As I headed toward Eagle Lake, I saw this blue car pass me, make a U-turn and come back towards me. The lady driver asked if I was walking for a cause, and I shouted back my answer across two lanes of highway.  A couple of hours later, I saw her pass by me again headed back towards Houston. She blew her horn and I waved in acknowledgement. Then a few seconds later, I heard a car slowing behind me. I looked, and it was the blue car again!

She stopped to ask if I was okay. She said, “We passed you a while ago when we were on our way to Eagle Lake and you’re still walking. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay and to see if you needed anything.”

Thanking her for her concern, I was able to explain more in depth the purpose and mission for the Walk. She loved the idea as did her mother who sat in the passenger seat. While she admired my efforts, she expressed further concern for my safety. I told her, “I would be concerned too had this walk not been a vision directly from God. Since He gave it to me and asked me to complete it, I trust that He will provide for my safety. He does so by people like you who I like to call my Angels on the Road. People who stop, ask if I am okay, and if I need anything. I have no doubt that He will always send people like you my throughout these next two years.”

Kim found my choice of words interesting because she works for Angels on Earth Home Health Care in Houston. She said that the founder of the business wanted to do something to help the elderly and provide for their needs with dignity and compassion. Kim and her mother offered a few more words of wisdom and encouragement along with a combined $10 donation.

Cheers to you Kim, Marion, and Angels on Earth Home Health Care!
