A True Story from a Conversation at Church

On an icy road two women skidded and found themselves in a car, the front wheels hanging  on a cable. It was impossible for them to lift the car. Before I-phones, they decided to stand there until help came. After a time, a man offered to help and managed to lift the car enough to free the front wheels. Soon the ladies would be on their way. Before they could properly thank the man and get his name, he was gone. Looking around, they noticed there were no footprints to explain in which direction he had left. There was only one explanation: divine intervention. In relating this story, the woman claimed the man who helped was an angel.
