Angels Carry Umbrellas

I was at a church picnic at an outside pavilion.  I was heading home when torrential rain started pouring down.  I offered my friend, a ride home with our family and we made a mad dash for the car. We were running hard and realized that we weren’t getting very wet. We turned around and realized that another friend was running alongside us (she hadn’t said a word) and holding up an umbrella.

A few days later, I was driving and I was thinking about her kindness. I realized that many times we are drowning in sadness and we don’t realize that Heavenly and often Earthly Angels have been sent with umbrellas. We focus on the rain, the wind, the darkness so much that we don’t realize that we aren’t as drenched as we should be. I’m grateful for earthly and Heavenly Angels with Umbrellas.
