My
husband and I had been attending the Church of the Way in Van Nuys California
for some time.
Looking
back, we think that was when a door must have been left open and our little
Andrea slipped out of the nursery unnoticed. She apparently made her way
outside to the sidewalk and walked between two parked cars and was about to
enter busy Van Nuys Boulevard when a man picked her up and brought her into the
church foyer.
He
presented her to an elder saying simply he found this little girl getting ready
to cross Van Nuys Blvd. The elder recognized Andrea and sent someone into the
church to get me.
When
I saw Andrea she was lying quietly in the arms of the elder. It wasn’t until
she saw me that she began to scream and cry.
Together,
the three of us went back to the nursery. Everyone there was upset that Andrea
had gotten out and relieved that she was safe.
The
man that had brought her in was gone and the elder said he hadn’t seen him
before. The odd thing was that Andrea didn’t go to men, not even to her father.
Her tendency would be to run from a man especially a stranger. But the elder
said she looked very peaceful in the man’s arm and she didn’t fuss when he took
her from him and cradled her.
Some
may call this luck but after people had calmed down the sentiment at the
nursery was that someone was looking out for Andrea and sent an angel to rescue
my little girl. I would not argue otherwise.
