TALKING ABOUT ANGELS

When we talk about angels, it just makes me remember how I met my partner 8 years ago. We were just two strangers in a church camp and I was a youth president working round the clock to see how my members settled in well. I made sure they were able to eat and find a good place to sleep. By the time I was done, they had eaten and forgot I was human and should eat too. Perhaps they felt I was a spirit lol. Right there and then I was talking to my vice about how hungry I was, and this stranger offered to get me food. Did I mention she was eating and left her food to go look for food for me… I had even forgotten that she offered to get me food because it was already running late and I had made up my mind to not eat that day. Only to see her coming and sweating profusely. I did not even remember her face and I just wondered what that fine girl did to be sweating like that.

That was when I noticed she was working up to me and when she reached where I was she offered me the food. It was at that moment I had a casual flashback of a girl telling me she would help me get food. At that moment I was so dumbfounded, but what touched me more was when she collected her food back from her friend, it was already cold because it was well over an hour she left looking for food. That effort from a stranger made me see her like an angel sent from heaven. Well guess I am with the angel now lol. However, the most touching and angelic experience I had was when a man helped me pay my school fees in a time when I was not allowed to write exams.

I will never forget how I felt when someone randomly came to meet me for a school fellowship, I was busy sitting outside the school thinking about what to do because I had just been driven out of school. I attended the fellowship and after closing he heard me talking to a friend about how I was sent off that day and not allowed to write the day's exam. He called me aside, asked me what the issue was, and after I told him, he gave me his number to send him all my school expenses. I did so and the next day he paid everything, giving me a chance to write my exams that semester. Even after thanking him, I discovered he attended my church a month later, he did not even remember me, I still see him sometimes and greet him genuinely, but he doesn’t even remember. I guess that is just life, or perhaps it was an angel using his face to help me that day. I do not know why he can not remember me, even after spending that amount of money, but I think it could only be the work of an angel.
