Angels

Do you believe in angels?

I read this great book called the afterlife is real, by Therase Cheung.:smile1:

It's very uplifting (suprisingly).

God assigned all of us at least one Guardian Angel. We should pray to our Angel every day for help.

Three words from me .........."Yes, I do"

Just like the ABBA song ....... I believe in Angels.

My guardian angel is my father who has watched over me, since I was, nearly, two years old.......... and also taken me, and my daughter, out of a life threatening episode, many years ago.
My mother told me, that he is always there to protect us (his family).

I also wish to believe that there is an afterlife.........just like the Mitch Albom book.......Five People you meet in Heaven.

I love all of Mitch's books and that is my favorite. Life changing! I also love "For One More Day" and "Tuesday's with Morrie", both by Mitch. A great book about Angels that watch over us is "Angel Letters" by Sophy Burnham.

Thanks for starting this thread. I need to read these again!

I want to believe in angels, and tend to, in some sense...... Things happen almost every day to make me think someone is looking out for me. These are often quite little things, like helping me find something I'm looking for. But they can be big things, too, like helping me out of a jam. All of the books mentioned above sound worth a look.

I totally agree, they are the best books........read them all, a few times


Anne, I also agree that you have a guardian........especially if he/she helps you find things. It happens all of the time and people just aren't aware of it.

My daughter lost her grandmothers wristwatch one day (not long after her grandmother passed away). We search high and low for this watch. Looked everywhere.
My daughter was working herself up in to a state (tears, the works) and as we walked around to search all over again, the watch fell off the top of the crystal cabinet.
Literally fell down and nearly hit my daughter in the head. No idea how it got up there but her grandmother was certainly over the crying and basically said......here is the watch, now quit it already

Well, there's something right now, a tool, actually, that I wish he or she would help me find. Usually, I've been looking for a bit and then when I've temporarily given up, something or someone makes me look right at the spot where the object is. In this mess of a house, that's a challenge. (Don, I did manage to clean and straighten enough to make a nice, clear spot to work on my broken potter's wheel motor! A necessity!)

I dont know about angels, but I belive that God is protecting me. otherwise I would have been dead already...

I dont know about angels, but I belive that God is protecting me. otherwise I would have been dead already... I'm not sure either whether it's angels or God or some other version of a divine spirit. We are not supposed to talk about religion on here, but I think it is OK to do so in a vague, non-denominational kind of way. I think it is important to many of us to feel that there is a higher power looking after us and also that things happen for a reason. True, a lot of us would have been dead by now without the intervention of some sort of grace, whether we want to call it divine or not.

I'm biting the holy ---- out of my tongue right now...oh, did I say "holy"...

Abiding by the rules of engagement on this forum I can at least mention the incident that happened to me without "upsetting" anyone.

It happened 5 years ago when I was first diagnosed and my second day in hospital. I was taken to one of the operating theatres to get prepped up for my plasmepheris treatment. Basically a very large tube was inserted into a major artery in my kneck and over the following days, my blood was spun out of my body and all the "nasty" cells removed. (I think thats right!)

Anyway I was laying on the slab and all I had was a local aneasthetic into my neck. I could hear them rummaging for a certain knife to cut my throat (sounds a bit dramatic but thats what it entailed). To say I was nervous would be an understatement and I glanced across to where the surgeon was standing. Suddenly he seemed to melt into a blinding light which infussed into the room and basically "whitened" it all out. I suddenly felt totally calm and even managed a smile and joked with the staff about the knives.

That was the start of what has been a life affirming event which has helped me enormously thru my Wegs Life. :thumbsup:

I hesitated about writing my story, I wrote it here yesterday but with second thought Im deleting it. sorry for the burden...

I definately believe there is life after death.When my father passed away,my mother had given me some of his pajama tops that I slept in some nights. But every morning while taking a shower getting ready for work I would break down in tears. I thought I was going to have a breakdown. One day I decided to take his pajamas and put them on top of my closet. While on the chair, I felt a hand on my shoulder,my hair on my neck stood up and I turned really cold. All I could do is say Dad ? and I looked around a saw a perfect figure of a short man wearing a hat and a longer jacket shaking is head no walking out my bedroom door.I was in such shock I couldn't do or say anything for a minute but when I went to look for him he was gone. And since that day I never cried over my father. Strange but true !!!!

These are interesting stories, and the thread is Angels, so I think they are appropriate. Alysia, I read yours, and am having trouble remembering the details, but am not so sure there was anything "wrong" with it, as far as the forum rules. I think if anyone was offended they would have said so. I know you mentioned one of your religious holidays, but I don't think that in itself is a big deal. It is more of a problem when people try to tell other people to believe something according to religious scripture or thought. These kinds of things can happen to anyone whether they are religious or not. So don't worry too much, Alysia, and Debra, I enjoyed the story about your dad.

thanks, Anne.

Hi Gwen :)

Sorry to jump into this thread, but I don't seem to be able to post anywhere else.

There's a Vaculitis UK support group meeting in Llantrisant this Saturday, if you're interested. As it covers Vasculitis in general, they'll probably talk about more than just WG, but the last one I went to was a good day out. Details are in the link below :)
