Angels at work here

This Sunday afternoon the most amazing and selfless thing happened. After celebrating Father’s Day at my brother’s house in Sherwood, I stopped at the Casey’s convenience store on Kiehl for some gas. I inserted my credit card at the pump as directed to get the premium fuel needed for my car. Then I put the card back in my wallet and laid it on my car’s fender. Stunned at the cost on the receipt, I headed back home.

Upon arrival I noticed I didn’t have my wallet on the console as usual. Trying to suppress panic setting in, I called the Casey’s store to ask if my wallet had been turned in. Hearing a “no,” I called my brother and his wife, who set out from their home nearby to look for said wallet. I anxiously waited until I got a possible discovery report back from my brother or his wife.

But no more than 15 minutes later there came a knocking on my door, and there was a young couple standing and asking if I’d lost my wallet. You have no idea how happy I was at that moment (or maybe you do if you’ve ever been in a similar circumstance). Gone were the fears of having to get a new driver’s license, insurance cards, and umpteen other kinds of identification, and much less canceling credit cards and … well, you know the drill.

I could have hugged and kissed them both, who told me their names were Royce and Madison. But of course, I didn’t, but I was so pleased I could have. They were so kind to have driven all the way to find me at the address listed on my driver’s license. They didn’t have to do that, but they went out of their way, taking their own time and gas to get my foolishly laid-on-the-fender wallet back to me. They refused to accept a reward and headed back to their home smiling as broadly as the moment I opened my door to them.

I hope someone will read this and let them know I sent to the Little Rock Compassion Center a $100 donation in their first names (sad to say, I didn’t catch their last name). I’ve always believed in a just God, and I’ve been reassured today that his angels are still
