Angels

As you may know, by reading my blog, I am a firm believer is Angels. I believe God sends one to you, perhaps a realtor, (happened to me) or a Mobile dismantle, (again to me) or he sends one in the deepest of night to comfort us.

The Realtor story.We had our house in town up for sale. One day I came home and the key was still in the lock. Anyone could have walked in and wiped us out. I immediately got on the phone and tried to find which one did it.
I was not angry, it was a mistake I wanted to make them aware of. When I finally located her, she came to apologize. We sat on the porch and chatted a while. We talked about our beliefs and I felt she had been sent to give me grace for a day.
Later that morning I called the Mobile dismantle. As I was discussing with him, what to do with the old mobile on our new property. He began telling me to put it in Gods hands.
Wow I did not know this man. His words to me were, "When I try to do something I always mess it up, When I just let God take control It turns out OK."
Again something to make my heart light and lift a load that was about to come my way.
A year prior I had Open Heart Surgery. I was told to avoid stress of all kind, Choose what bothers me and what does not then figure out why it would bother me, then let it go.
Learn the serenity prayer and use it, post it where I can see it.
I have a type A personality, I think I can fix anything and I want everyone happy. I want the world to spin smoothly, no bumps.
Unfortunately the world does not always spin the way I want, in fact it never does, God is in Control.
Within a few hours something happened that ordinarily I would have sat and cried and cried for days, I would have been upset, I would have wanted to snap back.
I did none of the above. I was sent Angels to help me deal with any problem that came up.
I was amazed at my own stamina through this trial.
And God took care of it.
Another time which was more important to me.
I had been sick for a few years, nothing the doctors could tell me was wrong. They put me on tranquilizers, (to make me settle down) They told me I had a weird virus, They told me to begin a walking regimen to strengthen my legs, (my legs hurt a lot). I began walking tow to four miles a day. The days I did not feel good, I would turn around and go back home. They told me I had Arthritis of the breastbone, (my chest hurt when I did something strenuous)
I am one of those people that listen and try to do what the doctors tell me. This went on for several years, That was three years I had been trying to get help.
It was so bad, at times I was afraid to lie down, I needed David some nights to be with me, as my head felt strange when I lay it down.
We bought a phone so I could page him in the next room if I was not doing good.
One night, I was particularly sick. I went to bed. David came in with me. We both fell asleep.
sometime in the middle of the night I began talking to my Angel, He had been with me lots of times.
I was talking as I talk to a person sitting on the side of my bed.

David raised up, he said, "Honey who are you talking to?"
I responded "Oh it is my Guardian Angel, Go back to sleep, Everything is OK".

The next morning I was very aware of what happened. I had told David many times "I have a guardian angel and I talk to him when I am sick"
David did not believe Angels just came in and watched over you. He believed in Angels but not in this sense.
I said, "Honey what did you see last night?" He said, "I saw a face it was hazy almost in blue." I asked him what I said, He repeated what I had told him the night before,
I said, "Do you believe me now?"
He said "Yes I saw something and you were definitely carrying on a conversation, It was one of those things you are aware of but wonder "am I dreaming,?"
I had a believer and I was so glad he saw my angel.
A few months later perhaps six, I was so sick, I told my doctor you have to check me out, I know something is wrong, bad wrong.
My doctor had no idea just how bad when he sent me for a heart cath, He thought maybe a little heart attack had happened or I had a small blockage. I knew better.
I was not surprised when the surgeon walked in and said, "I usually give patients options, You have not options left, if you do not have surgery you will Die."
My heart was blocked in five major arteries, main one being 100 % blocked, four others were 80 and 90 %. I was one blessed person.
My Body had made many, many collateral arteries to supply my heart and body with blood. I was alive only because of the miracle of Gods creation.
When I had my last heart cath, two years ago, the sub cardiologist told me he had never seen anything like it, I not only had collateral arteries but I had a big bundle of them.
Now tell me I don't have a guardian angel. It won't work, I know I do.
Thank you God for your undying care.
It has been six years in November since I had this taken care of, My arteries are again beginning to block. I make cholesterol, I take all kinds of meds, I watch my diet, I exercise. I am just genetically engineered the way God wanted me to be. My heart is a replica of my Dads, of that I am sure.
He died at 42 from heart disease, I have had 20 years he never had. I have seen my children flourish and trust in God. I have seen my many grandchildren.
I have been blessed.

You have been blessed indeed, Sue. I believe in guardian angels as well, and have had many experiences of their presence.

Are you now using David, instead of Sue? I am a bit confused on that.

Take care and God bless!
