Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I had to work last night (Valentine's Day) and two winter storms converged on us creating quite a blizzard. There was a parking ban so I had to leave my car at work to keep it off the street. I was ready to stay the night thinking the next shift wouldn't be able to get in, but only med techs were needed, so I was free to leave. I called every cab company listed in the phone book, none were answering. After about an hour of trying it didn't look like I was going to get home after all. Around midnight, out of the corner of my eye, I saw another staff person leaving (she didn't have a car). I called to her and asked her how she was getting home and she said she called a cab. I asked if I could share the cab with her, " of course! " She had stayed on the line of a cab company 45 minutes, letting it ring til they finally answered. I gathered everything together, and as we were waiting at the door for the cab her sister called and said she would be there to pick her up in 10 minutes. Then the cab pulled up and she said, " The cab was meant for you after all. " A chill went through me as I realized the unseen help that was present to get me home. I just want to publicly acknowledge that help and express the gratitude. I am profoundly touched by it. Thank you all for being there to share this with.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Dhyana, Thank you so much for sharing that with us! I am so happy that you made it home okay! Fortunately and unfortunately, I won't have to worry about that type of situation being down here in Florida, but I have been in situations like that in the past. I have three other sisters that have had similar experiences with the unpredictability of weather. Stay safe and warm! I am so GRATEFUL for the gift of the cab for you! I just can't express the feeling I got just from reading your post. Even though it isn't exactly warm here, it is much warmer than where you are and so I will send warm thoughts to you! Once again I want to say I am gracious that you were able to get home safe, and please pass to your coworker my thanks for helping a friend in need. Take care Dhyana. Many blessings to you!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Wow !I know exactly what you mean.I went somewhere to run an errand in Dec,06 and there were 4 long lines and the receptionist told me to go stand in one of the lines.Someone comes out and asks for everyone's papers and tells everyone except me to move to another line.I was the first and only person in the line and the woman at the window asked me what happened to all the other people before me.I told her they were in the wrong line and she looked at me strange.Unseen forces at work.I could have stayed in that line for at least 30-40 min but I got help.he,he,he !that line was only meant only for me.Lol.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 This is all wonder-ful to hear! I love the validation of it all. My latest story is that I saw a chicken recipe in the newspaper to be cooked in a tirine (Moroccan earthenware thing with the top cone shaped) and I have always been interested in the tirines so looked on ebay for one, got to one site that seemed to have many interesting things and saw figurines for sale from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. I thought, humm, they are so cool and bizzare, I bet my nephew (who will be 28 on Sunday and may be coming for a birthday dinner) might like one for a present. I called him, H. Bosch is one of his favorite artists (nephew goes to an Art Academy in San Francisco) and he was blown away at the idea of having a figurine and never even heard they were ever made. (This seller has a few he brought from Europe) So, that was a very fun way to get the perfect gift for my Nephew who was even more blown away by the story. (And will look for the tirine for myself some other time) In gratefulness, Sherri -- The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than rule-Albert Einstein -------------- Original message -------------- Leshya <pleiades69 See...you're being looked over lisa novalees wrote: > > I had to work last night (Valentine's Day) and two winter storms > converged on us creating quite a blizzard.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Wow, guys... You have blown me away with all your responses. Thank you. The second part of the story was the hair raising ride home, in which I kept my eyes closed most of the way! The angel that drove knew his way around snow and enjoyed the challenge. I felt very safe, just didn't want to see what he was dealing with. Needless to say, he received a very large tip! Thank you again for all the wonderful responses, it was very heart warming. Hugz to all. Love, dhyana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi dhyana That is great. Isn't it wonderful how things work to help us sometimes.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hello Stephen. So glad you are here with us. Big Hug. Thank you, it IS wonderful when we get to glimpse the care and attentiveness that surrounds us. I usually see it when I ask for it, but this time I forgot to ask and there it was anyway. It always melts my heart and fills me with such deep gratitude that we are cared about and looked after in such a knowing way. So good hearing from you.
