This Angel Touched This Widow's Life by Terrie*

i remember seein' him
through the corner of my eye
as he sat alone
at the end of the empty street
from a distance
he always gave me a smile with a warm greet
my chidren and i walking home
from the country store

i carried groceries in hand
he was asked for some change
a new widow i was
didn't have very much to spare
but my faith was always on our Lord
to provide our next meal

without his knowledge of my circimstances
i gave him all that i had
he Blessed us
and said a prayer for my children and i

i ALWAYS had time
to hear words of our Lord
i was touched by his kind heart
it had so much love ready to burst out
i seen him many times after that
one day he came by
when i had exhausted the last bit that i had

my children and i were always very private people
i raised them both to be strong
I believe God sent him that day
he came over with a load of groceries
that i made stretch out
to last the children and i for a month
and plenty still to share with strangers and friends
that was my losf of bread and fish
that God multiplied for us
he said he donated some hours at a nearby shelter
and his pay was
groceries that he shared with us
i was so touched
he said God inspired him to do that
i was drawn to tears
that were like angel wings floating around my soul
he said since then he has always had plenty of
things in life to survive
to get to where he needed to go
this was the first time
i ever heard of orphans,strangers and widows
coming as one in our Lord
the last words that he shared was
the Lord has big plans for you be patient ,wait
for a loving heart he sends your way
it won't be tonight it won't be tomorrow
but he will show up
when he does you will fall in love with his heart
he will share his spiritual wisdom
his knowledge as well as his love

my thought were
what had he known?
what had he discovered ?

i lived in Darkness
as depression had set in
yet unknown to those
whom knew me i never shared that sad part of my life
never cried out in front of them
yet i turned to God to pull me out

my in laws thought i was taking it well
as i worked on the yard pulling weeds
yet i was going through hell
the tears seemed to be so heavy
as heavy as my heart had become

that day when this stranger became my friend
i allowed myself to cry a little bit of my heart
as months went by
when i felt more comfortable
i regained my strength to be out and about

i went to the mission to find this man
i asked for him by name
i even shared a picture i took of him
they all agreed they did not know
or ever seen him before
somethingg that remains in my mind

was this stranger i entertained an angel unaware
how many more are going to enter my life??

written shortly after my husband passed away, a true ANGEL that found his way into our home. his words followed me TODAY ,as a new love a spiritual man full of wisdom and knowledge has entered my life ..one among us..
