Could they have been angels?

[LoricaLady]

Some decades ago I was walking through some downtown Cincinnati streets with my baby on a back carrier.

I saw a blind man and his blind wife getting off of a bus. As they stood there on the street some people would look at them curiously, but everybody just went on by to their busy activities.

But I was not in a hurry. I don’t remember what I said to the couple, but I did invite them to go with me on a stroll around downtown Cincinnati. The highlight was when we came to Fountain Square. That is a place that has big statues with streams of waters flowing from them to a pool below.

I had the couple place their hands over the statues as much as they wanted. After awhile I led them back to their bus stop.

I was watching a video recently about Angels, and something occurred to me. The couple had neither a cane nor a guide dog. On reflection, it seems kind of, well crazy, of them to land in downtown Cincinnati on a busy day with no dog and no cane and nobody to help them. Except me as it turned out.

Maybe they were just very brave and wacky people. Maybe the Lord told them to go there and that he would take care of them. Whatever. I’m just wondering if maybe they were angels as we are told that sometimes we entertain angels unaware.

Could be. . .

Someone who has the time and inclination to think of others is almost as rare as an angel.

That’s sweet of you.

Question - how do you know they were blind?

Interesting story. That fact that they could have been is biblically sound, as you stated. You never know.
