With the wind-chill factor, it was minus 45 degrees outside. Snow was on its way. <em>We won\u2019t be able to bring Suzan home this afternoon,<\/em> I thought, looking sadly out the window. Our daughter had started her freshman year at Kent State University. My husband, Wayne, and I were looking forward to having her home for Christmas break. Airline flights were grounded and TV alerts flashed on every channel: Stay indoors, avoid driving. Even the 35-mile drive to Kent State would be too risky.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne pulled into the driveway in our Chevy Blazer, and I went to the door. His office had obviously closed early. \u201cReady to go?\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo pick up Suzan,\u201d Wayne said. \u201cIf we leave now, we can beat the snow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you kidding?\u201d I said. \u201cThe news reports say to stay home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wayne waved off my concern. \u201cThe Blazer\u2019s built for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/faith-to-weather-the-storms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bad weather<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If he thought we could do it, maybe we could. \u201cI\u2019ll get my coat,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d hoped my misgivings would go away once we got on the road, but at every mile marker, I was tempted to tell Wayne to turn around. At least we were coming up on Brecksville, where my brother, Paul, lived.<\/p>\n<p>A sudden, strange grinding sound came from the Blazer. \u201cProbably just ice on the tires,\u201d Wayne assured me. He was as confident as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Until the noise in the Blazer got louder. The car stalled, then started, then stalled again. Each time it happened, the news warnings played in my head. \u201cIf you must be outside, cover your skin everywhere.\u201d What if we got stranded? I\u2019d let Wayne\u2019s confidence\u2014and my impatience to see Suzan\u2014overrule <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/god-s-talking-are-you-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what God was probably trying to tell me<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I called my brother on my cell phone and gave him the mile marker we\u2019d just passed. \u201cWe need the closest gas station,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne\u2019s not far,\u201d Paul said, giving me directions. \u201cI\u2019ll meet you there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t want him out in this weather too, but he insisted. Snow had finally started to fall. The wind picked up. Wayne and I limped along to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/a-gas-station-where-grace-abounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the gas station<\/a>. Our Blazer died just as we reached it.<\/p>\n<p>Paul was there in minutes. \u201cFar as it will go?\u201d he asked, getting out of his car. At least he was dressed for the weather, bundled from head to toe with only his eyes showing and a furry hat that looked like it came straight from Siberia. <em>Thank you, God, for giving him more sense than my husband and I showed when we left the house at all.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll have to push it up and over that little apron into the lot,\u201d Wayne said. They told me to wait in Paul\u2019s car. Neither of them was in the best physical condition for this task. I got in Paul\u2019s car, kicking myself. Then I swallowed my pride and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/god-is-always-on-call\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called on the God I should have listened to<\/a> in the first place. \u201cPlease keep us safe even though I didn\u2019t heed your warnings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the window of Paul\u2019s car, I saw the glint of headlights. <em>Who else would be out in this weather?<\/em> A pickup truck made its way toward us and stopped. A young man stepped out\u2014wearing only a short-sleeved white T-shirt and tan-colored pants. His muscular physique stood out in the gusting wind. The swirling snow glistened in the darkness and gave him an otherworldly radiance, almost like an angel.<\/p>\n<p>The young man walked toward Paul and Wayne and positioned himself between them. I hadn\u2019t realized until then how tall this man was. He towered over my husband and brother, looking like a giant between them. A giant with no need for coat or hat?<\/p>\n<p>He lifted the back of the car himself and pushed it up the ramp, setting it down in the lot. Paul and Wayne hardly helped. The man nodded at them, walked back to his truck and was swallowed up in the darkness. I didn\u2019t even see his taillights as he drove away.<\/p>\n<p>Paul drove us the rest of the way to Kent State for Suzan, then back to his house to wait till the weather cleared. Our Blazer stayed at the gas station until we could return for it. We enjoyed every minute of Suzan\u2019s Christmas break. But <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/one-more-lesson-learned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I\u2019d learned my lesson<\/a>. I\u2019d given God extra work to do in his busiest season, simply because I was impatient. Even so, he\u2019d sent an angel to our rescue, an angel he may have had to relocate from warmer climes. Because our angel was dressed for a summer\u2019s day during a polar vortex.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more angelic stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/angels-on-earth-magazine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Angels on Earth<\/strong><\/a><em> magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weather report explained the record-breaking cold this Friday as a polar vortex.
