A
Night in the Hay! Margarete Mizera
It
was a close hot summer Saturday evening in the Austrian
Styrian mountains. Margarete Mizera and her husband had just
completed a 7 hour hike and were looking for a bed and
something to eat. But, the little village of St. Oswald had nothing
to offer. Every room had been taken, and, with a storm coming on,
Margarete Mizera and her husband were beginning to worry. A night in
the cold and the wet was not something they wanted.
But
then, Margarete Mizera had an idea. There was still one door left to
knock on and that was the police station. Maybe, they could spend
the night in a cell? And so, they knocked on the door. And, the
policeman was an Angel. His cell was out of the question, but, he
knew something better. And so, after a very short phone call,
Margarete Mizera and her husband were being driven by the very
friendly policeman to a farm that wasn't far away.
And,
the farmer was their second Angel of the evening. He had no rooms to
offer, all had been taken. But, what he could give them was not just
a night in his barn in the hay, but an evening meal as
well. And, they were thankful and accepted.
And,
as Margarete and her husband lay wearily down in the hay, they
could hear from outside the rain and the storm in all its great fury.
They were dry, warm, and safe. And, as they peacefully dreamed,
the morning gradually came; and with it another surprise.
The
farmer and his wife had not only prepared a very good breakfast, but
refused payment as well. And so it was, that Margarete Mizera and
her husband went on their way with hearts full of thanks.
And,
that's why the policeman and his very good friend will never be
forgotten. Two Angels who saved Margarete Mizera and her husband from
a night in the cold and the wet. And all, a long time ago!
