> Diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.
> She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed
> quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past
> year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to
> walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she
lived only a few blocks away.
> As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her
safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut
to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she
noticeda man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She
became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a
comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt
as though someone was walking with her.
> When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and
arrived home safely.
> The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been
raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been
her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this
young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could
recognize the man, so she told them her Story. The police asked her if she w
ould be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She
agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the
night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately
broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and
asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would
ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked
her.
> When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She
had two tall men walking on either side of her." Moral of the story.. Don't
underestimate the power of Prayer!
> Gives ya goose bumps doesn't it! This is to all of you who mean something
to me. I pray for your happiness. The Candle Of Love, Hope & Friendship
