| By Sue Wale I didn't realize it at the time, but the first sign of the guardian angel occurred a couple of minutes before I became aware I was even in any danger. On my close left sat a co-worker who had come to my office with serious personal problems. To my right an intensely clear, sparkling light suddenly caught my eye. I stared at it in amused puzzlement and curiosity for a while. Shortly after returning my attention to the co-worker, he began talking in an increasingly emotional tone. Next thing I knew, the co-worker simply snapped, losing all control. In a rage of insanity, he lunged at me. He threatened total destruction. Pinned in my armchair, attempting to protect myself from his blows, I somehow never experienced the degree of fear that I would ordinarily expect of such an event. In the first of several similar instances, his swings were interrupted by what looked like an invisible tugging at his wrist where his metal, expandable watchband was. This caused him to step back baffled, yanking his arm forward as if trying to free it. I watched as he stood cradling and rubbing his wrist, as if attempting to regain use and control of it. He handled his watchband repeatedly, as if trying to loosen and readjust it around his wrist. He seemed unable to come after me during these intervals, which resulted in knocking some of the wind out of his sails and enabled me to scramble out of his reach momentarily. Each of the man's subsequent chase and attack attempts were also interrupted in the same way, until I finally managed to get out of the office and safely down the hall. The discouraged co-worker never did succeed in seriously hurting me or anyone else. So now I think that the next time I see an intensely clear, sparkling light for no apparent reason, I just might take closer stock in my immediate situation. I now believe it was an angel and I am very thankful! ************************* |
By Jennifer Joshua Like many of us seekers of a more meaningful life, I had sold everything I had that was of value to be able to afford to start my life over. The only thing I kept was a pair of one carat diamond and stud earrings. They were my shining symbol of what I had once created and could do again, this time through the Grace of God, not the will of the ego. I treasured them and wore them daily. One day while I was changing clothes, I pulled my sweater over my head and caught a thread in one of the earrings. To my horror, I watched the earring fly through the air headed directly for the commode, which was flushing at the time. Only tow inches away from losing my diamond to the endless sewers of the world, I instinctively called the name of one of my Angels and asked for help. Instantaneously I saw the earring change it's trajectory in mid-air and move sharply six inches to the left, allowing it to land safely on the floor! For the next two minutes, all I could say is, "Oh thank you, thank you , thank you!…" I soon became embarrassed that I had called upon this magnificent invisible being to save something as trivial as my earring. It was then that my heart filled up with a warm and brilliant awareness. I heard my heart whisper to me, "You deserve to wear diamonds on our ears, and we are here to remind you when you forget." I then realized that there was no such thing as an ordinary moment and that I am never, ever alone. |
