Guardian angels helped when car broke down

My car broke down on Highway 151 and 44th Street in Marion while I was at a stoplight.
Drivers were angry and honking their horns. I was scared and afraid someone would hit me. I started praying. The next thing I knew a man came up to me to tell me he was going to push me to the side of the road.
He checked my car but could not find anything wrong. Suddenly, another man came to us. He asked for my insurance card. The other man called my insurance company. They called the tow truck and paid the bill.
Then my guardian angels, Jonathan Ross and his wife, Liz, followed the tow truck to my mechanic. Then Jonathan took me home.
The appreciation I feel for these strangers is fantastic. I am so grateful God sent Jonathan and Liz Ross and Justin Rieken to save me from an accident and take care of me so wonderfully. I pray the kindness they gave me comes back to them tenfold.
Thank you, Jonathan and Liz Ross, and Justin Rieken. You are God's angels and I shall remember you for the rest of my life.
