There is a fascination among many over angels. I have not met a ton of angels, but my husband Bill had a cool encounter one day.

It was a cold sleeting October day. He was out handing out lunches one Sunday afternoon. It was a miserable day to say the least. Bill and others, would often bring lunches to the homeless on the streets of Toronto. After giving out several lunches, he approached a fellow he had never met before. This guy was different. In his hands was a wooden angel he had been carving. He looked Bill in the eye and said" God sees everything you do and is pleased." Bill was warmed all the way down to his toes.

Another time, was when we were on holidays with our kids. We had stopped for lunch. It was a beautiful day. Our vehicle was new. We had no problems with it. When we were finished our quick lunch break, we were ready to continue our journey. We jumped in the car, seat belts on.... the car would not start. This made no sense whatsoever. Bill looked under the hood, nothing looked unusual. He sat back in the car with us. We prayed and asked God for His intervention. A few minutes passed and the car started. Off we went, mystified but thankful.

As we got onto the highway and had driven not more then ten minutes, the traffic slowed. A semi truck was accross the highway, people were in the ditches, cars all over the place. It had happened only minutes ago. We had just missed it.

If eyes could see, perhaps there was an angel on assignment that day. Our hearts were heavy for the people who were in this accident certainly. We were grateful for our vehicle that would not start only minutes ago.

In the Bible, it says that we entertain angels unaware. It also says that escapes of death belong to the Lord. God watches over you and I because He loves us. He cares for you every day. We do not know how many times He has intervened on our behalf, likely more then you know!
