Have you ever wondered if there is an Angel in your life? I know I certainly have wondered over time. Every sense I was a little girl there has always been something or someone protecting me from danger. Not the kind of childhood danger we all experience. After all this is a part of life and must be experienced. I am talking about the kind of protection when you are driving really fast and you should not be able to make the corner. Much to your surprise, you sail through the corner without a scratch. Yep, this is what it is all about. Special little things at the strangest of times. Here is one of my stories:
Bob and I and our three daughters moved to Pennsylvania in July of 1991. It was a truly beautiful summer here in the Pocono Mountains. I lost my job because it was just too hard to commute from where we live to Long Island City, Queens, NY. My car broke down and I had to rely on others to get my daughters back and forth to the bus stop which was two miles away. Many afternoons I had to walk in the cold of late fall and winter to walk back home with them because others were working and unavailable.
It was a very dark, cloudy, dreary day outside. Two days prior to Christmas we were three months behind in our mortgage, very little fuel oil to heat the house and no money for Christmas presents for the girls. I sat on my sofa and started to cry. I asked if there was something I could do to give my daughters a little Christmas. I have two large sky lights in my living room right over the sofa. As I sat there and the tears would not stop, I was frightened that I was letting the girls down as a mother. All of a sudden, a ray of sight came through the sky light and touched my shoulder. At that very instance, I knew in my heart that everything would be all right. I just knew and that was all there was to it.
That evening, Bob came home with a large check. It was more than enough to pay the mortgage up to date. We were able to fill the fuel tank which lasted through the winter and into the next. We had groceries for a month and most of all we were able to give the girls a nice little Christmas. I do not know what touched my shoulder that day. I do know the love and warmth I felt was so intense it made me feel as though I was whole. It made me realized I am not alone in this world. It made me realize I have a Guardian Angel watching over me on a daily basis.
Today, as I move through life, I feel the presence of my Angel. I am grateful for its influence in my life. More importantly, I can always speak to my Angel about anything. As it is with God I may not always get what I ask for, but I do get what I need to move forward in my life. I am wishing you an amazing day full of blessings and peace.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. In these tough economic times this is especially uplifting.

I enjoyed reading this, I can think back to so many moments when things could have gone so wrong and here I am.
Hi Jo, thanks for such a gently written article. I know I’m save and protected as I feel it, but to me it is God…there could be Angels too… Thanks for sharing!
I believe in angles. I cant say that I have seen one like some people say. But I do believe!

So glad that your story had a happy ending..I believe that our Lord has angels surrounding us at all times. I had one visit me when my Mom passed away and I was in my deepest despair. This appearance showed me that all would be well and that my Mom was indeed in a better place, and out of pain. Thanks for sharing.. hugs!
Daisy, I had a cousin who passed away from Lou Gerics and it was terrible. However before she passed she told us her Angel visited her and told her what to expect. When she did pass, she had a look of total peace and I guess it is hard to explain. She was happy and welcomed her own passing because of her belief. I found great comfort in the words she said. Donna kept a journal of what transpired with her Angel. I have not seen the journal but can only imagine what was written. Our of pain comes light. Our of our pain comes a comfort all will be well and we shall all meet again. Blessings. Jo
What a touching story. I, too, believe that we are watched over and cared for, that we have angels both heavenly and earthly to minister to us and give us hope.
Marie, Thank you so much for your comment. We are indeed watched over and taken care of our spirits. My belief was deep rooted as a child and has carried me through many hard times. You are so right there are angels here on earth who take care of our earthly needs and then when that is no longer the case, we have our heavenly Angels to help us through the rest. Blessings. Jo
Beautiful story, Jo, thanks so much for sharing! I absolutely agree with you that there is SOMETHING watching over me. I can’t even count how many times I’ve thanked the universe for protecting me in this way. I don’t think it matters what you call it – spirit, angel, God . . . I’m just glad I’ve got it!
