“Angel Unexpected” Blog #221

Do I believe in Angels?

Has my life been tested to show me they exist?

Are there many angel stories out there to believe in?

Immediately on thinking about this, I started doing my own research and came up with

some amazing information. Graham Tomlin is the Editor in Chief of Seen and Unseen and

the former Bishop of Kennsington. He wrote about deciding to talk about angels and how

many people had shared their true stories with him. He shared a remarkable story about

a soldier friend of his in the Army. The soldier was on a steep climbing expedition in Mount

Kenya. One of his team members had fallen to his death from a sheer rock face. Now, he

himself, was stuck on the ledge, unable to move up or down. He became paralyzed with

fear and frustration. He was in an inaccessible part of the world where they had seen no

one for days. His friend had been on this mountain where he and his friend were the only

group present. Then suddenly a climber appeared out of nowhere. The climber moved

onto the ledge where his friend was standing. Then the climber tied a rope tightly, into his

friends harness, lowering him down the rock face very slowly, finally they reached the

bottom safely. Instantly his friend looked over and the climber had literally disappeared

up the face of the mountain, never to be seen again. Over 70% of all the people in the U.S.

believe in Angels. Many of these people have shared some unbelievable stories.

I believe “seeing” an angel, gives a person a change of heart. Now they have the chance

to “see for themself” the unseen world that really DOES exist. Angels turn up when there is

something URGENT to be aware of. What would be really important to be aware of? That

angels are life-changing. A being becomes changed from disenchanted, unbelieving,

unaccepting to completely awakened in a breath! An angel experience is extraordinary,

out of this world, and never to be forgotten.

Perfect timing to reflect back on something I have always believed in. I am convinced

every one of us has a Guardian Angel. We were given our Guardian Angel when we were

born and they stay right with us to help watch over us all through our life. If a person

wants to know the name of their own Guardian Angel, they have only to sit quietly with

closed eyes and ask internally, “what is my Guardian Angels name?” Very quietly the

name will be presented. Years ago I was going through a lot of pain fear and heartache.

I will say there were a lot of times I just plain felt sorry for myself. One day a friend of mine

wanted to give me a little gift and got me tickets to see a powerful and renowned

speaker who had come to town. I went early because I knew there would be thousands of

people attending. Even so, I was hardly able to find a seat. When it came time for

intermission, I decided I would just leave because my own schedule was packed with

appointments. Before I left, I happened to come face to face with a complete stranger.

Yet, he reached his hand out and smiled stating, “I hope you are enjoying yourself tonight

as much as I am.” I felt immediately torn and because I hesitated in answering him, he

went on. “You know, life comes and goes and we encounter so many life lessons along

the way. I for one, lost my wife and four daughters in our house fire. Yet, as much as I

miss them, I am so thankful for the lessons I have been given to learn from what

happened. Now you have a nice evening.”

“WHAT?” I thought. How could this gentle man come out of a crowd and talk to me so

randomly about dealing with grief, he did not know what happened tome. Yet, in an

instant his words were powerful. I felt a calm settle over me in such an angelic way! His

attitude and confidence and words were instantly healing. I wished he would have stayed

and kept talking, but he disappeared into the crowd, never to be seen again. Angel?

Happenstance? Whatever?……. What matters is how I felt and how I changed and how I

incorporated what he shared with me so quickly into my own life,. This encounter made

me heal inside.

Can I sit quietly in prayer and ask who my Guardian Angel is?
