He sniffed from the terrible and annoying pollen grains that were set free into the air that morning as he paced down the road trying to catch the first train to his interview location.The cold wind hitting blindly into his face wasn't near enough to slow him down.He increased his pace as he crossed the T-junction downtown Chicago.
The past few weeks had been full of spiritual zeal for Duke.A young man,quite good looking for his age if you would ask the opposite sex,he beleieved what he didn't fear would never hurt him.He was motivated by faith,touched by the unknown and the fear of only tomorrow made him struggle relentlessly in this unfair world.
Now at the train station,he bought out the few nickels he had in his pocket to see if their sum would be enough to let him pay for a round trip.They weren't enough.This was where his passion for success came into play;nothing was going to stop him from getting to his interview.Not minding his financial disability at the time,he got on the train staying positive and hoping a miracle would happen.Well,a miracle did happen,the conductor let him off at the next station!
So back on the streets he was,trying to figure out his next move.He turned to the crowd,gazed into the thin air but no ideas yet.The simple fact was that he didn't have enough money so going back home was inevitable.
He finally decided,he would get a one way ticket and walk the rest of the distance.Not a good idea but okay.
Just as he came up with this thought,a random elderly man walked up to him,his words were "Looks,like you could use some change??...and handed Duke some money".He gladly accepted the money and thanked the old man.The man disappeared into the crowd.Duke made it to his interview.The question,an angel or what?

If you ask me, that man was undoubtedly an angel because angels appear to souls like Duke during the "darkest" hours. I've learnt that angels are a true manifestation of God himself. Coincidence isn't a word in my vocabulary; thus this happening was no coincidence.
ReplyDeleteIf Duke was a friend of mine, I would advise him to keep blessing-it-forward and take the financial "hitch" to the Lord, in prayer. He never forgot Job; he's not about to forget Duke.
