I could hear lively music coming from <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/grandchildren\/making-family-memories-at-the-apple-orchard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the apple orchard<\/a> nearby. \u201cIs someone having that kind of party now?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot exactly,\u201d Grandmother said. She explained that the man who owned the orchard employed migrant workers to gather the apples and care for the trees. \u201cThe days are long and hard,\u201d she said, \u201cbut the workers are enjoying some free time before they get their rest.\u201d She believed the workers deserved more money than the orchard owner paid them, and in her opinion he didn\u2019t feed them enough either. \u201cTomorrow we do something about that, at least,\u201d she said. She organized with other neighbor ladies to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/the-joy-of-helping-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bring evening meals<\/a>. When it was her turn, I went with her. I was surprised to see that it wasn\u2019t only men working in the fields, but families too. The older kids stood beneath the trees and boxed up the apples on the ground, while younger kids carried water to workers further out in the orchard.<\/p>\n<p>Grandmother struck up a conversation with one of the young women. Her name was Maria, and she and her husband, Tony, were expecting a baby. \u201cWe\u2019re going to stay with my parents,\u201d Maria said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to earn money for the bus ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to need a lot of things when the baby comes,\u201d Grandmother told me when we got home. \u201cLet\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/angels\/see-i-am-sending-an-angel-before-you-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ask God to send angels<\/a> to help that young couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAngels?\u201d I said. I\u2019d heard Grandmother pray plenty of times, but this was the first time I\u2019d heard her mention anything about angels. I couldn\u2019t quite picture the angels I knew from Christmas cards carrying diapers and baby powder. Grandmother saw that I was skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we do our part,\u201d she said, \u201cangels will do the rest.\u201d Grandmother went to the closet and brought out a box filled with S&amp;H Green Stamps. She spilled the pile of them onto the kitchen table. I saw a few full sheets or partial pages. Most fluttered out of the box as single, loose stamps. \u201cYou can see I\u2019ve been saving up for just the right purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We sat down at the table and flipped through the baby section of the S&amp;H catalog. My eyes fell on a bassinet with ruffles and a canopy. It came with an elaborate layette. \u201cEverything a young mother will need,\u201d Grandmother said. \u201cLet\u2019s see if we have enough stamps to fill the 20 books it costs.\u201d It would take us a while to find out\u2014we had a lot of stamps to glue in before Maria and Tony left at <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/seasonal-prayers\/five-prayers-for-the-end-of-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the end of the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming weeks, Grandmother made her best meals for the orchard workers. One week it was a big pot of chili with corn bread. The next it was fried chicken, potato salad, green beans and buttermilk biscuits. Every meal included iced tea, lemonade and homemade cookies that I helped bake. While Grandmother chatted with Maria and Tony one evening, I peeked around the apple trees in search of white-winged angels with trumpets, but I saw only regular people. There were no angels helping us with the stamps either. In the end, we were three books short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpen the catalog,\u201d Grandmother said. \u201cLet\u2019s pick a bassinet we can afford.\u201d We chose one without a canopy and a limited layette. The next day we went to the Green Stamp store to get it. \u201cMaria will love this one just as much,\u201d Grandmother assured me as she pushed the door open. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/inspirational-prayers\/pray-for-blessings-from-disappointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I couldn\u2019t help but feel disappointed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Grandmother gave the clerk the information and handed over our stack of 17 books of stamps. The clerk walked to the back room and returned empty-handed. \u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d she said. \u201cIt looks like that item\u2019s been discontinued.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t believe it. No bassinet at all? I eyed the stack of Green Stamps books I\u2019d counted on. <em>Maybe <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/angels\/angel-encounters-and-sightings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">angels really do exist<\/a> only on Christmas cards.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re interested,\u201d the clerk said, \u201cwe do have another option.\u201d She opened the catalog. \u201cIt costs 20 books, but since the one you wanted isn\u2019t available\u2026\u201d I peeked over the counter to see that she was pointing at the very bassinet we had originally chosen!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow kind of you to offer this lovely replacement,\u201d Grandmother said, with a wink at me. We arranged for the bassinet to be sent straight to Maria\u2019s mother so it would be waiting when she and Tony arrived. Real angels had delivered for us all.<\/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\"><u><strong>Angels on Earth<\/strong><\/u><\/a><em> magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One summer evening when I was a little girl, I sat with my grandmother on her big front porch, listening to her stories about long-ago cotillions and balls.
