Guardian Angel

Just a small girl, an innocent rose bud lost in daydreams while she walked home from school, for several blocks. It was a fine, spring day in Berkeley warm sun's rays peaked through leaves amidst the trees, by sidewalk streets. Her school bag in hand, preoccupied "Don't step on a crack or on a line keep to the spaces, and you'll be fine." And so she played the sidewalk game until a call was heard, from mother dear across the street, her voice so clear. Without a thought, she ran to meet her mother, yet she was unaware of a speeding car, out of nowhere. The vehicle descended fast upon the child, on that center divide within a split second, she could die. And then, a supernatural event as forces, unforeseen, took place a split second, she flew to the sidewalk, safe. This little girl had turned, was lifted up then gently placed, she had escaped was gathered by angel's arms, embraced. My mother saw it all, before her very eyes her child, rescued, by a miracle that day and I, that little girl, am grateful I was saved. Written on 10/6/2015 For Divine Intervention Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke * This is a true account that happened to me when I was six years old

Great story of the saving-cross. Though traumatic, a life-receiving or resurrection experience. Beautifully narrated. Congratulations!

I believe in angels, I could tell you stories. Have you ever seen the movie CRASH ? There is a scene in there with a gun.

I am glad you entered the Senryu contest which led me here. What a powerful testimony. I bet your mother lived a thousand lives watching you on the edge of death just to be saved by his grace and messenger. This one is going on the list. Thanks for sharing your testimony.

A touching write, but I tend to agree with Tommy Boy. If we're all God's children, then angels (some of them at least) are partial.) Thanks for stopping to read my Tide. Best to you. / M

Wow Laura. What a beautiful thing to actually happen. Your Guardian Angel could not let the tragedy happen. You are truly blessed to have been given a second chance. And to be able to recognize it so clearly is surely a gift that you and your mother have received. Thanks or sharing this wonderful story..... Robert.
