Miracle Stories
The Wind Beneath My Curls
It was a normal spring day with a breeze so cool that it made being cooped up all winter seem like a life time of dull. Just like two little girls of the age seven , me and my friend were ready to take on the bright new season and all it had to offer.
She lived behind me and had become my best friend. We did everything together. Now it was time to find new adventures to shape memories. We ventured out into the spacious back yard where all the world full of imagination could take us to a place we had never been.
We laughed and ran , played so hard. All the while under the watch of my mom's loving eyes. She always told me that angels watched over me and protected me no matter where I was and what I was doing. In my childlike faith I believed anything she said , after all she is mom.
As the day progressed and we seem to have covered catching up on all the mud pies and green leaf stew we could make , we decided to take a break and go swing. I had a really old swing set but it would go higher then any one around. My dad was the greatest he had bolted it to the ground so we could swing and swing until we could reach the sky.
My mom and dad were so great. Dad always thought of ways to make things work even it wasn't the right way. For instance he had put us up an antenna on the old tree stump out front of the house and ran the wire to the house. Worked great , you would never think such a small detail would lead to something so dangerous.
As we swang the breeze picked up and I could feel the wind beneath my curls blowing them as if they had a mind of their own. But we paid no never mind to it. It felt great to be free and outside after a long winter.
The sky turned dark and the breeze was no longer a breeze but pulled and tugged at my skirt telling me it was time to stop. But who could , not me.
Then crack , the loudest thunder I ever heard it shook the swing set and rattled my brains for a minute. My friend looked at me and at that instant I heard my mom yell for us to come in a storm was brewing. But didn't my mom always tell me that my angel was always watching to keep me safe in a storm. Well I wasn't ready to give in to the determination of the wind and thunder. Then flash and flash again , crack , we both jumped at the same time and floated to our feet.
We began to run for the porch from where my mom had called , my friend ran faster she was bigger she got ahead of me , I was left behind.
I took a short cut undet the wire that ran from the tree to the house. JUST at that instant a flash of lightning hit the tree and a current started creeping up to the wire.
I was under it , then it happened. Someone touched me , gently pushed me down on me knees, held me there in place , I was froze in place. They didn't hurt me but I felt pressure on my neck on both sides , I couldn't move while the electricity rolled through the wire and under me in the ground then to the house. I was saved. All at once it was over and I was released as quickly as I was down.
I ran in to tell my mom about it. After close inspection she found two very large handprints one on each side of my head, singed into my skin. Red but not hot. they covered my ears neck and forhead. The holy touch of my guardian angel. She ask my friend it she saw anyone and she said a man had bent over me and then disappeared. A miracle, I did have guardian angel and that day I was touched by a angel. Those holy handprints stayed on me for six hours as proof in the pudding .My faith was also burned into my soul that day and I will never forget the touch of angel hands.

Sharon, I had goosebumps as I read this for I can identify. "A Cup Of Comfort" published an article of mine where I told how an angel saved me in a storm when a large tree was hit by lightning as I passed under it. The tree demolished a small building in its path but I was unharmed. God is so good!
