Hospital Story #1
« on: April 07, 2009, 07:31:45 PM »
Guys-

You know those moments in life when it just seems like something is more than coincidence? Something so simple, so easy to miss, that it almost doesn't seem real?

Check out this little story from the Hospital today:

My wife and i were in the gift shop just after my daughter was taken into surgery. We wanted to get her a balloon and a certain stuffed animal that she had pointed out while with me a couple of hours before.

So we headed for the balloons first. There was a huge mass of mylar balloons all tied together..... probably about three dozen of them. They had everything you can imagine on them...... Elmo, Get well Soon, Sponge Bob, etc..
We were just standing there sort of looking at them trying to decide which one to choose. After about a minute of looking, suddenly out of the middle of the pack, one broke free and started to rise toward the very high ceiling. As i grabbed the string I said to my wife, "Look! This one wants us to buy it." As I pulled it down she quietly said, "Look what it says".

There were three angels on the balloon and it said, "Smiling Angels Watching Over You".

Hmmmmm........ a nice message at a perfect time. Hmmm........

There are no coincidences !!  Beautiful story
