FROM GUIDEPOSTS' ANGELS ON EARTH 7-12
ANGELSAURUS REX
Eight was an important Birthday, I took my grandson Brennan to the Dollar General to pick something out.
"Okay, Pawpy" he said, and ran
off to check out the merchandise. A few minutes later, he returned with a toy in tow. Not just any toy---a four-foot-tall stuffed Tyannosaurus Rex. It was bigger than he was. Another customer laughed to see him carry it.
"This is what I want, Pawpy!" he said. He loved dinosaurs.
"Let me check the price tag" I said. Just as I feared, it was way too much for my fixed income. Brennan picked something less expensive. As we walked out to the car, I heard hurried footsteps behind us.
"Stop!"
It was the customer from the store. She was carrying the T-Rex. "Happy birthday" she said and handed to a grinning almost eight year old.
Brennan hugged his new T-Rex all the way home and I was thankful that Angels aren't extinct.
