It was a terribly hot and humid day many years ago. Cathy and I had been spending all day searching for a place to move in the Wilmington area. Long had we wanted to live near the coast and this was our opportunity.
About four or five in the afternoon we were back in the middle of Wilmington near the famous Riverwalk. We stood hot on the street corner and saw a small store across the street selling cold drinks, so we stepped out to cross. Cathy had seen it first and she was already several steps ahead of me.
As I walked in the crosswalk, I saw a disheveled, dirty man carrying an unkempt bag over his back coming towards me. He looked tired and down and out, and I just knew he was about to ask me for money. But I was so tired, so wet from perspiration and the beating down of the August sun all day, and I just didn’t want to stop. I wanted that cold drink and I walked determinedly right past him.
About two steps past the man, I suddenly had a revelation. “That was an angel!”
I immediately turned around. He was not there. No one was in the crosswalk. He had just vanished.
It had been a test. And I said to myself, “failed that one!”
Wonder how many times in life we encounter people God puts in our path that we are there to help, and we just pass them by? Wonder how many times that person is an angel? This time, he really was.
