My mother told me about angels when I was very young. She explained that angels announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds in the fields and told them where to find Him. She also told me that I had a guardian angel and that I should thank him every day for his protection.
I have had several near-death experiences where I was saved with no rational explanation.
At one time I tried to tell the attending physician that my angel told me what to do to avert death during a heart attack. He didn’t believe me but he could not explain how I survived the ordeal. He wanted to send me home without a complete diagnosis because I didn’t appear to be sick enough for a heart attack, but a call to a friendly cardiologist got the proper tests and I was in surgery within the hour to clear a blockage in my left descending artery and install a stent.
Another example happened when I was travelling on old M-78 east of town. M-78 was a divided highway and the speed limit was 55 miles per hour. Is I drove down the highway at a normal speed, I saw a car going at a high rate of speed across the opposite side of the road and was about to cross the intersection right in front of me. A high speed impact was inevitable. I tried to step on the brake, knowing that a collision was imminent, but my foot froze on the gas instead. As the car lurched forward I looked at my speedometer. The engine gunned and the car sped up to over 85 miles per hour in seconds. I panicked, because that was not my intent. Time stopped as I looked in the rearview mirror and watched the car pass within inches of my rear bumper. As I looked in the mirror I saw the man looking at me through the drivers window with glazed, uncomprehending eyes as he passed by in slow motion. I knew he was either drunk or stoned. The incident was so close that I had to pull over and gather my wits. I knew that , had I not sped up, I would have been broadsided by thee drunk driver. It was only later that I realized that I had the assistance of my guardian angel.
The following event borders on the weird, but tangible experience that I had with an angel. As I was dreaming, a being walked up to me and greeted me. I say a “being” because he appeared to be transparent, but glowing. He had the form of a man, but appeared to have a supernatural power that resonated within me as he spoke, or rather communicated.
As he approached, he said, “Greetings, Tony, I wish to tell you that you are a valuable employee for ABC, the company of which I am the Guardian.”
I was stunned. I did not recognize the name of the company.
“No, I’m not, I work for XYZ Company.”
He smiled and chided, “You indeed work for ABC Company, as you will soon find out.”
With that comment, he faded out, leaving me wide awake in bed. I couldn’t shake that dream, but did not know who to talk with about it. Six months later, I received a company communication announcing that they had changed their name to ABC Company. Then I realized that I must have spoken to its guardian angel. There is no other explanation.
