I knew the car was going to hit me so I gave in to the inevitable and braced for impact…

It was the busy season in the tiny port town where I lived at that point in my life and getting to the one and only grocery store on the main street proved to be a difficult task this time of year.

Today, however, I was left with no choice in the matter as I needed a few essential food supplies and in my present state of mind, traveling twenty minutes to get to another city to make the purchase, was just a precious waste of time.

I cautiously approached the intersection of the main street and contemplated my dilemma.

If I turned right the road would take me out of the area; if I turned left then I would arrive at the grocery store which was on the route to the beach. There were so many cars parked on the street that day that I knew it was going to be a challenge.

The cars were also parked up to the corner blocking any driver’s view making the turn onto the main thoroughfare completely unsafe no matter which way you looked at it. I was more than a little annoyed at this fact because I thought there was some kind of law prohibiting parking this close to a street corner.

The only way to take the journey was to creep slowly forward, then gun the car to make the turn and hope and pray that nobody was coming. I followed that maneuver.

Unfortunately, the minute I made that move another car was driving up from the beach and arrived in the exact same spot at the moment that I completed the turn.

I sped up to avoid the collision but at the rate the other driver was traveling I knew I was not going to get clear of the vehicle in time so I reluctantly gave in and accepted what was about to happen.

It was at that instant another miracle was about to take place and I was not going to be the only witness to this magical event.

It happened in an instant!

Instead of plowing into me broad sided, the other car never hit me at all! It seemed to pass right through me! I was left stunned.

Immediately after I regained my composure I looked into the rear view mirror to see where that automobile had disappeared to.

It was now travelling in the opposite direction away from me and the female owner of the small sedan, who was obviously in a similar state of shock over the mysterious phenomenon that had just occurred, was also glancing into her reflective glass in a dazed state of confusion.

Shakily, I made it safely to my destination. Before I entered the store I did what I always do during one of these lifesaving incidents and that was to give thanks to my Heavenly Caretaker for watching over me.

I sincerely hope I will run into that lady again during my life’s journey and get her intake on the day our Guardian Angels met to protect us so we could both live to spread the word about the magic that happens when Angels collide.
