How Guardian Angels Must Feel

--by Stoneglow, posted Jul 4, 2012

I was leaving a store at the same time as a gentleman in a wheel-chair.

As we made our way across the parking lot he dropped several items. I slowed down to make sure he was able to pick them up. He got them picked up easily enough but as he started to leave I realised he had missed one of the items - his wallet!

I was so glad I waited the extra minute or so and saw it! He had a wide, grateful, smile on his face when I returned it. And I thought how lucky guardian angels are. They get to see smiles like that all the time!

Thanks for your love!❤
