THIS IS A REALLY COOL STORYAND NOTICE AT THE END THEDATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED.angels have walked beside me all my life--and they still do.A young university student was home for the summer.She had gone to visit some friendsone evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.She ended up staying longer thanplanned, and had to walk home alone.She wasn't afraid because it was asmall town and she lived only a few blocks away.As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked"God" to keep her safe fromharm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house,she decided to take it.However, halfway down the alleyshe noticed a man standing atthe end as though he was waiting for her.She became uneasy and beganto pray, asking for "God's" protection.Instantly a comforting feelingof quietness and security wrapped aroundher, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end ofthe alley, she walked right pastthe man and arrived home safely.The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alleyjust twenty minutes after shehad been there.Feeling overwhelmed by thistragedy and the fact that itcould have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safetyand to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognizethe man, so she told them her story.The police asked her if she wouldbe willing to look at a lineup tosee if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she hadseen in the alley the night before.When the man was told hehad been identified, he immediatelybroke down and confessed.The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would askthe man one question?Diane was curious as to whyhe had not attacked her.When the policemanasked him, he answered, Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall menwalking on either side of her."Moral of the story:Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!Gives ya goose bumps, doesn't it!This is to all of you whomean something to me,I pray for your happiness.
