It was 2:30 in the morning -- almost twenty years ago -- but I remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was sitting up with a family member who was critically ill with Stage 4 advanced cancer.
I felt a strong hand on my shoulder but knew that was impossible as I was sitting up against a wall. It was so strong, though, I found myself looking around. That was when I became aware of the incredibly strange, strong light in the room.
I looked around and there they were.
They surrounded my loved one's bed yet I could still clearly see through them to see her.
"They" were several angels.
No, I had not been drinking.
No, it wasn't a dream.
Yes, I was wide awake.
It was a very real and clear manifestation of angels from heaven surrounding her and protecting her at such a critical time.
I don't know about you but my idea of angels used to be little cute cuddly beings who happily bounced about from cloud to cloud.
This bunch of angels were far from being cute and cuddly. They were HUGE. They looked like football players - except they had wings. Big, beautiful wings that were partially extended - as if to form a barrier. There was not an inch of space allowed to get in between them.
Death had no place there that night.
They saw to it.
Yet for all the mix of glorious wings, I could very clearly see the angels and I could still see my loved one. She rested, perhaps, for the first time that evening. It was an incredibly sacred moment and I felt so blessed to have the honor of seeing them watch over her and protect her.
The sight of these angels was extraordinary.
Their presence was life-changing for me.
They were so huge and overwhelming in their presence so their name was very clear to me. They were the "Don't Mess With Me Angels".
It is years down the road now. I have often prayed for those very angels and, while I have felt their presence, I have never had the opportunity to actually see them again. Even if I do not see them I know they are there.
And since that time I have had people who know of my experience ask me to pray for the "Don't Mess With Me Angels" for them or their situation. I love to share of this very personal and powerful experience. It was a privilege to actually see a physical manifestation of the here and now with the sacred come down from heaven.
I would love to hear your "angel experience."
Perhaps you haven't had one. If not, open your mind and your heart to the miraculous that is waiting for just the right moment.
When they come believe me, you will be very clear on their presence! And you will know love in a most profound and glorious way.
Yet again, I find myself praying this day for the "Don't Mess With Me Angels" for someone I love. It is reassuring to know - whether I see them or not this time - that they are there, surrounding him and preparing him for whatever is to come.
May your heart be filled this day with the realization of the holy in our midst.
Enjoying the Journey
