My sisters and I went into town to a rodeo..... Well me being the brat I was, I had not gotten my own way about something (can't recall now what it was)but anyway I was just going to walk back to Grandma's house.Not knowing it was so far out of town,I began my journey.I walked and walked down a long dirt road.I started getting pretty scared not knowing for sure where I was and it was getting dark.I sat down along side the road and cried and prayed for God to help me find my way. When out of nowhere a stranger appeared...driving down this desolate road. He asked me if I was lost and if he could help me . I was never so glad to see anyone! He asked where I was heading and I told him my grandma's name and he said he knew her and exactly where she lived.(glad someone did!) I got in his car and he took me right to Grandma's house..which wasn't the way I was heading at all! When we got there I jumped out and ran to the house.I turned around to wave and thank him for his help but he was gone! Grandma asked me who the nice stranger was who had giving me a ride...she nor anyone there knew this kind stranger.......hmmm... my Guardian Angel... perhaps?
Just as we thought we were going to ram into the house...the car came to a screeching halt...it just stopped right in the drive way!!
We just sat there looking at each other in disbielf and thanking the good Lord above.Of course the car wasn't so blessed or lucky...it was steaming like old steam engine! The gears were shot...the brakes were fried...uh ...Dad wasn't much to happy with me... and to this day he still dosen't believe my story about the gas petal being stuck....sheesh!
But my guardian angel knew it!
I seems most of my experiences happen while in a car...makes me a 'lil leary of 'em.
I was on a date. We had gone into town to the dance at the school. As you know by now it was about 30 miles from home.
After the dance we headed home.It was getting kinda late and we were both tired.I recall closing my eyes and falling alseep for a second and apparently so did he!
When I was startled by the bumping. We were off the road heading for the canal...he must have panicked and push the gas instead of the brakes cuz we were sure flying! Over the canal we flew hitting the bank on the other side, but inside of going down into the water the car just lifted up and sat down on the other side. I had hit my head on the windsheild from the impact. It was the strangest feeling just being lifted up like that ...There we sat...stunned and amazed.
The next day when my dad and I went to the scene he couldn't believe from the indent of the bank and the damage to the front of the car ,how we ever ended up on the bank .He said " It's a miracle you weren't killed. I can't believe you didn't go into the water".
My Guarian Angel was with me again...
It was a long drive and I was tired on the return trip home. The roads were mostly dry so I was traveling at a pretty good speed. I wanted to get home! When I came to the bridge it was pure ice and the car started spinning out of control...hitting one side of the bridge and flinging us to the other side just like a pin ball game.
There was nothing I could do at this point so I moved to the passenger side of the car to hold on to Tammy and comfort her cuz she was screaming hysterically...I recall telling her "It's ok sweetie.God and the the angels are with us" .
If that wasn't bad enough another car was coming across the bridge at the same time! We just missed 'em...can you believe he never even stopped to see if we were ok? sheesh!
anyway when we made it across the bridge we were heading for the cliff....but just before we went off the cliff the car stopped......we were just hanging over the cliff. I was afraid to move or even breathe...and my heart was pounding a 100mph... Just then a policeman showed up. He told me to very carefully climb out of the car and stand away from it. Then he put a tow rope on it and pulled it back up onto the road with his car. I couldn't believe it.Tammy was crying and I was shaking. Then he pulled the fender out cuz it was bent into the tire...He said I would be able to go ahead and drive it home if I was up to it...well I wasn't really but I wanted to get home. Then he got in his car and he was gone....It was really amazing.There were skid marks on the road but I was no where near the brakes! I was on the other side of the car...and where did this policeman come from just in the nick of time?....and why no accident report? After all I did some pretty good damage to the bridge.
Well I belive it was the hand of God and my Guardian Angel again!
