Lost, and Found
This story comes from Barnsley, just north of Sheffield.

Harry and Marie are a great couple. Harry only came to faith about 6 years ago and is now retired and on fire! Marie has started a women's renewal meeting in the area called Aglow. She was returning from a national gathering of Aglow with friend Angela.

Angela takes up the story:


We were returning home in the dark at about 7:00pm. It was a dark and cold night when Marie and another friend who were in the care 'felt' we should go a different way home. So as I was driving I duly responded and we took a left instead of going straight on.
Not far down the road was a woman, clearly somewhat distressed and walking in the middle of the road. I pulled the car over and got out.
As I approached I recognised this lady as a former work colleague. She was clearly frightened but she knew who I was. We talked for a while and eventfully I got to pray for her. She calmed down and allowed us to take her home.
It turned out the she had an argument with her husband earlier, and was recovering from a breakdown 2 years earlier.
This night something had snapped and she did not even know how she got outside, away from home, in the middle of the road where they had found her.


The little rescue was an eye opener for this lady's husband. He has no contact with church but knew Angela, Marie and their friend loved God.

"I guess you think you were meant to be there." he said

"I know I was meant to be there." said Angela confidently,

so the husband responded with a question:

"Sooo......how come you came to be there?"

Later Angela reflected that there was nil chance of her being in that area at that time of night normally.
You know the rest....
