Do I Believe in Angels? Yes, I do!

Posted by Jeannie Delahunt May 13, 2009

I heartily believe in the spiritual realms, the invisible realms, as I like to call them. Realms that cannot be seen, usually with human eyes.

Why angels? First, I do believe that Scripture is the inspired word of God, and since Scripture makes claims that angels exist, then I can believe in the existence of the creatures/servants of God with surety.

Any other reasons? Yes! I've had numerous close calls through out my life. Close calls, that, if, they had followed through, would have resulted, most probably, in my demise.

For instance, more than once I have gone off the road due to bad weather conditions. The first time, I slide through a stop sign onto a busy street. I hit the horn hard. Fortunately, the passengers in the car coming through heard the horn and were able to avoid me, but they hit a telephone pole, going about 45 mph.

Neither of us were hurt.

Another time, I hit a deer that had run out in front of my vehicle. The car slid on ice and I ended up in the only opening in a stone wall. Unfortunately, the poor animal was not so fortunate.

Another time I slid off the road in bad weather, I ended up on top of a stone wall, narrowly missing a telephone pole.

The next one, to this day, sets me into a reflective mode. About 25 years ago, I was going to school in Boston. Sometimes I took the train from the Beverly Depot into North Station in Boston.

This particular afternoon, the temperature was 50 degrees below zero. I well remember this, because I had heard the weather report before I left my home.

The Depot was deserted. The parking lot was a sheet of ice. Of course, I got stuck and couldn't move either forwards or backwards. I had nothing in the car to throw under the tires as well. Now what? Panic was setting in.

Then I noticed a young man, perhaps in his late 20s walking towards the Depot. He was at least a block away from where I was. Now what struck me, was, here the temperature wind chill factor is minus 50 degrees. This young man was dressed in the style of the day, business casual with a light sweater vest - no coat, mittens or any kind of protective outer clothing for this kind of cold weather.

He was almost 2 blocks away from where I was. He continued walking. As I watched him, he walked right up to my vehicle. I was driving a Volkswagen bug at the time. He placed his bare hands on the vehicle and gave a push. A push I didn't even feel, and I was free. When I swung the vehicle around, he had disappeared. I couldn't see him anywhere. I drove around the Depot and the streets nearby, but I could not find him. I had wanted to thank him and offer him a ride.

I truly believe this person was an angel.

There are more stories, but these, especially the last one are the best.

A friend of mine who was recently hospitalized with some serious pneumonia had had four visitors to her hospital room. When she asked the three who were good friends of hers, who the fourth person was with them, they were perplexed, because they could not see the fourth individual. My friend truly believes that an angel had accompanied them.

Got any angel stories? I'd love to hear them!
