I got a map from 7-11 which I used to chart my path. But I also took unplanned detours due to which I had to stop frequently and consult the map to realize where I had landed. Once, after taking a turn too many, I halted near a bench, laid down my cycle and tried to find my position on the map. I was turning it round and round, muttering to myself and looking all over Creation when I heard a female voice saying, “Do you need help?”
I looked up to see a tall Danish beauty looking down at me. I don’t like to be looked down, so drew myself to full height but that did not remedy the situation. I was torn between thanking Him for sending an angel and considering standing on the bench when she repeated, “Do you need help?”
I said. “Definitely, but how did you figure that out?”
“You don’t look like you are from here, you have been looking at the map and around since last ninety seconds. I have been watching you with amusement.”
She flashed her pearls and I was thinking, wow, I must really suck at reading maps!
“Yes, I would like to go to Norreport station but I have lost my way.”
“No, you haven’t, not with me around. You are just a kilometre and half away from Norreport station. Just follow this way and take the first right. Do you get it?”
“Ja, I do. Take the first right after following this way.”
“Excellent! Have a nice day!”
“You too, have a nice day. Thank you for the help.”
With a wave, the angel left and I did both.
I stood on the bench and thanked Him.
