     I finished my last evening shift of the week and could hardly wait to get home. I took off my nursing

shoes, relaxed and then said goodnight to the rest of the girls and headed out of the door.

     It was so cold and I could see the ice crystals in the air. As I approached my car, I saw one of my

coworkers standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a

ride home, and besides, it was too cold to be standing outside on the coldest night in January.

     We chatted as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at her house. As she headed up the steps

to her door she turned around. "Do you know how to get to your house from here?" "How hard can it

be? I'll just backtrack the way I came."

     I started driving. Nothing looked familiar, but at first that didn't bother me since I'd never been to this

neighborhood before. I kept driving, and soon I sensed that something was wrong. I recognized nothing,

not the neighborhoods, not even the street names. My husband would be worried about me. I looked

down at my watch. It was now 2:30. I'd left work at 11:30 pm.

     I stopped my car. I thought I'd better take stock of my situation. My gas gauge (汽油量表) was

slowly going down. In total defeat I put my head down on the steering wheel and asked for help. I lifted

my head. I saw a shadow down the road in front of me. It was a car. What was a car doing in the middle

of nowhere at 2:30 in the morning?

     Hesitantly, I got out of my car and knocked on the window of the other car. An elderly man slowly

rolled his window down.

      I said, "I'm lost and don't know how to get back into town."

     In silence, he started driving. I drove behind him.

     Finally I recognized a familiar street. As I turned to head home, I lost sight of my guiding angel. When

I pulled into my driveway the warning light for my gas tank turned on.
