in things. Accept what comes. And maybe even thank your Guardian Angel the next time you hit that red light.

You have learned so young, what it has taken me sooooo long to learn.
There are no coincidences...only God giving us hints as to what he would like us to do.
