The Angel and the Demon were sitting at a corner

No this is not the beginning of some lame joke. Last week I had an experience that I just cant get out of my head. It keeps tossing around inside me like a load of dirty laundry stuck in the spin cycle of my washing machine of a brain. I was heading over to Byron Center to pick up Iris and Lily after a long day of work in Midland and Mount Pleasant Michigan. As I approached the corner of 76th st and Clyde Park I saw in the distance a man with a sign in his hand. As I got closer I saw that the sign was asking for help to feed his family. Unfortunately for me the light turned red. As I began slowing down to a stop I saw the man set down his sign and begin to walk toward the Family Fare Quick Stop across the street. A well dressed lady was standing there calling and motioning him to come over. She had a grocery bag in her hands and I assume she was going to give it to him. The light stayed red long enough for me to watch what was happening. Of course I thought to myself what a good deed that lady was doing. I started thinking what I might have done if this lady wouldn't have bailed me out. Would Dan the deacon at his church actually helped this guy out? I probably would have sat at the corner trying not to make eye contact with him and then quickly sped away to get home to make dinner. It sure seemed that God was purposely keeping this light red long enough so I could sit and observe and start thinking about what was going on. I remember looking down at the floor of my car and seeing the subway sandwich wrapper from the 12" sub I had previously eaten. I wasn't hungry enough to eat the whole thing but a $5 foot long was a better deal then getting a 6 inch. I ate it anyway. I remember while driving home I was wondering about what I was going to cook for dinner that night. I also heard a few radio promos for places to drop off a frozen turkey's to donate for Thanksgiving and thinking how cool that is. Of course I didn't do that either even though I was planning on stopping at the grocery store on the way home. I guess I felt guilty enough at the time not to stop. to pick up groceries but to go home and cook with what we had available. For over a week now the would haves, should haves and could haves have filled my brain. That experience of a week ago is still playing over again in my brain. That afternoon I saw a Angel at work helping out a person in need. I also saw a demon at work. He was in my rear view mirror as I checked traffic to drive away. I think its kind of ironic how this event happened over a week ago and I finally have time to sit and write about it on Thanksgiving morning.
