Angels watching over me.

There are times that we are totally unaware that we are being protected by angels until well after the fact. Years ago my sone and I were visiting some friends: we lived in Florida at the the time. On the way home we were talking and listening to music on the radio. The drive home was approximately 20 minutes max. I suddenly realized I saw a street that I had never seen before and that it was a dirt road, that I didn't recall being there.
I realized I had missed my turn, but wasn't sure how far I had gone. The road I was on I knew ended at my road so I just continued to drive down instead of turning around to take the road I usually took. The road we usually took to get home was right beside a potatoe field with a streetlight at the end. I do recall seeing the potatoe field and the streetlight, however the road wasn't there.
When I got home I told my husband I somehow missed the turn. Wasn't a big deal it was just odd that the road had completely disappeared, it had become part of the potatoe field. Shortly after my son and I got home my husband was called out. (He was a fomicide detective at the time.) I didn't think much of it; I was used to him being called at all hours. My son got ready for bed, gave him a snack then tucked him into bed. I went about straightening up then I went to bed. I didn't expect to see my husband till the next morning or so.
When we talked the next day I found out that about the time I would've been ddriving down the road I missed my son and I would've been caught in the crossfire of a gun fight. God sent his angels to turn that road into part of the potatoe field so my son and I wouldn't get hurt or possibly killed. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
Angels watching over me my Lord, angels watching over me.

I believe that God looks out for us and protects us, sometimes in subtle ways and sometimes in dramatic ways like this. There are many times and incidences where people say "there but for the grace of God" is where I would have been. It is a special feeling to know that God has made sure that you were protected, that even your un prayed prayers have been answered and the needs you have not expressed have been fulfilled.

Yup! I agree with you that angel are many times mention there. But they are as call as our guardian or anything because bible mention those angels as messenger of God not guardian of every individual as many people belief...
If you study well the bible. Angel symbolize as the messengers of God...

I know, it's true but because it's not in the books, not many people will understand it and that's why they may call it confusion etc.
Good to know that you were lucky...
