Coat Hanger Angel

  A woman was at work when she received a phone call
that her daughter was very sick with a fever.  She left her
work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication
for her daughter. When returning to her car she found  that
she had locked her keys in the car.  She was in a hurry to
get home to her sick daughter,she didn't know what to do,
so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had
happened and that she did not know  what to do.The  baby
sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse.She said,
"You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door".
The woman looked around  and found an old rusty coat
hanger that had been thrown down on the ground possibly
by someone else who at some time or other had locked their
keys in their car.  Then  she looked at the hanger and said,
"I don't know how to  use this."  So she bowed her head and
asked God to send her some help.
Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a  dirty,
greasy, bearded man who was wearing an  old biker skull rag
on his head. The woman thought, "Great God.  This is what you
sent to  help me?" But, she was desperate,  so she was also
very thankful.
  The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She
said "Yes, my daughter is very sick.I stopped to get her some
medication and I locked my keys in my car, I must get home to
her.Please, can you use this hanger to unlock  my car." He said,
"SURE". He walked over to the car,and in less than  one minute
the car was opened. She hugged the man and  through her tears
she said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH..... You are a very nice man."
The man replied,"Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of
prison today.   I was in prison for car theft and have  only been
out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again and
with sobbing tears cried out loud........
"THANK YOU, GOD, FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!"

TODAY I SMILED

Today I smiled, and all at once
Things didn't look so bad.
Today I shared with someone else,
A bit of hope I had.

Today I sang a little song,
And felt my heart grow light,
And walked a happy little mile,
With not a cloud in sight.

Today I worked with what I had
And longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds,
Were flowers at my door.

Today I loved a little more
And complained a little less,
And in the giving of myself,
  I forgot my weariness.

  Pennies from Heaven

I found a penny today
just laying on the ground.
But its not just a penny
this little coin I found.

Found pennies come from heaven.
That's what my grandma told me.
She said angels tossed them down.
Oh, how I loved that story.

She said when an angel misses you,
they toss a penny down.
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
make a smile out of your frown.

So don't pass by that penny
when your feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven
that an angel tossed to you.

  FRIENDS ARE LIKE ANGELS . . .

Our friends are like angels who brighten our days
  In all kinds of wonderful, magical ways.
  Their thoughtfulness comes as gifts from above,
  And we feel we're surrounded by warm, caring love.
  Like upside-down rainbows, their smiles bring the sun
  And they fill ho-hum moments with laughter and fun,
  Friends are like angels without any wings,
  Blessing our lives with the most precious things.
  "Thank you" to all the special angels in my life!
