“Hello this picture is simply a representation so as to give you a general idea”

My Earth angel wasn’t the famous Langston hughes however,their name was exactly that, “Langston” for privacy reasons i won’t disclose whether or not, that person is male or female.

Here’s one type of “Angel”

Here’s more like the “Angel” I’m going to be Writing about today.

This story I’m going to be Writing is moreless, a “Tribute”, to someone who I feel is one of my, “Earth Angels”. I say one because, during my lifetime so far I’ve had a few. I believe that the Lord sends his followers Angels, helpers when they’re needed the most. The majority of my Stories are written, with my head, then there are the ones like this one, that’s written from my heart.

I realized today how very powerful, words are. Think about it for a moment, one “Word” can cause a war between two nation’s,and yet at the same time ,another “Word”, can end that very war. Then there are words that can uplift someone,and then there are words that can, destroy a person.

Have you ever heard the term “The pen is mightier, than the Sword” ? That is actually a fact. You see being struck with a “Sword”, it has a immediate affect, also it’s affect cannot involve nearly as many people, whereas a “Letter or verbal word can be around for years to come.

You get the idea of what I’m trying to say to you here. I began writing at least 15 plus years ago, I started writing because it comes so natural for me, I have lots of ideas, stories in my head, and heart too. I thought I should share my creativity with, whomever wants to read my stories.

However every now and then, I get a chance to write something, very important that will affect someone’s life who I have come across for whatever reason. I have been truly touched by this “Person”, I’ve only had the opportunity to meet twice. However in those 2 times I realize that, our meeting was anything “But”, a coincidence. It was destiny.

You see I had a serious financial problem that needed to be solved and I had been corresponding back and forth by mail and telephone. This institution, was in another city so I had to “rely on the person on the other end of my conversation, to help me get my finances on track. It was a painstaking process to say the least.

However, I was referred to someone with the name “Langston” which is very unique, but at the same time, it’s the name that the famous “poet and Activist” had during his time here on earth. So it stood out. As I said I was referred to this person and was able to, get my case headed in the proper direction. I needed this matter handled like, “Yesterday” because I was steady falling behind on all of my “Bills,”accounts. I literally had no access to my income until this matter was taken care of.

So “Langston”, got the ball rolling however, I had to deal with another department on the matter and that department, somehow managed to simply have my finances in “Limbo”. After all the paperwork and phone conversations,and letters were received, I was literally awaiting for my “Payments to begin”. I waited, and waited and nothing happened.

I began the phone calls, no one seemed to “Know” why my payments hadn’t started showing up. I literally had to get loans, borrow money to do something as basic as, having gas for my car to get around in. It was humbling, and humiliating. also, im a very independent person, so it was a difficult time for me. That experience taught me a lot about myself, and others as well. I believe that all experiences, good and bad are “Positive” because, we learn from them.

Finally I called and I was at my wit’s end when, a familiar voice came on the phone,“it was Langston” !! Right away I knew thing’s would be alright. This person told me to let them call me back later in that day and, they would have the answers to my questions. I thanked them and hung up.! About 2 hours had gone by, I felt like I needed to “Pray on this matter”, so as I began to “Pray”, my phone rang and it was “Langston”.

Immediately I knew it was going to be alright, because, it was no coincidence that, as I began to “Pray” this person called my phone. Langston told me exactly what had happened and that, they had fixed the problem and, within 24 hours I would receive a “Check” and that I would receive all of the “Back pay”, owed to me for having had to wait so long, due to someone’s “Oversight, mix up” .I thanked Langston, and said, “I write online and i want to write a “Tribute” to you because, I feel as though you were my “Earth Angel”. Of course for “Privacy reasons”, I can’t reveal exactly who this person is however, That person knows that I’m writing about them of course.

I feel as though I can write stories simply for everyone’s reading “Entertainment”, I should be able to write a “Thank you”, when I feel it’s necessary as well.

So “Thank you again”, Langston” I appreciate you, I know that you put extra time and effort into helping to “ Resolve my problem”. and I know it wasn’t coincidental, that my call was “Routed”, to you on those 2 occasions.i feel as though you were a “Blessing from the Lord”. You help people in a very important way on a daily basis, and you’re also nice to them, these days that’s rare so one takes notice.

All too often we take people’s help and kindness for granted, you could’ve told me to, “Wait, the check is in the mail” , but you didn’t.

“God bless you” and your family and keep you all safe, during this uncertain time the “World is having”.

Needless to say, everything Langston said happened exactly, how and when they said it would. Of course, I never doubted that it would.
