Late one evening, a missionary asked the Lord to help him stay awake
as he drove through the night to speak at the next church. Just then
he saw a hitchhiker walking in the rain and picked him up. As they
talked, he discovered that the stranger was a believer and that they
actually had many of the same friends. They laughed together, shared
stories and, before they knew it, dawn was breaking and the hitchhiker
was saying, "Here's where I get out."
Before they parted, they had a cup of coffee together at a road side
cafe and promised to pray for each other.
By now the rain had stopped and it was daybreak. A few minutes down
the road, the missionary suddenly realized that he hadn't got the man's
phone number, so he returned to the cafe hoping to catch him. But
there was no sign of him. When he asked the waitress which way he had
gone, she looked puzzled and said, "Who? you came in here alone!
I wondered why you ordered two cups of coffee". The missionary glanced
at the table where they'd sat and, sure enough, the hitchhikers cup was
still full to the brim and cold. Then suddenly he remembered that when
he'd picked him up the night before in the pouring rain - he wasn't even wet!
SOMETIMES YOU SEE THEM - GENERALLY YOU DON'T. BUT JUST WHEN YOU NEED
THEM THE MOST, " HE ORDERED HIS ANGEL'S TO PROTECT YOU WHEREVER YOU GO"
