a very blessed Christmas visit

[DADDIO]

i had a call on my cell phone yesterday, the sweetest voice asked how was i doing? and was i feeling ok? i said yes and asked who is this please, she said i'm one of your FB friends you gave me your number when i inboxed you last year, cause i wanted to come shop at your Christmas shop, but i wasn't able to make it. so i wanted to know if i could come out today and shop. i said please come on. she came out and was the sweetest lady she bought about 100.00 worth of items. and we were having a great visit. then she saw my angels. and tears wailed up in her eyes, and she told us that she had just lost her 38 year old son on thanksgiving day and all she had done was decorate her house with angels this year. i have carved and given away a pile of these this year to the doctors and nurses and radiation team that have treated me this past year. and to alot of people that have held us up in prayer and helped us.i finally sat down the other night and carved the last two i was going to do to give my daughters for a present.....but something kept pressing me and i carved three..i had one extra....we believe in God and divine intervention, i told the lady i don't believe you were suppose to come last year, i think this year was the year you were suppose to come, because last year i wasn't caving angels and i wouldn't have had an extra one. but this year i just happen to be carving angels and at the last minute i was moved to carve one more. and i gave her the third angel..tears flowed from mine and my wife and her as well she just kept hugging me and saying how much this meant to her....this is what Christmas is all about we felt so blessed to have been apart of this and to have met such a wonderful lady. our love and prayers are with her and much love to you all ..Merry Christmas.

Thanks for sharing the story. It brought a tear to my eye as well. It was meant to be.

You are truly a blessed person. The Lord works in ways we are not meant to know but we do find out as you did.

As you found out and told her you were meant to carve that extra angel, she was to wait to come see you and you did what God wanted you to do.

Merry Christmas. Keep this memory alive and you will have blessing through out your whole life.

thank you all so much we felt very blessed to have been apart of this. the angels have brought so much happiness. i did seven weeks of radiation after surgery, i had such amazing doctors ,nurses and specialist working with me on my last day of radiation i had brought a box of these angels and left them with all the different ones that had helped so much.the young ladies that were radiation therapist before i gave them their angels had fixed me up a special package and they just cried and hugged me they had been a huge help, then i gave them their angels and we all just cried...as i was leaving the nurse that i usually saw when i signed in came running after me ,i hadn't seen her that morning but left an angel there for her, she said you didn't know this but i lost my baby girl when she was 2 and i collect angels and she grabbed me up and hugged me super tight and crying and thanking me......these are so simple to carve but they have sure touched quite a few people and really been a blessing to me.
