Good Evening, All,
Reading a story on the front page of yesterday's newspaper brought tears to my eyes.
First of all, it was a good news story which isn't always the norm in newspapers, especially worthy of front page coverage.
To me, this is a story of angelic intervention...
It was the story about a junior high football coach who had a
very serious heart attack right on the field during a game. The statistics, according to the paper, indicated that this type
of heart attack is almost always fatal 95% of the time. While there is a town rule that an EMT mut be present at all
football games, very rarely are there parents or patrons with such extensive medical training at a game at any one time.
But this day was different...
My impression of what happened is that many angels were at work on that Sunday
afternoon to help this coach as he collapsed...One parent, who "happened" to be a surgeon "arrived early"
for his son's game which was to start after the game that was already in progress. Another parent with over a decades
worth of emergency room experience also "arrived early" awaiting the next game and was sitting in the bleachers
with eyes on the field. The opposing team playing at this footfall game had a parent with over a decade of nursing experience;
plus having the EMT present at the field, made a total of four medical professionals that witnessed something that needed
their attention. Two out of four can't explain what told them to be at that field early that given day.
It
was a good opportunity to ask the angels about what happened...
Cheryl, what we want you to tell people is
here is a story about the kind of work God's angels perform. There is nothing coincidental or lucky about it.
Miracles do happen every day and angels intervene very often on people's behalf. This story was shared as a reminder
to pay attention even to the small miracles that happen to all people, so when greater things happen, be reassured that the
angels will always be by your side. This coach clearly has more coaching to do both on and off the field because of
his life being saved.
I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did.
Peace,
Cheryl
