I promised myself I would never 'again in my entire life pick up a hitchhiker. But in spite of this vow, a few weeks after that frightful Christmas Eve, while driving to work, with the usual morning in my heart, asking for S' rayer le safety of all my brothers and sisters and loved ones, I felt a .strong desire to pray for not .only my own friends and family but for anyone in the world who .might be in trouble. Little did I realize I was destined to witness the rescue of one of those strangers in distress that very night, on the way home from work. i; Before the day was through, it was obvious, the fog was settling in again, just like it had 'done a few weeks before. I tried 16 get out of there as soon as possible before it got a good hold. But by the time I reached the highway and was headed toward Huntington it had settled iii good. As I was feeling my way 'through the dense gray mist, I Rooked up the road a spell and saw the shadow of a person in the distance ahead. I said out .loud to myself, Oh my word! That is a girl out there! I drove closer and rolled down my window. The girl jwalked up to the car and peered through. I said, Rebecca! What are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere all by yourself?" Her blank puzzled stare assured me she wasnt who I thought she was, but a beautiful, young girl who didnt recognize me. Except for that I would have sworn 1 knew her. She was an exact image of my teenage niece, Rebecca. Oh, youre not Rebecca, but get in here and get warm. What happened to you? She seemed half frozen and scared stiff. It was hard for her to respond or perhaps it was because she was afraid if she talked, she might cry. She finally managed to answer, My pickup stalled back there, and I cant get it started. Where do you live?" I Cleveland Elementary dren again." Well, you will. Somebody up there must like you pretty good. Christmas is my favorite tilne of the year because we get to open presents, you get to wrap I told her. How did I know the shadow I saw through the fog way up ahead was a girl? I didnt see the presents and you get to see Santa Claus. Now this story all start s when I saw Santa Claus putting presents under my tree when I was heading to my moms and dads room. He was wearing purple trousers instead of red and green. I ran outside, and get this, he traded in his reindeer for a limousine!!! I ran back inside as quick as I could and went to stalled pickup which wouldve had to be closer to me than she was. How did I see that far away, when no one could see me, even up close that night a few weeks before. How did I find my way to her house and back home through the fog? How did Bill see me that foggy Christmas Eve when no one else could? I think I believe in angels. are you I awake back get me."
