An Angel Watching Over Us (Yes, I believe in them!)

I remember seeing this adorable flower girl in a wedding we covered, and I would always think about her whenever I thought about angels. A couple of days ago, my wife fetched me for lunch. She was driving, and as we crossed an intersection, I wondered why she stopped right there at the middle (although there was a blind spot on the right side). A few seconds passed, and as I saw no cars passing, I wondered why she didn't want to step on the gas pedal. As she slowly let go of the brakes, a speeding...yes a freaking blazing motorcycle passed by in front of us without any signs of stopping in any case another car(in this case, us) was in front of him. My wife stepped on the brake, and we were just so numbed by the incident to say the least. Even the people standing on the sidewalks were shouting at the careless act that they witnessed. While crossing the street, my wife and I made the sign of the cross and started to recall what had just happened. At worst, the motorcycle driver would have been killed and his impact would've probably killed me as well (him coming towards the passenger side of the car). We said a little prayer and thanked our angel who was there to watch over us that day. So even at our mature age, we still pray to our angels. Nothing wrong with having extra protection these days. Happy Friday, everyone!
