When the Saints Go Marching In

A teenage boy is lost at a Florida beach until a divine discovery guides him to his family.

Two whole weeks at a summer beach house in Florida–a teenager’s dream come true! One morning I woke up and the rest of my family had already gone down to the water.

I walked the winding path to the sand in search of them. I looked up and down the shoreline and set off in the direction I thought they’d gone.

Waves kissed my toes as I wandered along the wet sand. Finally I gave up and turned around. I walked and walked, then got worried. What if I missed the winding path back to our beach house? I didn’t even know the address! I fell on my knees. Help! I prayed through my tears.

I looked around again for somebody, anybody. Something sparkled in the sand. It was a small figurine with “St. Christopher” printed at its base. I held onto it, feeling a burst of courage. I glanced around again. That’s when I saw it, only a few feet away. The winding path that lead to our beach house.

Years later I learned that St. Christopher is known as the protector of travelers. I knew a powerful protector, my guardian angel, had placed him in my path.
