Do Angel's Walk Among Us?

Do Angel's walk among us? I talked to a brilliant, sassy, classy, and savvy business lady today who is as vibrant as a ray of sunshine! She's full of life, full of energy, and a beautiful spirit both inside and out. By looking at her one would never know that she has the "big C"...Cancer. Although Miss Classy is stepping high today it took one chance encounter with an angel to save her life. After learning that her cancer had returned, (she had been in remission), not only was Miss Classy depressed but after spending a month in the hospital and returning home weak she'd decided that she'd had enough and that she'd give up her fight to live. Going to the grocery store to buy fruits and veggies for her mom who had been complaining that she needed some was probably gonna be one of the last things she would be able to do for her mom before she died. So, weak and newly released from the hospital, she went to the store filling up her basket with things her mother said she needed. At checkout, while the cashier totaled her bill, she realized that she had left her wallet and that she only had $2 and some change in her purse. She told the cashier how much she had and that she'd need to put her things back and come back later. The cashier then replied "You have enough your bill is only $2". When she looked at the cashier in confusion and repeated that she didn't have enough for everything the cashier repeated, "You got $2 and change your bill is only two dollars so you have enough. You take this stuff and go home, get some rest, and take care of yourself because you look like you don't feel well". Astonished and probably walking in a trance Miss Classy walked out the store groceries in hand. It was at that moment that she decided that she was going to fight for her life. If the cashier who didn't know her could be so kind to her, then life was worth living and she would fight to live it! Pep is indeed in Miss Classy's step nowadays! Although she's off to Chemo tomorrow she smiles brightly and laughs often. Why not? She's outlived all her "expiration" dates and is quick to say "You could go before me! Anything can happen!" When I asked whether Miss Classy ever saw that cashier again she said she had not even though she'd gone back to the store several times to find her. Ironically no one even remembers the cashier she describes. Whether the cashier was a good Samaritan or an angel sent by God we'll never know but what I do know is that one act of kindness can mean nothing to you but may change the course of someones life forever. Do angels walk among us? I believe they do, because I believe all of us have the capability of being some body's Angel!
