Touched by an Angel

Often in life we are called upon to help others in their time of need. The choice
to help may be a difficult one because of the situations involved but we overcome them and plunge unconditionally to their aid and without question. In our quest to help, we often experience strange results for our deeds. It seems that whenever we help others there is always some kind of reward hidden within for us for our kindness. Although we do not expect anything in return there always seem to be something there for us ,Whatever it may be...

As I set out on such a mission of mercy, I found myself being lead to places that I had not traveled to in a some time. It was peaceful and serene and its beauty was soothing to the eyes. The road was totally encompassed by trees creating a tunnel of green leaves which was highlighted by the rays of sunlight that penetrated through. At the base of the trees there were wild flowers of various pastel colors. They were purple, blue, yellow with an occasional red and white ones and their sweet fragrances accented the soft gentle breeze that was cooling the summer day.

In the distance I could hear the shrill of the peacocks warning each others of my
presents. The sound penetrated my ears, sending chills up and down my spine, making me feel as though I was in the wilderness in the middle of nowhere. Continuing on I could see them , as they slithered through the underbrush in an attempt to remain invisible and illusive. I came across one in a small opening . He immediately fanned his plumage wide, giving the illusion that he was six foot high, four foot wide and had numerous eye all over him. The moment was breath taking, the colors spectacular and the thought was mind boggling, for if I had not offered to help a friend I would have missed it all. Little did I know the best was yet to come.

Not being able to fulfill my quest to find the person I was looking for, I
immediately sought help from the first person I came across. It happened to be a woman walking down the road wearing denim jeans and jacket. As our eye made contact, the strangest feeling came over me, I felt as though I had known her a lifetime. Since she didn’t know the person I sought, we quickly parted company. For some strange reason I felt compelled to speak to her again and reward her for her assistance. My first thought was to pull over and picked a small bouquet of blue wild flower as a gesture of appreciation. I quickly turned around and headed back to her , stopping to give her the flowers. Her eyes sparkled as her smile lit up her face with delight. No words had to be spoken for her smile told it all.!

At that precise moment car came to pick her up and our visit was cut short. We had not learned much about each but that made no difference to me. Although I often ask myself, was our meeting by fate or was it just luck, or perhaps it was planned by a higher power and meant as a reward for my deed of helping someone else ..In any event it doesn’t matter because, there is no doubt in my mind , I had been touched by an Angel and if it is meant to be our paths will cross again....
