Spring Is On Its Way
As we shift into a new season, it can bring new inspiration!
As I recently revisited some of my older notes and stories, this article caught my attention as one of my favorites! I hope these words inspire you like they did me to recognize the miracles in your own life where the right people showed up at the right time to help you out.
It is my belief that there are no such things as coincidences.
Reading a story on the front page of our local newspaper, some years ago, brought tears to my eyes that day. The article was how an almost tragedy turned into a miracle due to divine 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 must be present at all football games, very rarely are there parents or patrons with such extensive medical training to be 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 decade’s 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 football 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 the four can’t explain what told them to be at that field early that given day.
I thought it was a good opportunity for me to write and ask the angels for their perspective about what happened…This is what they shared with me..
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 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.
Love and Blessings,
Cheryl
