Angel with a red hat

I  was  scared  as  I  sat  in  the  coffee  shop. Tomorrow I would have spinal surgery. The risk  was  high,  but  my  faith  was  strong.  I prayed, "Oh, heavenly Father, in my time of trial, send me an angel."As I looked up, preparing to leave, I saw an elderly  lady  walking  very  slowly  to  the register.  I  stood  by  her,  admiring  her  flair for fashion -a bright paisley dress of red and purple,  a  scarf,  a  brooch,  and  a  brilliant scarlet  hat.  I  said,  "Excuse  me,  madam.  I just  must  say  what  a  beautiful  woman  you are."She friendly clasped my hand and said, "My child,  bless  you,  for  you  see,  I  have  an artificial  arm  and  a  plate  in  the  other,  and my  leg  is  not  my own.  It  takes  me  quite some time to get dressed. I do my best, but as years go by, people don't seem to think it matters.  You've  made  me  feel  so  special today.  May  the  Lord  watch  over  and  bless you." As she walked away, she had touched my soul in such away that I knew she could have only been the angel.
