Lil Bit Saves Charlotte
By Nita Wilson
Lil Bit and some friends were
watching the sunset over Lake Michigan when they saw a fire start in a barn in
Chicago. Before they knew it, it had
spread all over the city. Thousands of guardian angels suddenly fluttered
and flew around the chaos saving their humans and helping the fire brigade trying to
extinguish the huge blaze. First one
building, then another caught the flames until every where Lil Bit looked there was
fire. She and her friends split up and began to look for something to
do to help, but there were so many guardian angels in their way, Lil Bit was pretty
much forced to step aside and let them do their jobs. She flew in and out of buildings looking for
people in trouble, but again, every where she went; the big beautiful angels were
doing their jobs. Some were saving
humans to live for another day and some were escorting their human’s home to
Heaven. She thought she heard her name
being called, but the sound of people screaming and calling for help
interrupted her; she stopped until she heard it again. It was Moon Beam.
“Lil Bit, the Lord has been calling you,
didn’t you hear him? He wants you home
quick.” Lil Bit flew to Jesus. He was sitting on the big grassy knoll
looking over his favorite grove of Pomegranate trees and eating one of the beautiful
red orbs as she landed, winded and nervous on his shoulder.
“Yes, sir? Did you want me?” She was still worried about the people on
earth and if he asked her to help she’d be ready, but surely he knew she was already
down there trying.
“Look down there. Do you see the little girl in the wheel chair
outside her father’s burning apartment dwelling?” She looked where he was pointing and sure enough,
his vision had created a portal of light directly to the little girl crying and
trying to get everyone’s attention. She
was reaching for people running in and out of the building as they tried to
save what they could. No one would stop
or pay attention to her and Lil Bit could see she was becoming hysterical.
“Judith, quiet, we are trying to get people
out of the building. Please be still until
I know everyone is safely out.” The papa
said to his little girl.
Jesus took Lil Bit in the palm of his
hand and brought her down to him.
“I believe she needs some help. You might go see what is upsetting her
so.” Jesus smiled and gently blew her into
the breeze that came from the open portal to earth. Within the wink of a birds eye Lil Bit was
hovering over the little girl trying to get her attention. Now it is well known children can see angels
when no one else can, and sure enough as the little girl looked up, her eyes
met Lil Bit and she began to cry again.
“Please get Charlotte. Charlotte is still in my room. She will be burned alive, please help
her.” Lil Bit winked at the little girl
and disappeared into the burning falling building and went straight to the
little girl’s apartment and into her room, but there was no one there. There was no animal, or bird or even a
fish. She was flying around the room
desperately searching for a living creature when she flew under the bed and saw
a doll languishing in its sad state among the cinders and dust bunnies burning
and rolling around the floor.
“Are you Charlotte?” She asked the rag tagged little doll with one
eye missing and half her hair gone from years of loving and being loved.
“Yes.” Managed the little doll with a whisper. Lil Bit grabbed the doll and started for the
door.
“There are more.” Charlotte whispered
to Lil Bit. Lil Bit looked around the
burning room; sure enough there was a fluffy flannel horse with his eyes fixed
on Lil Bit and a monkey made from socks with his arms outstretched to the saving
angel. Lil Bit grabbed the toys and
looked for more. Under the rocker was a
book of verse opened to a story of a little angel and in the corner of the room
alone and frightened was a cracked piggy bank with big sad eyes. She grabbed all and looked to Charlotte who
nodded her head.
“Yes, we are all she has.” Lil Bit got to the little girl as she was
being taken away from the chaos by her father.
She gently put the little girl’s treasures in her lap and kissed her on
the cheek.
“Make sure you say your prayers,
Judith. Heaven watches over you and you
should give thanks every night.” Lil Bit
hovered as Judith smiled and promised her she would always.
“Oh Charlotte, I was so worried about
you. Piggy, don’t be frightened, you’re
safe now.” The little girl gathered all
her worldly possessions in her arms and held them close.
Her father looked over the big straw
back of the second hand wheel chair and wondered how his little girl was able
to save her toys. He knew he would never
be able to replace them if they were burned, he barely had money enough to feed
him and his little girl; toys would not be a priority, but he needn’t worry,
Judith had saved them all by herself.
“Papa, did you see the angel? She saved all my friends.” Judith said to her father.
“Of course she did, my pet. Now you relax, and try to rest, this has been
a terrible night. We’re going to the
church for shelter and thank God sparing us.”
And that’s just what they did, but
Judith knew an angel saved her friends and one day when she was older she would
tell her papa and he would believe her.
Lil Bit went back to Jesus and reported
her findings.
“Yes, Judith has been through enough,
losing her friends would be too much of a hardship at this time. You’re a good child, Lil Bit.” He kissed her on her cheek and opened his hands
for her to fly away until she was needed again.
Lil Bit decided she had to find a way
to get Judith a real friend. Friends are
too important in a being’s life; no one should go without at least one.
