I was driving home one evening about 5, stuck intraffic, and the car started to die— I hardly managed to get into a gas station, glad only that I wouldhave a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck(拖车). Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the “Quickie Mart” building, then suddenly she slipped(滑倒) on some ice and fell down, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked like she had beenovercome by weep than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who lookedexhausted with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helpedher up, and I picked it up and gave it to her. It was a coin.

At that moment, everything came into focusfor me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban packed full of stuff and threekids in the back, and the gas pump(汽油泵) reading $4.95.

I asked her if she was okay and if she neededhelp, and she just kept saying “I don’t want my kids to see me crying,” so westood at the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California for Christmas and that things were very hard for her right now.

I took out my credit card and swiped(刷磁卡) it through the card reader on thepump so that she could fill up her car completely, and I bought 2 big bags offood for her kids in the car who attacked it like wolves. While it was fueling,she asked, “So, are you an angel or something?” I said, “At this time of year,angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses common people.”

It was unbelievable to be part of someoneelse’s miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it startedright away and got me home with no problem. Sometimes, angels fly close enoughto you that you can hear the flutter(摆动) of their wings.
