Visiting Angels

When Visited by Angels (or An Angel) in our time of need ...  Remember that God commands the Angels, and the Glory and Honor should go to God alone.

An Angel Visited Me

"About three years ago I had to have back surgery. While working as a home health aid I lifed a lady I was taking care of and I could feel something in my back "snap". I believe in God, but I was afraid. While waiting to be taken to surgery, a big handsome man came into my room. He was wearing a cross. I told him I liked it. He said, "I am a Christian, would you like me to pray for you?" I said, "yes." He did and left the room. AFTER HE PRAYED ALL FEAR LEFT ME. After the surgery, I asked them to ask him to come in so I could thank him. They told me that no one that looked anything like that worked there. I will always believe God sent me an angel that day. Today, I am a minister." Joyce. "God makes His angels to be ministering spirits..." (Hebrews 1:14)
 

Helped by an Angel

When I dropped my aunt off at a restaurant, she insisted I not get out of the car to help her as I usually did, since she walked with a cane for extra balance.  Well, against my better judgement, I finally agreed to let her go it alone.  As she entered the building, I started to drive away until all of a sudden I heard a terrible scream.  She had fallen with her arm caught in the bar handle of the door and bone protruding from her arm.  The first thing that ran through my mind as it always does, was my desperate plea to God.  I silently prayed, "Oh, my dear God please help me!" I panicked, even with medical training, the sight of a loved one in that condition was a real challenge.   My aunt was a tall, large woman, and I knew I wouldn't be able to lift her and release her arm from the handle with a minimal amount of risk of further injury to the arm.  I asked the restaurant personnel to call 911, but they insisted I do it.  I asked for help in moving her, but no one seemed too willing. 
At that moment, the largest man I had ever seen, an African-American man with striking good looks, dressed nicely with tie, approached in a very slow and deliberate manner.  It was as though there were no other people present except this stranger, my aunt and I.  I immediately said, "thank God you're here, I don't know how I would have moved her".  I nervously gave him instructions on how to minimize further injury and suggestions on the best way to try and move her.  He never spoke a word, even when I  asked several times what he thought or if he agreed.  This tall large strong and striking man never uttered a word.
He ended up moving her by himself, almost effortlessly and I supported the arm.  Once she was lying flat on the floor, I turned my attention to my aunt for just a few seconds, and when I turned to thank the man again, I watched him take a few steps back into the restaurant area (still very slow and graceful as though he was walking on a cloud or almost as if floating), and then he was nowhere to be seen or found.  I looked but could not see him anywhere.

After my aunt was taken in the ambulance, I started to search for the kind stranger again.  I asked the host of the restaurant who was at the front door when this happened, and witnessed the whole incident, but he said he had not seen the very large, striking figure of this man, and insisted they did not have an employee that matched his description.  He said he only saw me with my aunt.  I asked the customers at the restaurant if they had seen him, but no one had.  We searched throughout the restaurant too, in case he was a customer, but he was nowhere in sight.  I asked for the manager who denied having an employee fitting the description and then spoke with 5 other employees who then asked every employee in the place for me.  The answer was always the same.  No one had seen the man walk up to us or leave the area and he was not an employee of the restaurant.  I know the restaurant employees thought I was a bit overwrought, but

I am convinced, that our faithful Lord, sent an Angel to help that day.
