The long trip was tiring, but we experienced some unusual evidences of God’s presence with us along the way. Once, after a long day of driving through Oklahoma, Lloyd and I searched without success for an RV park for the night. Finally we stopped and asked a lady coming out of a store for directions. She said she could lead us to one quickly so we gratefully followed her and her elderly sister. It was a good thing they led the way, because even though it was close, it wasn’t easy to find. Soon it was getting dark and we were glad to be parked and getting ready for the night. Nothing seemed to work right, lights in the camper refused to work and Lloyd and I knew we wouldn’t be able to fix an evening meal. About that time the same lady pulled her vehicle up next to our camper again and asked if we were ready for dinner. Grumbling that we didn’t even have lights, I stepped outside to see why she had returned. She had brought us two hot chicken dinners, ready to eat! What a blessing that was, and what a blessing that the Lord took care of us in that moment.
The two women who led us to the campground, Carol and her sister Betty, said they felt the Lord urging them to help us and encourage us on our way. They figured we’d be too tired from our travel to fix a meal and so they delivered one right to our door. When I asked Carol why she would go out of her way to do this for two strangers off the interstate, she answered that one never knew when they would meet angels. She never passed up an opportunity to help a stranger. And all along Lloyd and I thought Carol and Betty were the angels! God bless you, Carol and Betty!
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2
