Thread Name: BS: Are there really Angels?
Subject: RE: BS: Are there really Angels?
Here's an interesting little "angelic" coincidence - last summer at the Rolling Stones concert in Toronto, my friend Don had a wonderful experience. He'd waited for an hour to meet his son at a pre-arranged time and place in the park, but the son didn't show. Worried, Don spent the next hour wandering through the crowd of half a million people in the sweltering heat searching for him. No go.

Ready to give up he headed back to the original meeting-place - and en route he passed by a hot miserable-looking toddler. The child was sitting in a little plastic wading pool, but there was no water in it. Water was at quite the premium that day, and no one seemed willing to give up their precious supply to fill that wading pool. So Don poured his last two bottles of water into the pool, much to the child's relief and delight.

No sooner had he done that but he turned around - and there was his son and girlfriend standing right behind him!

Now this may or may not have anything to do with "angels", but I just love what's implied here -- when you act like an "angel" by giving something of yourself to help another, it seems like you attract the same loving attentions to yourself -- and your own needs and desires are met too!
