Angels Among Us

Are there angels among us?
 

Ask a dozen people that question and you'll probably get a dozen different answers.

Having been around for quite a few decades, I  would answer that question with a resounding "yes."

Something horrific may happen yet we come out of it unscathed.  Could it be we were just lucky?  Or was an angelic being protecting us from harm?  

My own daughter was a teenager when her car was hit by a drunk driver and propelled into a huge pole. We were called to the scene.  

The call was every parent's nightmare. We thought we had lost her as she was removed from the car with the jaws of life. My husband and I were held back by police from going to her unbelievably smashed car.

She survived that devastating crash and, with all my heart, I believe a guardian angel protected her from death that night. 

I always sent my children off with prayers for their protection and still do, although now I've added the grand kids, too.

Friends who have come into my life during dark and troubling times may also have been angels of sorts.  They touched my life in incredible ways with kindness and love.

The angel figure shown in today's post is one of my favorites.

She comes down from the attic every Christmas and makes me smile every time I look at her. 

DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS?
