Angels Everywhere

Good Morning DearHearts,

Recently I experienced what I shall refer to as a “medical situation”. Like many of these experiences it arrived without any advance notice and therefore was considered a surprise. As the situation progressed it became the full focus of my attention and remained in that coveted spot for several weeks.

As the experience unfolded and played out I kept trying to remind myself to “see the blessings”. I knew nothing appears without a benefit but in the middle of the drama it is often hard to remember and find the seemingly elusive blessings.

I found myself in the hospital; and was then told I would need an operation. My mind was in total disbelief and I felt a little betrayed by my body. But there I was and from an ACIM perspective there was a reason I was there.

One thing I experienced was an abundance of love and prayers coming my way from every direction. As my daughter posted my situation on her FB page and asked for prayers to guide me through the operation, the response was significant and immediate. I received phone calls and text messages from friends and co-workers. I experienced being held in the Light of Healing.

And OH those nurses and aides!

Nurses have been referred to as “angels of mercy” and although none on my floor had wings tucked under their uniforms, most of them possessed the exact characteristics hoped for under the circumstances. They were kind, reassuring, gentle and caring.

In particular however, was one aide who was truly an angel. I will not divulge her name but I do want to share why she was so angelic to me.
She is obviously a woman with a big heart and she always came in my room with a smile and a reassurance. She spoke of her family and asked about mine, she never seemed to be in a rush to get to her next patient, she was so gentle when she had to stick me with needles that I barely felt a thing.

However what convinced me of her angelic status was on the day of the operation. It had been a very long time since I was in that situation and I could feel myself getting fearful. My “angel” walked in and saw tears in my eyes. She gave me a hug that was full of loving kindness and then she asked me, “Do you have a relationship with God?” I nodded yes and she looked at me and said, “You are going to be fine”, and I believed her.

The worry and fear I had felt seemed to slip away and I was calm. It truly felt as though I had received a heavenly message.

She was right, I am fine.

To my knowledge stories of angels appear in most, if not all, religions. They also have a prominent place in many spiritual paths and stories of near death experiences. Angels are indeed everywhere.

A Course in Miracles does not dwell on the presence of angels, but they indeed are mentioned several times. One favorite mentioning is from the Text, Chapter 26.
“Around you angels hover lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin, and keep the light where it has entered in.”

My angel most certainly hovered and dispelled the dark thoughts. She is a reminder
THAT

There IS Great LOVE Hear For Us, Now!

In Light, Love, Peace and HEALING,
