Angels unaware--the Bible says we encounter them. Today we had two angels show up at our house--and we were fully aware that God sent them.
Last night a storm rolled through our neighborhood at 3 am. We awoke to a yard that resembled Armageddon. Four large trees lay roots up entangled in electrical lines. A huge splintered trunk blocked our country lane. Only on foot could you leave our yard;cars could not get through.
I used my iphone to post pictures of storm damage on facebook and check with friends to see how they fared. Soon after, a man from our church's home group called. "How would you like some help clearing your road?"
Did you know angels drive shiny red trucks? One rolled up to our home soon after. Out came two of our care group members, a chainsaw and food from Dairy Queen. In no time the road was clear again, our bellies were full and my heart was singing.
Thank you, Lord, for the Body of Christ. Thank you for chainsaw angels!

What an uplifting and encouraging story! We got some of the storm, but watched and prayed last night as we saw others in the next state over getting the brunt of it! Definitely a tough storm. So glad y'all are ok! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this story!! I am so glad that the guys could help...I know Kevin was ready to get out of the house when he got the call about your trees being down!! I am so very glad that you got electricity back Saturday evening as well.
