I finished my last evening shift of the week and could hardly wait to get home. I took off my nursing shoes, relaxed and then said goodnight to the rest of the girls and headed out of the door.

It was so cold and I could see the ice crystals in the air. As I approached my car, I saw one of my coworkers standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and besides, it was too cold to be standing outside on the coldest night in January.

We chatted as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at her house. As she headed up the steps to her door she turned around. “Do you know how to get to your house from here?” “How hard can it be? I’ll just backtrack the way I came.”

I started driving. Nothing looked familiar, but at first that didn’t bother me since I’d never been to this neighborhood before. I kept driving, and soon I sensed that something was wrong. I recognized nothing, not the neighborhoods, not even the street names. My husband would be worried about me. I looked down at my watch. It was now 2:30. I’d left work at 11:30 pm.

I stopped my car. I thought I’d better take stock of my situation. My gas gauge (汽油量表) was slowly going down. In total defeat I put my head down on the steering wheel and asked for help. I lifted my head. I saw a shadow down the road in front of me. It was a car. What was a car doing in the middle of nowhere at 2:30 in the morning?

Hesitantly, I got out of my car and knocked on the window of the other car. An elderly man slowly rolled his window down.

I said, “I’m lost and don’t know how to get back into town.”

In silence, he started driving. I drove behind him.

Finally I recognized a familiar street. As I turned to head home, I lost sight of my guiding angel. When I pulled into my driveway the warning light for my gas tank turned on.

From time to time I travel to town for some shopping. One Saturday it was Adam’s turn to accompany me. As we left he promised his two brothers, he would return with candy(糖果) they all had a great fondness of.

Adam, 7, is  a curious boy who never lacks for questions. As we drove, he asked about a gray building to our left. “What is that, daddy?” “It’s a church, honey. People go where to pray.” “What do they pray for?” “Well,they ask God help them?” “I guess the could give them food but God tends to use other people to help hungry people.”

After parking at the corner, we walked toward the store. Adam had falled silent. He was looking at an old man begging by the store entrance.

“Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar from my pocket handing it to Adam.

Inside the store, I kept Adam in sight  as I picked up some vegetables we needed. Adam stared wide-eyed,gently touching the packaged treasures excitedly.

Just as we left the checkout stand, Adam walked straight to the beggar holding out his priceless treasure. “This is from God,” Adam said softly. The old man looked up at Adam through his gray tired eyes and said, “Thank you, Lord.”

I hugged Adam saying, “That was thoughtful, Adam.”

“That certainly was,” confirmed(确认) a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man’s hat. “May I ?”she asked as she bent over to kiss Adam’s cheek. I nodded and smiled.

We walked towards the corner. Behind us a small group of people had gathered around the man placing money in his hat.
